Description
[jira2trac import : issue created on April 3, 2007 4:11:17 AM CEST http://issues.cocoondev.org/browse/DSY-439 ]
Currently when a variant (connected to the current site) is not found a list is produced of all variants that _are_ available for the document.
As seen on our own documentation-wiki this list can get very long:
http://cocoondev.org/daisy/13-cd.html
Since the list is actually a result of the two dimensions in the variant-space (branch and language) these variants could also be presented in a tabular format (which would help readability IMHO)
+------------------------+-------+------+
| daisydocs-1_2 | en | |
| daisydocs-1_3 | en | |
| daisydocs-1_4 | en | |
| daisydocs-1_5 | en | de |
| daisydocs-2_0 | en | de |
+------------------------+-------+------+
In the same area it would be nice if this overview page could also be actively linked to, rather then be the result of an error-situation (variant not found)
- the 'variants' menu could have a 'overview' submenu that shows it
even:
* the daisy:... url could have a special recognised value '*' for branchId, languageId to hint to this
* the wiki and/or repo URLs could maybe use the same values for the request-paramaters?

decent intro on muenchian grouping is at http://www.jenitennison.com/xslt/grouping/muenchian.html

The place of action is alternative_variants.xsl
Probably grouping methods such as the Muenchian method might come in handy.
