Google indexing and bookmarks on Seaside sites

I'm developing a Seaside application for the Internet Ray Tracing
Competition web site.  By the nature of the site, the results of
previous rounds of the IRTC are effectively static while a few pages
change periodically as contests start and end.  Ideally, we would like
all of the site to be google-indexable and bookmarkable unless you are
logged in with a userid.

Now, I know how to make bookmarkable pages in Seaside using
initialRequest:. This technique, however, requires me to replace all
callback: calls with url: calls, generate appropriate URL's that can
recover their place, and add handling code in the initialRequest: method
for tons of different pages.  I fear that this technique will become
unmaintainable.  I also fear that we will lose some Seaside capability
by never creating a session and losing sessions if you navigate to a
bookmarkable page.

Does anyone have advice on how to do this?

BTW, you can preview the site at:
    http://newtest.irtc.org:7777/irtc  (this address will disappear in a
few weeks)

The original IRTC site is at:
    http://www.irtc.org  (in a few weeks, the new site will live here)

Thanks
David Buck

See the recent thread Re: Making '_k' and '_s' optional: A Seaside Heresy?
In the Seaside dev list, specifically Adrian Lienhard's reply about how
cmsbox handles this to get completely clean urls.  The approach works very
well.

I could not find this on nabble or on Dale's blog, do you have the link
handy?

Thanks - Sophie

Yes, but I did not see cmsbox or Adrian Lienhard in the comments, which
Ramon seemed to be particularly pointing out.

Ramon was referring to the discussion on the Seaside-dev mailing list:

Cheers,

Got it, thanks. I did not even know that a separate 'dev' list existed,
should have read Ramon's post more carefully :-(

I have to say I think that whole optional _s _k direction is really
exciting, even more so if it can be done largely transparent to the seaside
app-developer!
