Remove 'nested' accordion technique #3

It was not always so, but I'm against ajax animation for a list, than can fit in a page without it. It increases one click every time and not only that - I need to know where to click. What I say is there is no need to have "Boehtlingk Dictionaries", "Dictionnaires sanscrit-français Stchoupak, etc." (duplicated at Sanskrit-French Dictionaries, Stchoupak, etc.) categories. Occam's razor.

Boehtlingk Dictionaries • Boehtlingk + Schmidt Sanskrit-German Dictionary • Boehtlingk & Roth Sanskrit-German Dictionary

Dictionnaires sanscrit-français Stchoupak, etc. • Stchoupak semi-numérique • Stchoupak numérique éditions 2013 • Burnouf 2013 editions

Sanskrit-French Dictionaries, Stchoupak, etc. • Stchoupak partially digitized • Stchoupak digital editions 2013 • Burnouf 2013 editions

Stchoupak partially digitized can live inside the full digital edition, it's of almost no value after the full edition came to life. You do not show old Monier editions on the homepage, do you? But Monier is many times more popular.

  1. Regarding 'Stchoupak partially digitized', a link should remain on the home page - Since this link also appears under the 'Scanned editions', perhaps it need not be duplicated among the 'digital editions'
  2. Note also that the Stchoupak dictionaries appear twice, once with French titles, once with English. Odile Caujolle suggested this as being useful for native French speakers.
  3. Regarding the general question of whether the accordion technique should be discarded, I would have to see the alternative. I like the 'hiding' that this technique allows, but can understand there is some benefit to having all the options displayed at once. The summarization aspect of the accordion technique could also be achieved by having a 'sidebar'. Let's try a display without either accordion or sidebar, and see how it works. It can be installed as index-alt.html.
