Fixed link in `inc/guidelines.pending.hdr`.
Improved link in `inc/rules.open.hdr`.
Updated timestamps and sitemap with `make gen_status gen_sitemap timestamp`.
Changed `bin/status2html.sh` VERSION from "1.4.3 2024-08-05"
to "1.4.4 2024-12-29".
Performed `make quick_www` on macOS to complete the above.
We set dates and times for when IOCCC28 will go into pending state,
open state, and judging state. These dates are subject to change until
the content enters the open state.
Modified both `next/guidelines.md` and `next/rules.md` as per the
IOCCC28 dates and times.
Improve the `next/guidelines.md` and `next/rules.md` text around IOCCC28 dates and times.
We processed the XXX's in markdown files that needed processing.
Fixed a minor typo in `bin/cvt-submission.sh`.
Made some minor formatting improvements to `faq.md`, `next/register.md`,
`next/rules.md`, `next/guidelines.md`, `README.md` and `index.md`.
Updated "Rule 3" in `next/rules.md` in regards to the above.
Updated "Rule 8" in `next/rules.md` in regards to the above.
Changed `faq.md` version from **28.1.8 2024-12-07**

to **28.15 2024-12-28**.
TODO: Review these changes.
As per the TODO:
- [ ] Verify the markdown code blocks are properly indented
```sh
find . -name '*.md' ! -name markdown.md -print0 | xargs -0 pcregrep -M '^``.*\n[^|`\n \t]'
```
Fixed `1998/dorssel/dorssel.md` and `thanks-for-help.md`.
Performed `make quick_www` to process the above.
It turned out that `next/rules.md` was modified in the section marked
between:
```html
<!-- START: this line starts content from: inc/rules.closed.hdr -->
```
and:
```html
<!-- END: the next line ends content from: inc/rules.closed.hdr -->
```
Instead, `inc/{guidelines,rules}.*.hdr` should be modified as
`make gen_status` uses these files to form this content.
The menu in all html pages for the FAQ was fixed to link to the step 0
(of how to enter the contest) and also it was renamed ('Enter the
IOCCC').
I also went through the most important sections of the FAQ (how to
enter and the mkiocccentry related questions) and checked the
register.html, pw-change.html and submit.html pages. It is possible I
have missed something but I think it's in pretty good shape nonetheless.
Some broken links were fixed in some of the files like next/index.html,
next/pw-change.html, next/index.html and status.html.
Some wrong images were used in next/submit.html (or at least referred to
wrong if not wrong image).
Useful update to FAQ about the answers file in mkiocccentry.
There might have been other things.
This might be all that is needed for next/ wrt the register/change
password/submit but it's possible something has slipped through.
Make lines beginning (in markdown files) 'BTW' bold. Rebuilt the
respective html pages.
Slight update to abstract in two entries (1985/shapiro and
1994/shapiro). One is changing 'defines' to '#defines' and the other was
a typo fix.
Fixed make gen_next: added missing new files.
Various fixes in next/register.html (typos and other things).
Typo/format fixes were made in next/pw-change.html, next/register.html,
next/submit.html.
The screenshot for register step 6 (welcome email) was updated to
reflect a typo I had reported (after it was fixed). The html file still
has to be checked for rendering and that will be done soon.
1985/sicherman now has an abstract of: rot13 w/strange #defines that
create comment headers etc.
I note that this is longer than what I believe was what was desired.
However it is the same length as it was before, only that it now has #defines
instead of #defs.
1988/phillipps has: 12 Days of Christmas recursive main() calls w/tables
instead of 'days of christmas heavily main() calling with tables'. The
rewording was necessary to keep the length the same but to be more
clear. I just remembered however, that to fix it for modern systems, a
new function had to be added which is the recursive function, so it no
longer is strictly true that it it is recursive main() calls. It might
be better to keep it main(), however, as that was the original award.
The difference here is that it is now a bit more correct in the output.
We added some images to `next/register.md` and thus to
`next/register.html`.
We modified FAQ 0.0 with these 2 new steps:
3. Wait for your submit server username and initial password
4. Login to the submit server and change your password
This is just a checkpoint: these need to be improved but
we are too tired.
NEEDED TODO: Create a new `next/chpw.html` page and move the images
and text from the new FAQ 0.0 step 4 into this new place.
This will keep the step of FAQ 0.0 shorter to read while
keeping the details and images in a separate web page.
We make the note about something changing the subject to be more generic
so that it may both better "stand the test of time" (as the expression
goes) and be more generic to be better "future proof" (as the expression
also goes).
Performed `make quick_www` to update the HTML pages.
TODO: Add images and/oor text blocks to steps in `next/register.md`.
We added lettered steps to `next/register.md` as part of our
configuring the mailing list for IOCCC28.
Change "IOCCC Judges" to the more commonly used "IOCCC judges"
and made it a HTML link in `2014/README.md`, `2015/README.md`,
and `faq.md`.
Added a reference to "first time login" in `next/submit.md`.
Improved some text in Step 3 of FAQ 0.0 of `faq.md`.
Performed `make quick_www` to update the HTML pages.
TODO: Need to add images to the lettered steps in `next/register.md.
Added a new `next/submit.html` to move the "how to submit" form "in-line"
of the top FAQ entry into a new page managed by `next/submit.md`.
Thus, `next/submit.html` is a parallel to `next/register.html`
and `next/submit.md` is a parallel to `next/register.md`.
Changed the FAQ "faq.html#submit" and into "faq.html#enter".
Added individual tags for the steps in FAQ0.0.
Moved "faq.html#register" down to FAQ 0.0 step 2.
Added "faq.html#submit" for FAQ 0.0 step 5,
however elsewhere often "next/submit.html" is used.
Changed references for "faq.html#upload" to "next/submit.html".
We made a number of changes to the following markdown files to reflect the above:
- `about.md`
- `faq.md`
- `index.md`
- `markdown.md`
- `next/README.md`
- `next/README.md`
- `next/guidelines.md`
- `next/register.md`
- `next/rules.md`
- `nojs-menu.md`
- `status.md`
as well as these files:
- `bin/gen-top-html.sh`
- `bin/md2html.cfg`
and added:
- `next/submit.html`
- `next/submit.md`
Perform `make www` and `make gen_status` to perform the above and test under macOS.
TODO: Add images about the mailing list to `next/register.md`. See the line:
```
XXX - **put images and other details about joining the mailing list here** - XXX
```
Added a new `next/register.html` that is required by the mailing list server.
The `next/register.md` still contains a big **XXX - put more data here - XXX**
as a placeholder for information about the mailing list registration process.
Improved the status text for `faq.html`, `next/index.html` and `status.html`
via `faq.md`, `next/README.md` and `status.md`. We also removed the
excessive links to IOCCC and instead use the term "contest" where applicable.
IMPORTANT CHANGE: Registration be available when the contest is both pending and open.
We made a number of changes to `faq.md`, `next/README.md` in an attempt to
reflect the above.
Changed `bin/gen-status.sh` VERSION from "1.7 2024-09-23"
to "1.8 2024-11-23".
Changed `bin/gen-top-html.sh` VERSION from "1.4.9 2024-08-11"
to "1.4.10 2024-11-23".
Perform `make www` and `make gen_status` to perform the above and test under macOS.
TODO: Change **XXX - put more data here - XXX** in `next/register.md` for information
about how to join the mailing list.
