Hello admin,
I have in the past struggled with trying to download Code-Aster documents since there are so many (980+) of them and there is no automated way of obtaining them, nor are they available in an archive or zipped format from the website. Now I have managed to download ALL the PDF docs on my computer using an automated script.
My question to the admin is:
1. Does this website have the space & bandwidth to host these French PDF files and mirror them? Optionally, accessible via ftp?
2. I used using an automated script for downloading. Would anybody be interested in this script, which I can release to the public, if it is okay with the folks at Code-Aster. The reason I would like them to say it is okay is, because my script uses a whole lot of \"wget\" calls and can easily flood a server if many users decide to use the script.
3. I have also automated the conversion (using pdf2html) of the downloaded PDF files into HTML docs, which if hosted here (or somewhere else) can enable users to get a CRUDE version in English via Google translate or similar websites. Not pretty, but is better than next to nothing in English Docs. Would you like to host these French HTML files?
4. I am translating some of these English HTML files into better English versions, manually. Anybody willing to assist?
5. Any attempts or help in getting & hosting the original MS-Word documents (that the PDF files were created from) on this website of course will be immensely helpful in the translation process.
Please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks
JMB
PS: Of course ANYBODY who has access to a language translation software (like SYSTRAN Professional Standard Edition or equivalent software), please speak up and offer your help!
