I'd like to refresh the landing page a bit and am using this to test ideas.

A related issue is that it would be nice to have a quick way to build a dummy version of the Anthology without all the files, for convenience with testing ideas with the site itself. e.g., limit the build to papers from the current year only, or something of that sort, but I imagine this will break all sorts of things.

Build successful. Some useful links:

This preview will be removed when the branch is merged.

What is the rationale behind removing these entirely from the front page?

Just aesthetics, really. I could restore it if you like, but I would probably change them up.

Do you think people ever download those by clicking on the links? What if we replaced the button link target to one that points to the "citation files" section of the FAQ?

I would assume so, but the server logs should know best ;)

Maybe a small italics note “Looking for bib files? See this FAQ” or something could also work, if you don’t want the buttons.

I don't know why I'm sitting on this so long, but I want to document that the mobile page also needs a lot of work, as I discovered this week while browsing it without my computer.

I want to add to this PR:

  • Remove useless text and download buttons from mobile
  • Add a full-width search box visible (this is 99% of what I wanted to do)
  • Put decades in a kind of carousel
  • Allow venue rows to be filtered with a realtime search box

It would also be great to have a prominent link for "most recently-added venue" or something. At least, for major *ACL events, displaying that event link at the top during the week before and during that conference would be useful. We could actually do this automatically from the <event> date tags...

FWIW I'm still partial to using something like DataTables for that. Last time I played around with this must have been something like four years ago, though.
