- New Press & media page in all three languages: press-enquiries contact,
a 6-way logo download grid (EN/SI/MK x colour/white), an "MSOS at a glance"
fact sheet (full legal name + preferred name), and a grouped coverage list
(media, universities & institutions, official records, reference, government)
with 29 verified third-party links, each described in EN/MK/SL.
- Styling in css/pages/_press.css (imported by main.css), on the site's tokens.
- Footer: added a "Press & media" link to the Organisation column on every page
(all languages, relative paths correct for each page depth).
- SEO/sitemap refreshed so the new pages carry NGO schema + hreflang.
MK/SI copy is AI-drafted and pending a native proofread.

Generative Engine Optimization pass so AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Gemini,
Perplexity, AI Overviews) can confidently identify and cite MSOS.
Schema (tools/seo_inject.py, propagated to all 231 pages):
- FAQPage JSON-LD parsed from the /faq/ Q&A blocks (33 Q&A x EN/MK/SI)
- Organization upgraded to NGO with entity-disambiguation fields:
alternateName (all spellings), description, areaServed Slovenia,
knowsLanguage, and foundingDate 2023-03-05
- Event JSON-LD on all 9 /projects/ recap pages (date + real location)
Autonomous for future content (no code edits to add a project):
- Event/Article dates auto-read from the English page's publish date;
event city auto-detected from the body (Slovenian-city whitelist).
ARTICLE_DATES/PROJECT_LOCATIONS are now optional overrides only.
(Auto-detect corrected Paint & Wine to Nova Gorica.)
- build_listings.py: auto-date fallback so undated new content still lists
- pre-commit hook now runs seo_inject.py --all --sitemap first, then
listings/botlinks, and re-stages changed pages (idempotent)
Docs: docs/geo-offsite-worklist.md - copy-paste-ready off-site plan
(Wikidata, Wikipedia fixes, directories, Google Business, AI-visibility tests).

About Us:
- Replace the appreciation photo with an Apple-style scrolling marquee that
focal-zooms the centred photo (main.js + _about.css); heading now sits above
the carousel; remove the "Have any questions?" FAQ CTA (EN/MK/SI).
Landing hero:
- Turn the flat blue overlay into a Proxify-style radial vignette (light centre
over the CTA, dark edges) and raise the "Become a member" button.
Filter bar (Events & Projects / Blog / News, EN/MK/SI):
- Add a shared Proxify-style rounded pill bar with a trailing search icon that
swaps to a search field and opens a results dropdown (thumbnail + category +
title). New css/pages/_filterbar.css + filter-search.js, layered on top of the
existing filter/pagination JS. Blog category icons preserved.
- Balance the News filter bar spacing between the header and the cards.
Student Welcome Guide:
- Widen the intro paragraphs, constrain the full-bleed disclaimer to a normal
centred width, and add space before the route configurator.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Rework the About Us hero so the eyebrow, title and description are overlaid on
the auto-rotating team images (centred, white, text-shadowed) exactly like the
landing hero, instead of sitting in a separate white band above them. Remove the
old page-header band and move its text into the hero. All three languages.
- Rename the "Who We Are" menu item from "Our team" to "About Us"
(MK "За нас", SI "O nas") across all pages; footer "About us" link unchanged.

Previously /llms.txt and /links-for-bots/ existed but were not linked anywhere,
so users/bots couldn't find them. Following Proxify's pattern, add a "For bots"
footer column (all 225 pages, EN/MK/SI) linking to category link lists and an
AI summary page.
build_botlinks.py now also generates:
/links-for-bots/blog|guide|projects/ per-section link lists (EN/MK/SI)
/links-for-bots/about-msos/ "Hey AI, learn about us" summary
/links-for-bots/ hub + /llms.txt

#9.2 Full-width auto-rotating team hero (crossfade every 4.5s, transparent blue
overlay) directly under the About Us title — 11 landscape photos supplied by MSOS.
#9.4 "Our members & friends" appreciation section after Mission & Vision: a
contained photo carousel + name chips. Photos and names are PLACEHOLDERS
(names in "First L." format) pending the full members list.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Footer disclaimer on every page (informative-only, verify with official sources)
- "Good to know" callout across all Student Welcome Guide pages, pointing to
the "Was this page helpful?" box for reporting errors
- "Website content & liability" disclaimer card on the Official information page
All three languages (EN/MK/SI).

