companies.html: verify that list is up-to-date about v2.ocaml.org HOT 33 CLOSED

I am contacting by email companies which have a website where it is not clear whether they use OCaml or not.

Concerning finding new companies, I suggest to send a message to the Caml-list asking for employees in companies using OCaml (not already in the list of known companies) to get their company's name in the list. What do you think ?

Good idea. You may want to upload your changes to
http://ocamlweb.forge.ocamlcore.org/www/ and refer to that site on
the list (as a temporary location).

Maybe, at the end of your mail, you can welcome other (potential)
contributors... ;)

Yes, I could do that ! Is there a script to upload the changes on ocamlcore ? If not, how do I do that ?
I was more thinking about giving a simple list of already known companies (without all the detailed explanations).

make publish

This would be OK too. But maybe some companies will want to change
their description, it is also a good opportunity to ask them.

I also think it would be okay to polish up this page as best as possible
right now without contacting any companies, and defer contacting companies
till the site is live. It might be less confusing, and people will be more
inclined to take the request seriously if the page you refer to is a
published one.

'make publish' doesn't work for me, I get some "Permission denied (publickey)"...
Do I have to copy my ssh key somewhere on ocamlcore ? I already have done it before.

I get the same error.

You have to go to "My account", bottom of the page, "SSH Shared
Authorized Keys" and upload your public key.

from v2.ocaml.org.

My public key is already there since a long time now. It still doesn't work...

from v2.ocaml.org.

In the past, this update has taken over an hour. Maybe needs sometime still.

No. I get the same error.

Esther: note thta I modified the page to include a TOC.

from v2.ocaml.org.

A JaneStreet employee asked me a relevant question.
Why do we sort the companies by country ?

When I created the page, I followed the former COCAN page display, but we could also sort companies alphabetically. It would solve the problem of companies having offices in different countries, like JaneStreet.

What do you think ?

from v2.ocaml.org.

Why do we sort the companies by country ?

I was going to bring this up at some point... I actually don't like it.
Sorting alphabetically would be good, but that is also very stagnant and
possibly the companies on the top of the page won't be the best examples,
but they'll be the most prominently displayed. So then I thought, maybe
randomize the order of the list every time you refresh the page, but that
would be too much change. It would be frustrating to have the page look
completely different every time.

So finally, my recommendation is: list the companies alphabetically, but
randomly select one to be listed at the very top, i.e. to showcase a
different company each time you visit the page. (I guess this would require
some javascript.)

Knowing the location is useful, and I wouldn't delete the information
completely, but just display it less promptly after each company's name.

That will probably require to duplicate the information (once in HTML,
once inside the JS) if we want the page the show even with JS
disabled.

Maybe I can try to parse the page to get the list of companies and
generate some JS. For that we need to agree on a way to delimit
companies, e.g.

Fine with me.

In this case, it may be even better that the JS processes the page itself.

can weberizer do that statically ? ie. we give it a well-formated list of companies, and it output the different HTML (and optionally the world map) ?

I was thinking JS code that traverses the DOM to find all

Weberizer could do it, but then it is not really dynamic as you only get a
new company showcased each time we compile the site, not each time you
refresh the page.

Well I meant to generate the data used by JS to display the random showcased companies. But I scanning the DIVs will be good enough :-)

We have to check that the CSS code I use for the presentation of companies is OK with IE. If not, we have to add the CSS "content" directly to the HTML.

from v2.ocaml.org.

Some minimal JS added.

Disclaimer added in commit 94770b0.

Argh. Again, does not seem to appear in https://github.com/agarwal/ocamlweb/commits/master

I have re-added the change 8735bfc

from v2.ocaml.org.

The original commit is there now. This is quite strange. I've emailed
github support about the other missing commit, which is still missing.

Just tested it on IE. Seems ok.

Is there still someting to do on this issue?

from v2.ocaml.org.

The page looks okay to me now. I'm assuming Esther has added all the
information she gathered for this by now. There was still the idea of
generating a world map. I'll create a separate Issue for that and label it
as a feature request.
