Create mechanism for templates

I propose that the front page for templates is kept short, with links to:

  • about the Simile template mechanism;
  • how to work with templates;
  • the template catalogue.

The template catalogue should be a table built up automatically by harvesting information from the template pages (if this is possible), or manual editing (if not).

Adding a News story

From the Create content menu in the left bar click the Story item.

In the ensuing form:

Duplicate Simile release notes urls from old site

The release notes are in Drupal as news stories. The old urls must work.

Would also be good to incorporate release notes into the Drupal Simile project

XMI - XML Metadata Interchange

"XMI is a way to save UML models in XML"

Therefore, XMI can be a way to save the class-and-association structure of Simile models in XML.

Therefore, XMI can be leveraged (along with MathML, GraphML, Dublin Core...) to provide a standards-rich language for Simile models, and save a lot of work in the process.

Recent forum and blog post blocks to include date and time

From Robert's blog

This may require customising the blog and forum modules (the block hook function).

May be able to make custom blocks using the Views module

Could check the Recent comments also the recent news, which I think is a View.

Modify creation dates ofnews stories

The back filled news stories mess up listings with story creation dates when added to Drupal rather than when it was new.

Should be able to change the dates in the database.

Make text in the left side-bar smaller

Fit more information in.

It is also secondary information.

XSugar: bi-directional transformation to/from XML

XSugar enables one to define a single set of mapping rules between a non-XML and an XML format for the same information.  The rule-set can then be used in either direction.  This is a far superior approachh to requiring one to write two one-way transformations.

XSLT - the XML Stylesheet Language for Transformations

XSLT is used too transform XML documents into some other XML, HTML, or plain text.