A privacy-friendly help widget that answers visitor questions from the
site's own content and links to the full page — runs 100% in the browser,
no API, no server, no per-token cost.
- tools/build_search_index.py: parses every EN/MK/SI page into ~720
heading-level chunks per language -> assistant/index-<lang>.json
(lazy-loaded only when the chat is opened; gzips to ~80 KB).
- assistant.js: dependency-free BM25 search + multilingual stopword
filtering + a curated short-answer layer for common questions, plus an
accessible chat widget (role=dialog, keyboard, aria). CSP-safe (self only).
- assistant.css: scoped .msa-* styles in the site's teal palette;
responsive (full-screen panel on mobile).
- Injected on 208 pages (blog WIP excluded; picks it up when that lands).
Verified in a headless browser across EN/MK/SI: curated answers, search
fallback with correct ranking (rare terms win), correct deep links,
Cyrillic + Slovene diacritics, and zero console errors. Curated MK/SI
answers are machine-drafted — proofread before launch.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Site-wide health pass (excludes in-progress blog work). Verified with a
local server + headless browser: Timeline, homepage and gallery pages load
with zero console errors and no layout distortion.
Render bugs
- Timeline page (en/mk/si): fix ../../../ paths that overshot the site root,
so the main stylesheet and hero image load again.
- Meet Student Slovenia 2023 (en/mk/si): remove a <figure> referencing
event3-photo-11.png, an image that was never uploaded (broken image).
Performance
- Add intrinsic width/height to 1039 raster <img> tags to prevent layout
shift (CLS); 450 SVGs correctly skipped. Add a global
`img { max-width:100%; height:auto }` safety net so aspect ratio is
preserved and images never overflow.
- Preload the homepage hero (LCP) image on en/mk/si.
- Load Font Awesome non-blocking (media=print/onload swap) with a <noscript>
fallback, on 225 pages.
Accessibility
- Add aria-label to 57 unlabeled newsletter email inputs.
- Add an sr-only <h1> to the three "My Route" pages (had no h1).
- Add an .sr-only utility class.
SEO
- Add meta descriptions to legal/msos-hub/support pages (en/mk/si).
Note: MK/SI meta descriptions are machine-drafted and should be proofread
by a native speaker before considering them final.

Proactive security & health pass. No live/exploitable vulnerabilities were
found; these changes remove information-disclosure surfaces and add
standard hardening.
- Remove publicly-downloadable 1.1 MB full source dump (code_export.txt)
and stray empty l.php; add code_export.txt to .gitignore.
- Exclude dev files/folders (*.sh, *.py, docs/, templates/, tools/,
README.md) from the rsync deploy so they never reach the live server.
- .htaccess: add X-Frame-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy,
and a report-only Content-Security-Policy; add defense-in-depth deny
block for dev/VCS files (robots.txt & sitemap.xml left served).
- .htaccess: fix root redirect to canonical msosorg.com + /en/.
- Swap 4 project-page YouTube embeds to youtube-nocookie.com so no
Google cookies are set before consent (GDPR).
- Add rel="noopener" to 30 team social links on the About Us pages.
- Harden esc() in my-route.js to also escape single quotes.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- New multilingual Gallery page (en/mk/si) with 9 event albums and a
keyboard-accessible lightbox (prev/next scoped per album)
- Reuses existing event photos; links each album to its event post
- New css/pages/_gallery.css + setupGallery() lightbox in main.js
- "Gallery" link added to the "What We Do" nav (desktop + mobile) site-wide
- Gallery URLs added to sitemap.xml with hreflang
- Landing "Every Student Has a Story": removed backdrop blur on the video
thumbnail, kept the bluish gradient tint
Note: images/original/ (458 MB of raw source photos, gitignored + unused by
the site) moved out of the working tree to reclaim disk.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
MSOS Hub page:
- "What you can do here": Porsche-style vertical image cards in a
continuous auto-scrolling marquee with edge fades (real photos placeholders)
- "A glimpse of the space": full-bleed band of 4 connected photos
- "A space we built together": full-bleed image banner with blue gradient overlay
- "Made possible by": partner logo tiles (Cultural Association + Ministry);
processed Ministry + Cultural Association logos from source art
- Copy/spacing polish; removed em-dashes; larger section spacing; deeper
final-CTA gradient so it no longer blends into the footer
Branding / partners:
- Per-language MSOS logos (SVG) in header + footer across all pages
- Partner carousel: added Ministry (wide variant), Cultural Association,
Embassy of North Macedonia, and Spletni Mojster (width-capped); de-duplicated
logos within each marquee group so new logos appear sooner
Footer:
- Build credit line (Spletni Mojster + Kristijan), clean centered text
- Synced MK/SI footers to EN (added missing About us + Timeline links)
Landing page:
- FAQ short CTA already avatar design (FAQ page kept its Email/Viber block)
- Swapped blurry stock video thumbnail for the real team photo
- Removed the intentional hero-background blur
Navigation:
- Mobile menu: use 100dvh so the language selector is reachable with submenus open
- Desktop: dropdown parents no longer navigate to dead "/#" links
Language suggestion banner:
- Dismissible, browser-language based banner suggesting the matching locale;
remembers choice in localStorage and waits for the cookie-consent choice
to avoid overlapping the consent card
Removed stale *.html.bak backup files.

