MOL team keeping me busy, and then waiting for a TEI Documentation build to complete to see if a fix I'd committed had solved a PDF build problem (it had).

Another iteration of the Jenkins build has enabled us to eliminate dependence on MS TT Core Fonts, by using Libertine instead of Times New Roman; waiting for a Council verdict on the quality of the results, but if there's approval, that gets rid of the last remaining EULA in the build system.

Also working on a proposal for <listApp>, and debugging some missing character issues in the PDF build (I've found the problem, but I'm still waiting to see if my solution works or not).

Added a tweak to sort biblio entries in the main sources page by their text content. Also debugged a problem where a person who had no @type on their <persName> tag was not shown as having any mentions in articles; I should make @type required on <persName>.

Made various changes to the Stow ODD file and schema in response to the first proofing session by JJ and SM. This will continue to evolve. Also created a char definition for s with tilde above ("shillings") for SM to incorporate into the file.

Entered the following new annotated transcripts on Oxygen :
lsrq1, mixc1, mixh1, mixm1, prmf1, prmf2, prmf3, prmf4, prmq1, prmq3, prmq4, prmq5, prmq6, pscf1, secf1.
ES asked SA to upload these files on the FrancoToile21 server for later review.

Note: One video is still missing (i.e. prmf5.mov) - ES will prepare and enter a new annotated transcript when the video is provided.

ES wants to be able to include superscript elements in utterances. Decided to use the tei element hi with attribute rend="superscript" in the data files and in the xslt to transform that to an xhtml sup tag. The hi element is already allowed by the schema and I've added the transform rule to the transcript.xslt file.

JSR enquired about using an existing account on a server provided by a third party (don't know who) to host the Canadian Historical Association AGM 2013 site. Gave me access to the account, which was used to host the 2011 AGM and is clearly independent of the main CHA site. The AGM site has no apparent infrastructure for supporting submission and review of proposals, so if that's important, he's probably better off using the uvic conference site. Set up a meeting on Friday to go over it.
