Got some sample transcription from KB, and did a test encoding, tweaking the XSLT and the schema too to get more worthwhile results.
Also fixed the problem with the generic search box on regular pages; it was missing some named hidden fields, so wasn't providing enough info to the search.xql file. I do need to make this a bit more robust, though; missing fields shouldn't break the results paging navigation as it does.
Sorted/donated to UVic Library miscellaneous HCMC language learning books. Retained/filed hard copy list of books in admin. records.
Created a script in svn/hcmc/exist which cleans the git tree completely, builds exist, signs the jars, creates a fairly minimal dist, and builds a test instance with one of our own xars, then starts it for testing. All that remains to be done is figure out how to change the jetty.xml file and any oother conf files to add the required placeholders.
Menus and headings now being included in output files, and site info files are now being generated. Also fixed some outdated info on the site, which is good. Need to post-process the menu to "press" appropriate button for certain pages.
Benefits 3rd tab needed editing as all links were pointing to current website and not Cascade pre-prod site.
Edited 3rd tab contents; links now point to specific content further down on same page; republished page.
Sent PGL site update email and request for photos.
Put together a plan to try to prune the git repo using bfg, including a doodle poll to schedule it so that I have two full days to get it done carefully. Also more work on the 20th parliament, schema rebuilds to incorporate new xml:ids, and some reworking of the output code to enable multilingual headings in XML files.
Copyedited the CfP and put it on the site. Also added a bunch of new code to the build process for the site to build HTML versions of pages and validate them; this requires PHP to build the pages then vnu.
Changed the diagnostics start date to get a better view of progress; had a meeting with DH and GL; fixed some bugs in language-switching in the website; implemented some new correction replacements for bad OCR artifacts when converting from HOCR to TEI. Also did a couple more personography entry merges.
Attended meeting 1:00-2:00 pm re CLE Signage Upgrade Proposal.
Relayed notes to SA.
I've fixed a wealth of weird biblStructs, replacing them with bibls, throughout the collection, and all documents are now being converted to XHTML. The next stage is to build a site around them.
