Wednesday 2021-06-02

0.25 hours: Update Jenkins servers.
2.75 hours: Keats: Discovered, debugged and worked around an SVG problem in Safari on Mac; finished the last few components of the diagram; reworked the layout a little to condense it; added links to newly-added bios; added highlighting functionality based on the key.
1.00 hours: MoEML: Project meeting, discussion of text-analysis output ticket, preparation for geo-a-thon on Friday.

Thursday 2021-06-03

0.25 hours: Update Jenkins servers.
0.25 hours: More DVPP timesheets.
1.75 hours: Scancan: Wrestling with fonts for runic transliterations. The suggested font is not Unicode and would be impractical, and even that font does not contain all the required characters. Got most of the way there with Aboriginal Sans, but still one mathematical symbol is causing problems. Huge time-sink for obscure once-in-a-decade requirement.
0.50 hours: DVPP: Rebuild stats; some work on generating canonical citation in dialog with AC, currently waiting on instructions for handling edge case person records.
2.00 hours: Endings: Draft of another short section of the paper, with associated reading/research.
0.25 hours: BreezeMap: Add source map generation for SCSS build.
2.25 hours: Keats: Debugged and fixed a problem with menu highlighting in map pages; rewrote the map preprocessing so that it doesn't cause svn conflicts by modifying tracked files; fixed favicon linking, which was absolute rather than relative; laid out options for diagram page layout to KB; incorporated CSS source map from BreezeMap, so there are now no attempts to retrieve anything that fail.

Total: 7.25 hours

1.00 hours: TEI: With SB, completed work on a ticket on the tag element, and further discussed XSLT course.

2.00 hours: Keats: Updates per KB to diagram layout; XSLT to enable rapid transformations of the diagram; fairly radical experimental changes to the layout of non-timeline pages, implemented initially to enable optimal display of the diagram, but probably generally beneficial.
0.25 hours: Moses: Helping SK with some diagnostics XSLT.
0.50 hours: MoEML: Diagnosed a build-break. Cleaned up old Schematron for locations, and added a couple of enhancements.
