"Unhide" translation website

[humdinger]

Currently the ​translation website can only be entered when registering and logging in. It's be nice for everybody to just use all of it read-only.

• people can check it all out and practice before commiting themselves.
• people can read and critique stuff before the pages are committed to the repo.

You can already read/critique stuff that's been "exported" (through the Export setup in "administrative"), c.f.e. ​https://i18n.haiku-os.org/userguide/export/docs/userguide/en/contents.html

I don't think there's a good way to make the other parts opened up but still read-only, though. If there's really a demand for it, I could possibly look into it...

OK, that'll be good enough for lectoring, I'd say. But that'll only show the "exported" pages, not the newly edited/created ones. That means I have to do an "Export" first, right? Which also means that we shouldn't make that Export to automatically push into the repo. Or have a "Generate export" button and one "Push to repo" or something, if we ever get/want that functionality.

There's no easy way to get at that URL. Can we display ​https://i18n.haiku-os.org/userguide/export/docs/userguide/en/contents.html on the ​https://i18n.haiku-os.org/userguide fromt page below the login? Then we could browse to a specific page and copy&paste its URL to someone for proof-reading.

AFAICT, Export doesn't push to the repo, and it never did do that. I think there was a cronjob which was supposed to do that. So you can export whenever and however often you want.

I added a link to the login page as you requested.
