This is a HUGE commit and this task is not done. There are still some
changes that might need to be discussed and since so much is done here I
think it's better to let this go through and then make sure everything
is okay. When the remaining references are discussed they can also be
changed.
I did NOT include changes in the tmp/OLD_manifest directory.
Some of the changes in this commit (it might be exhaustive but it might
not be - not sure):
- In the Makefiles the WINNERS was renamed AUTHORS.
- References to winners.html were changed to authors.html.
- The FAQ named anchor 'fix_a_winner' was renamed 'fix_an_entry'.
- The JSON fields (or whatever they're called) 'winner_id' and
'winner_JSON_format_version' were changed so that 'winner' is 'entry'.
- In scripts for entries 'IOCCC winner' was changed to 'IOCCC entry'.
- 'winners_text' is now 'entries_text'. It might be better to be
'entry_text' as it's per entry but this was not noticed at first. Since
this is easy to fix I am holding off on this for the meantime.
- The script tmp/update-manifest.sh now has the commit log messages
changed to the correct terms as well.
The index.html files were updated as well with any of the above
changes.
There are some references that should NOT be updated. Two examples
caught (and maybe more have slipped through that will have to be changed
back): in 1984/anonymous/README.md the author wrote back to Landon after
being told about the famous tattoo and they used the words:
.. my entry will be the first IOCCC winner ..
but since this comes from the author it should remain so.
The other one is that winners.html should still refer to winners.html as
it informs people that it's been moved to authors.html (it does redirect
too but even so if it was changed it would defeat the purpose of the
message).
With paths like authors.html I tried to copy paste so that hopefully
there are no typos. It is possible that I did not end up doing this with
all but these can be fixed when discovered.
I'm almost positive that my earlier fixes to the scripts for the other
languages was all that is needed and the reason they don't work is due
to the dictionary and the fact that in some languages it is hard if not
impossible to form perfect pangrams especially with the entire alphabet.
This appears to be the case with German. A point of interest that I put
in the German scripts is:
# Are the umlauts ä, ö, ü and Eszett (ß) letters in the German alphabet? There
# is more than one opinion on the subject but a lot of words do have an umlaut
# (or Umlaut in German). In some (probably all) systems this script outputs
# nothing probably because it's very hard to form a perfect pangram in German,
# if it's not impossible. Nevertheless, we do include the other characters
# whether or not they are in your view considered part of the alphabet for the
# reason that so many words have them.
I put it 'if it's not impossible' because this also depends on what
letters are provided. These scripts give the entry every letter,
however, including those with diacritics so in the case of German it's
not going to work. It is possible to make it work if you remove some
letters or you give a word that has all the letters (but that kind of
defeats the purpose). As for the other languages I don't know if it's
possible or not (and I'm not fluent in German either - I just know
some). A search suggested it's possible in some other languages but the
author noted it's not in Spanish at least according to their estimates.
Nevertheless I believe that the fixes I made are all that's needed so
this entry now has INABIAF in the bugs.md file.
Fixed the Makefile so the alt version would actually build. Added
scripts to use the alt version instead.
Format/typo check README.md file.
Added try.sh and try.alt.sh.
Downloaded and converted the PS file linked to by the author to PDF and
added to repo.
