FAQ question "wann fängt die schule wieder an 2020"

[wintermeyer]

Right now the question "when does school start again in 2020" is answered on the root page's FAQ. But it is done manually which I consider a bug.

Thoughts

A human will always find a better way of answering this question. We have to consider all 16 federal states which all have different vacations and public holidays.

Here is a list of questions we have to answer in the FAQ. The answer can be the same. I'll optimize that later:

• Wann fängt die Schule wieder an 2020?
• Wann fängt die Schule wieder an?
• Schulbeginn
• Wann ist der erste Schultag?

Possible solution

We group the school start dates.

• Best case: All the federal states have the same school start day. Than the answer would be "Die Schule fängt in allen Bundesländern am dd.mm.yyyy wieder an."
• A majority of federal states starts at the same day. Than the answer would be "Die Schule fängt in den meisten Bundesländern am dd.mm.yyyy wieder an. Die folgenden Bundesländer weichen davon ab: x (dd.mm.yyyy), y (dd.mm.yyyy), z (dd.mm.yyyy), ..."
• There is no clear picture. Than the answer should be "Die Schule fängt in den Bundesländern an unterschiedlichen Daten an: x (dd.mm.yyyy), y (dd.mm.yyyy), z (dd.mm.yyyy), ..."

Probably the root page is the wrong location for this information. The new https://github.com/mehr-schulferien-de/www.mehr-schulferien.de/issues/393 is a better location for it. But than it should make sure that the answer is only for that country.
