Description
Right now, our URLs for news items include the "categories" (which we're actually treating as unordered tags). Example, a URL with categories lomap
and release
gives:
https://openfree.energy/lomap/release/2022/03/15/lomap-conda-forge/
Since we don't have a defined ordering on these, this could just as easily have been release/lomap/2022/03/15/lomap-conda-forge/
. I think we should change this. Two ways to change (both about equally easy):
-
Distinguish between actual categories and tags. Each post must have 1 category. Possible categories include:
- releases
- hirings
- presentations
- science
- misc
We aren't locked into any set; we can always add more categories later as needed. This could be nice from a URL standpoint because we could have
openfree.energy/releases/
as an index with all releases, and then within itopenfree.energy/releases/2022/03/15/lomap-conda-forge/
. -
Completely remove these labels from the URL. In this case, I'd probably want to add
news/
as a level, and the URL would beopenfree.energy/news/2022/03/15/lomap-conda-forge/
Either solution should be easy to implement (probably took me longer to write this issue).
Note that changing the URLs will break any existing links to them... but I highly doubt we have many incoming links to our 2 little news items.