New legal/registration reference page at /{lang}/legal/ with the official
details: legal name, registered office, registration number (4128133000),
tax number (44932448), VAT status, SKIS activity, registration date, bank
(NLB d.d.), IBAN SI56 0284 3026 6115 703, SWIFT LJBASI2X, representative,
and contact. New css/pages/_legal.css. Linked as "Official information" in
the footer legal bar on all pages.
Also fills the Support page's bank-transfer card with the same real IBAN/
bank/SWIFT (placeholders removed). SEO block + hreflang + sitemap (210
pages) regenerated.
MK/SI labels AI-drafted -> native review. SWIFT LJBASI2X is inferred from
the IBAN bank code (02 = NLB) -> please double-check.

A promo page for the MSOS Hub — a renovated community/event space in
Ljubljana for gatherings up to 50 people. Sections: hero with quick facts,
the funding/partner story (Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade of North
Macedonia, Municipality of Ljubljana, Macedonian Cultural Association
"Macedonia"), what you can do here, what's inside (amenities), an image
placeholder gallery (photos pending — captioned), "made possible by", and a
booking CTA (mailto info@msosorg.com). New css/pages/_hub.css.
'MSOS Hub' added to the Who We Are dropdown (desktop + mobile) on all pages.
SEO block + hreflang + sitemap (207 pages) regenerated.
MK/SI translations are AI-drafted -> native review. Real photos to replace
the captioned placeholders when available.

New donation/partnership landing page telling the MSOS story of being
community-built: hero, "built by the community" narrative, four ways to
support (partner/sponsor, donate, offer skills/space, spread the word),
"where your support goes" impact, a bank-transfer card (placeholder IBAN/
bank/SWIFT for the org to fill in), a partners thank-you marquee, and a
contact CTA (mailto info@msosorg.com). New css/pages/_support.css.
The header "Support MSOS" button (previously a dead <button>) now links to
/{lang}/support/ on all pages. SEO block + hreflang + sitemap regenerated.
MK/SI translations are AI-drafted -> native review. Bank details are
placeholders pending real IBAN/SWIFT.

- Remove the duplicate Privacy/Cookie links from the footer Organisation
column; keep them (plus Manage cookies) in the bottom legal bar
- Show both info@msosorg.com and info.msosorg@gmail.com in the privacy +
cookie policy prose (en/mk/si)
- Fix the privacy policy's now-false "no tracking cookies" sentence to
reflect consent-based Google Analytics (en/mk/si)
MK/SI policy text is AI-drafted -> native review.

Adds a per-language "Manage cookies" link to the footer legal bar on all
201 pages, wired to window.msosOpenConsent() so visitors can change or
withdraw their choice at any time (GDPR requirement). Verified: decline ->
re-open via link -> accept flips analytics consent to granted.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- consent.js: self-contained, non-blocking bottom banner in EN/MK/SI,
remembers the choice in localStorage, links to the per-language cookie
policy. Accept -> gtag consent 'update' granted; Decline stays denied.
- Head GA snippet restores a returning visitor's prior "granted" choice
before the first hit; loads /consent.js on every page.
- Re-openable via window.msosOpenConsent() for a "manage cookies" link.
Verified in-browser: shows for new visitors, Accept grants + remembers,
reload keeps consent without re-prompting, Slovene text + /si/ policy link.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- gtag.js injected on all 201 pages via tools/seo_inject.py + on 404.html
- Consent Mode v2 defaults all storage to 'denied' (EEA-safe: tag loads,
no tracking cookies until a consent banner grants analytics_storage)
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Add branded 1200x630 og-default.jpg; article pages use their hero as
og:image, others use the default
- Wire the existing (previously unlinked) favicon set into every page
- Add branded 404.html with root-absolute paths + noindex
- Emit Article + localized BreadcrumbList JSON-LD on all article pages
- Convert 74 heavy served photos to WebP (28MB -> 8.5MB, -70%), rewrite
references, add loading=lazy/decoding=async to below-fold images and
fetchpriority=high to heroes (protect LCP)
- Stop tracking images/original/ (458MB of unused source masters; kept on
disk, gitignored) and ignore .playwright-mcp/
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
SEO (all 201 pages, en/mk/si):
- Inject canonical, hreflang (en/mk/sl + x-default), Open Graph, Twitter
cards and Organization JSON-LD via idempotent SEO:START/END block
- Generate multilingual sitemap.xml (xhtml:link alternates) + robots.txt
- Curated meta descriptions for lead-less pages (home, become-a-member,
faq, news hub, my-route); every page now has a description
- Absolute URLs target final domain msosorg.com, not the temp host
- Add reusable tools/seo_inject.py (+ README)
Content fixes:
- Translate about-us and timeline-and-milestones into MK + SI, wire up
their pages, and repair the previously-dead "Who We Are" nav links
across all mk/si pages
- Remove duplicate en/projects/makedonska-studentska-vecer-vo-ljubljana
(unreferenced; already covered by macedonian-student-night-in-ljubljana)
Locale correctness:
- Normalise Slovene pages to <html lang="sl"> (correct ISO 639-1)
- Map sl->si in main.js so the language-switcher highlight and newsletter
i18n keep working on Slovene pages (data-lang="si" still maps to /si/)
MK/SI translations and descriptions are AI-drafted; flag for native review.
