CD-ROM dev notes

Source: Prepared by jtb for Access to Insight.

For free distribution. This work may be republished, reformatted, reprinted, and redistributed in any medium. It is the author's wish, however, that any such republication and redistribution be made available to the public on a free and unrestricted basis and that translations and other derivative works be clearly marked as such.

Preparation for a 2007 CD-ROM edition of Access to Insight is underway. I'm aiming for a release date in Fall 2007. These are just notes to myself.

Site prep

The CD will be constructed from the "bulk download" edition ("BE"), with CSS localized for the CD. In particular, links to PDF files will be local.

Other considerations:

Search form on each page must be consistent ("search online" or "search"?)
Make clear that the Firefox search plugin is for online searches only

Final prep checklist

Configure Vicaya (it's a "hidden bonus feature")
Make downloadable ISO image of CD
