The project needs some of the improvements to the adaptive db added after this project started, such as the read-only interface, so I've copied the current data over into the dev db, checked out the latest trunk from svn, and hacked away till everything worked. The process found some oddities in the adaptive db code, which I've copied back to the repo. I'm now in a position to add and alter some fields that need to be changed, doing that only in dev first.

Update:(for last 2 weeks)
Have organized and now posted live the May-August 2018 computer facility schedule. High demand for this term for space.
61 of the original 2014 sample of 100 poems were marked up in the original repo, albeit a bit shakily; I've converted those, added them to the new repo, and fixed all the validation problems.

The LEMDO repository is now restructured and renamed. Save for a likely few errant strings, everything should now be "emd"(early modern drama) or "lemdo". It came together quite quickly and enabled me to fix some things in the code. We'll still have to fix the conversion code (esp. in regards to paths), but that should be fairly straightforward.
Also started to work on the oXygen/ANT utilities for editors. oXygen editor variables (even the password ones) are not right; they are passed as parameters to the ant build, which show up in the ANT text stream at the bottom of oXygen, which is no good. The ant input element doesn't work either, since there is no way for ANT to work through the oXygen IDE (as far as I can tell, at least). After some research, I found an okay solutioon using javascript; although I struggled with the whole Nashorn/Rhino thing. I did this
load("nashorn:mozilla_compat.js");
which I got from stackexchange here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14835882/apache-ant-gets-frozen-while-running-this-script and here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22503100/java-8-javascript-engine-backwards-compatibility. I'll need to consult with others though, since I'm not all too familiar with this stuff. It works, however, and seems secure. Lots more work to do.
Working with KT and JJ for MoEML training prep; got a nice new "simple" template set up, which should work well. Was able to fix a few things in the schematron as well.
This morning we had the intro session for the RAs, and they'll be starting tomorrow. I've now begun work on the diagnostics which will track our progress, as well as adding ordinary backups to the build file; the build file now has two combining targets, the do_all, which is what will happen on Jenkins, and the admin, which is what I'll run locally, to transform or generate things that need to be committed to svn or stored locally. I've also laboriously added the English 500 encoded XML poems to the repo organized by journal and year (it's clearer than using the variable vol/issue kind of organization), and I'll be doing the same with the original hundred poems we did a few years ago. Steady progress.

Attempting to work with author mode, CSS, and ANT. It only works if the ANT file isn't prefixed by "build" (i.e. not associated with ANT in oXygen) and you have to work around the lack of flexibility in the ANT's XML. You can more or less force it by putting an @el='blah' on the description element; you don't get hierarchical XML, but it might be enough for a simple ANT file with some documentation.
Lunch meeting for Endings.
Put in ticket for @where in the TEI and debated on that thread
