Have individual project subpages

[rufuspollock]

Suggest projects have a url-usable name and get a location at http://okfnlabs.org/project/{name}

Question of what we link to on projects list page

• link to project page on okfnlabs by default via both image and the name but also have a small url named "project homepage"
• OR link to project home page by default and have a link called "more info" that links to okfnlabs page

I incline somewhat to the latter ...

@andylulz thoughts? I know this was something you considered in your refactor ...

I’ve done it for the very-similar-yet-subtly-different /projects/{name}/index.html. I can’t seem to get jekyll to get rid of that index.html!

I think I’d opt for the latter of those options as well. At the moment though, “more info” doesn’t strictly give any more info – it’s just a permalink to a page containing the same content (since the project layout html is currently a copy/paste of the html in the project list markdown.)

I’ve called it “more info” anyway, assuming these layouts will diverge in the future.

Ah note: you can link to /projects/{name}/ but you will need permalink in project page frontmatter to be /projects/{name}/index.html

You’re right! But…

I don’t think we have a useful variable we can use… {{ name }} doesn’t exist (in jekyll 1.0.2, anyway). {{ id }} almost does the right thing, but not quite. We could add some meta to the frontmatter of project posts that matches the filename, but it’s just a shame to duplicate information like that. Alternatively, I expect we can generate the variable we need in a plugin.

Does the site’s hosting allow plugins, or is it run in safe mode (like github pages)?

[rufuspollock]

I would just explicitly add "name" as an attribute on projects. I know it dupes the filename but that's life ;-)

Aha! All makes sense now! I’ll do that now.
