Default collection

The starting point: five working routes with no subject in them, and the test of whether a section is genuinely shared.

The starting point. Five working routes with nothing subject-specific in them — no globe, no widgets, no content pretending to be yours. Copy the folder, rename it, change the six lists at the top of its build.py, and you have a collection before you have designed anything.

It is also the test. If a section works here — with no collection stylesheet at all — it is genuinely shared. If it only works once travel's CSS is loaded, it belongs to travel and the prefix was a lie.

The five routes, empty

RouteWhat is on it
Indexgroups, places, spots, a series card, everything
Groupone cut already made — an unordered set

Copying it

bash
cp -r collection/_default collection/podcast
python3 collection/podcast/build.py

five routes, immediately

Then change these, at the top of the new build.py: NAME, GROUPS, PLACES, SPOTS, FACETS, POSTS and SERIES. Nothing below that line refers to the subject.
