I thought that (while it's a change of user interface) it might be more appropriate to use date-based generic views for both previous_announcement.cgi and recent_announcement.cgi.

That's a tradeoff between our plan to "not change look and feel" vs. using new features that django enables.

This got lost in the trac failure:

two things that need to happen in the view and template:

• (in the view) if there is no ballot id, then check for the presence of a (historical) file

• (in the template) if there is no ballot id, then link to the file. if there is no file, then don't link.

Replying to ietf-svn-conversion/datatracker#23 (comment:4):
Just found out that the Secretariat (Foretec era) had been storing some old announcement messages since October 1998. Therefore, the tool should list announcments from October 1998.

Inline.

• (in the view) if there is no ballot id, then check for the presence of a (historical) file
  Why would view.py need to check for the presence of a historical file while the template is doing same checking as stated below?

• (in the template) if there is no ballot id, then link to the file. if there is no file, then don't link.
  I did some quick research on how a template can check a file system, but no luck yet.
  Does any body know how a template can read the file system?

BTW, the perl script is only displaying the items with ballot_id, not filed ones.

The view does the checking, since the template can't, and stores the info in the objects getting passed to the template.

• (in the template) if there is no ballot id, then link to the file. if there is no file, then don't link.

The view should check the filesystem, and the template should look at the results of that check.
