Regarding listing talks, workshops, posters, etc -- we could have a new item on the left called 'activities' in which we list each 'activity' briefly, and -- if it deserves more detail -- it is a link to a separate page? I believe gathering as much data as possible from the beginning will pay off. (For my doctoral training centre, we have a news/blog page where I try to list all we do; this pays off at reporting times when you wouldn't remember otherwise what you have done, and is also a good online representation of the activities: http://ngcm.soton.ac.uk/blog/)

I like the term "activities". The simplest is probably to use Jekyll's blog support (as we already do for our News section). Adding a new post is just adding a short file, so it's fine to create one even for just a brief link).
I'll try to add such a section sometime soon, unless someone beats me to it!

Hi @minrk! For our website and elsewhere in our infrastructure, it would be helpful to have the data from our proposal (deliverables, ...) as a yaml file. When you generated our github issues from this data, you must have written a parser for the "final.pdata" file, right? Where could I find it? Then I could just use it to get a yaml dump. Thanks in advance!
@defeo, @VivianePons, @kohlhase: I just pushed a script to convert the metadata from the proposal about wp's, tasks, deliverables into yaml, so that we could easily load it into Python/Jekyll/... for misc purposes.
- https://github.com/OpenDreamKit/OpenDreamKit/blob/master/Proposal/final.pdata.yaml
- https://github.com/OpenDreamKit/OpenDreamKit/blob/master/bin/pdata-latex-to-yaml So if we copy the output file into the website repo, we can now easily use it to generate pieces of the website. A first nice little utility would be to have taskref and delivref tags.
@kohlhase: you probably want to look over the changes I made to the proposal style file, as I made little changes to the pdata format for more consistency between tasks and deliverables + a bug fix.
Cheers
Are you sure the script is not buggy? I have a doubt about these lines https://github.com/OpenDreamKit/OpenDreamKit/blob/master/Proposal/final.pdata.yaml#L18-L29 and similar ones.
Yeah; if we actually need the information on those lines, the script will need to be made less stupid. In final.pdata, the label of a deliverable is of the form wp-label@deliv-label (same for tasks). I found it more convenient to split such labels in two chunks. And the splitting is a bit too agressive right now :-)
Many of the boxes have been answered by the new site.
In particular: there is a working ical link.
