Fix Zotero links to "pub-pdfs" URLs #1874

Open hjellinek opened 2 weeks ago

hjellinek commented 2 weeks ago

We need to correct all Zotero links to interlisp.org URLs containing "pub-pdfs" so we can delete that pub-pdfs directory.

This is a placeholder ticket - @masinter to fill in.

masinter commented 2 weeks ago

over time, we have moved files around that are referred to in the bibliography. These files appear in the bibliography with URLs like

https://github.com/Interlisp/pub-pdfs/blob/gh-pages/test/test-env-inspector-hand-inspect-allrec.PDF

We want the "bibliography" to contain permanent records of historical documentation. The files in github and google drive are not "permanent". IN fact, I'd like to delete the old repositories. But I think we need to review the URLs and the cdriteria for picking a "permanent" location.

I think we agreed to this approach:

  1. (Now) Make sure all pub-pdfs documents reside in Zotero.
  2. (Much later) We will figure out how to serve all the documents in the bibliography to the public, via a proxy or other means.

@masinter, is this accurate?

We discussed this at the 11/4/24 meeting. There is an assumption that the Zotero database is (relatively) permanent, although it depends on our $20/month payment. I haven't surveyed the current Zotero database for "bad" URLs, but those with 'github' URLs that point to pub-pdf are probably only one part of the problem. The "files.interlisp.org" URLs would be better. Especially if we can get the HCFILES to also include a step of combining documents together into a single PDF (for multi-chapter TEdit documents where the sources are split into chapters).

There are also other problems to solve:

Could interlisp.org URL redirects work as DOIs?

Catillamen commented 2 weeks ago

Started grabbing the PDFs and attaching them, will finish the rest tomorrow.

Any idea how we might get at those that land on 404s? This one and this one are the two 404s I've bumped into so far.

pamoroso commented 2 weeks ago

If the files were originally in the test repo they're both missing there too. But I can't find anything relevant in the commit logs.

@Catillamen mentioned elsewhere that the missing documents had these titles:
