Web Site Project

• Clean up the logo and create a Japanese and Spanish one..
• Clean up the <span lang="xxx> labelling everywhere.
• Straighten up the META tag information for KEYWORDS and DESCRIPTION..
• Make sure all pages display properly in IE 6, Mozilla 1.5, and whatever the Macintosh browser is, in both English and Japanese.
• Make the picture on the front page change every time the page is loaded and that the link to that child's page works.

This page is an in-progress planning document for translation.  We are also looking for volunteers to do some of the translation for free.  If you can help, please contact webmaster (@ ]crnjapan.com.  (Technical work has been done already as part of the Spanish translation.)

500 translation

This will require a "free site account" and registration system, along with a simple interface for people to manipulate options.  Options we want to add are 1) a whitelist capability to allow select people to send email.  2) ???

Eventually, but not now, integrate this with a mailing list software package for tighter integration, and so that we can do better rejection of mailing addresses that are abusive.

• Create a utility for the webmaster to use to to generate a unique access code and account name.  It should add a record to the database and setup any directories that might be necessary in order to handle this entry.  (This is probably all stored in the database though.) A question and answer form that gathers the information in one place.
• Anyplace that may be in Japanese should allow you to upload a jpg instead if desired.  That is because not everyone will be able to input Japanese, and this will allow them to upload a scanned in picture of the kanji instead.  The web master will then come along later and input the actual kanji that can be indexed by a search engine.  But he needs to both see the kanji and have the pronunciation to do this.
• A free form text or html area for the message.  So must allow uploading of arbitrary files for pictures.  But this free form area will be limited to very simply html.  Any javascript or dangerous html must be filtered out.
• Ability to choose the format of pictures and info at top of page.   2 choices: picture-text or  picture-text-picture.  Single picture option allows a choice between a 160x240 and a 240x240 pixel picture.  Dual Picture option uses/makes a picture that is 160x240.  (width-x-height)  The user is then able to upload either one or two pictures, which are massaged into the right dimensions automatically.  The modified picture itself should be linked to the originally uploaded picture.  So you could, for example, upload a picture that was was 10X the required resolution, and therefore high enough quality to download and print.  Note that 160x240 is 4x6 size and 240x240 is any square size.  Recommended size is 1200x1800 or 1200x1200.  In any case, after upload, the picture will be transformed such that the width is 1200 to make the linked picture.  That will be reduced by a factor of 7.5 or 5 to make the proper width picture.  (There also needs to be a checkbox to say "have someone look at this picture and try to manually improve it.")
• Ability to specify whether you would like to be contactable by the press or others.  (This is a somewhat moot point though, because since you have contact information there already, they can contact you.)
• It should be possible to come back at any time and add or modify your information if you still have the original code from the webmaster.
• Some sections should be required. (Specify in a more detailed design doc later.) Any other section whose information is left out should not appear on the screen.
• Email addresses, if used for contact, should be mailto: links.

Actually, with the #3 Anonymous email addresses, a member does not have to give out their personal email to the world.
