Repairing language menu

Ideally, a new build based on this fixes the partially working language links in the top right.

Sister PR of opendatacity/stasi-vs-nsa#2

[MichaelKreil]

Unfortunately, my access to all my OpenDataCity projects was revoked by the new owner company "Datenfreunde".

[almereyda]

@mvtango is reported on https://github.com/orgs/opendatacity/people as a maintainer.

Would it maybe be possible to set up Teams in the organisation, which would help to provide selected access to external long-term maintainers which are not part of Datenfreunde, who don't need access to all repositories in the Open Data City organisation?

Maybe it would be possible to replace dynamic runtime components of the previous stack(s) into more or less self managed static assets? To second your hint, http://datenblumen.wired.de/ + http://www.opendatacity.de/ could indeed benefit a bit from some attention by https://datenfreunde.com/.

Also now that the Prism and Stasi-vs-NSA repositories are primarily hosted on GitHub Pages, it may even be a nice gesture to move them into CNAME subdomains of opendatacity.de hand have them age well within an enduring and no maintenance environment there.

@almereyda i would not hold my breath. those who retained the opendatacity trademark haven't used it in many years and didn't even renew the websites tls certificate.

I see. It's just a pity to see this beautiful and important work decay. The fixes I propose show a path towards sustainable long-term availability, and most likely do not involve any further effort. Maybe at some point someone steps up and shows a heart for this inherited legacy.

Yet I won't hold my breath just yet, so thanks for the suggestion. Eventually such considerations should be included in the beginning of a given project already, and cannot be applied in hindsight, I don't know.

Is this the same Datenfreunde that were mentioned as 'the new owner company', if I chose to reach out with asking for a second opinion or a little help here?

The user profile of @mvtango does not give any direct hints about how to reach out, why I am asking.

If the maintainer finds this and would like to have a word in private, please feel free to reach out to me at https://degrowth.social/@yala via the federation.
