Following Sarah's post, I've done the following:

• Added a language filter so you can view names only in English or Nxaʔamxcín. This is a crude regex, but it works because English names always begin with caps, and Nxaʔamxcín names never do.
• Turned off the traffic light display in the names page.
• Added more processing to the path, to handle rendering of e.g. choice elements inside names.
• Excluded lexical suffix entries.
• Elaborated the captions and links a bit.

Here are a few requests for the Names page on the website:

DONE -exclude Lexical Suffix entries

DONE -fix the display of sic/corr, so that only “Wenatchi” displays, not “WenatcheeWenatchi” (See for example the entry for “Sam George”.)

DONE -put flora (plants) and fauna (animals) in the link text at the top of the page

-separate out the sorting into Nx-Eng and Eng-Nx pages. Ideally, users should be able to view the complete list, or any of the six lists by name type, sorted either by Nxa'amxcin name or by English name. The present setup with Nx and Eng names mixed together in the Name column is somewhat confusing. Continue to sort the Nx-Eng lists based on name tags in prons. For the present, exclude name tags in orths when generating these lists. Sort the Eng-Nx lists based on name tags in defs.

PENDING ECH'S FURTHER DISCUSSION WITH CCT:

Please also generate a printable version of the six lists of names by type. These only need to be sorted alphabetically by Nxa'amxcin name - i.e. only include the name tags within prons when generating these lists. Ideally they would be spreadsheets with the following columns:

Name (pron:seg type= “p”)
Source (following bibl ... if the pron:seg type= “p” is NOT subtype=“i”)
Definition (all defs)
Pronunciation (pron:seg type= “n”)
Source (following bibl)
Word Parts (hyph)

Running very fast to stay in same place...

Did some tasks from yesterday and some new ones:

• Files that used <group> have now been converted to <div>s. (The only exception is stow_1633, which probably does need <group>.)
• XSLT rendering has been updated to handle this.
• Extra stray copies of METR1 have been identified in the db and removed. These were causing errors in the redesign pipeline.

I've implemented the advanced search as a separate page, and got it basically working, although some missing bits in the encoding mean that it's not finding everything it should (e.g. dates are missing @whens sometimes).

1. ES corrected location coordinates for cltf6, aacf3, fraf8
2. ES added transcripts (non annotated) for fraq 7, fraq8, fraq9

1309 page images for CO 60 Vol 13 (in three different sizes) have been added to the collection. These cover the British Columbia 1862: Despatches to London. These will now be linked into the transcription documents.

Work arising from the Providence meeting.

I have these tasks coming out of the team meeting today:

• DONE: Fix rendering of org popups.
• DONE: Add Schematron constraint for malformed Julian dates.
• DONE: Fix rendering of persNames with genName and roleName in them.
• DONE (for group elements): Make a list of files containing group elements, and other bad old code.
• DONE: Transform files with group elements into nested divs.
• Add an attribute value parameter to the CodeSharing interface (will have to be done after July, probably).
• Add handling for @style on list, along with documentation for it, change existing usage of list/@type to @style, then remove list/@type from schema.
• DONE: Look at forme works in SNOW1 and figure out why they're not rendering properly.
• Collapse the myth and fict personography types to a single type "lit". This will involve both data and rendering and must be done simultaneously.
• Add rendering for sp, speaker and stage for SNOW1.
• In redesign (with Pat): make page credits work like page TOC (pop-out rather than long list).

On late duty.
