Worked on Polygons all day 8am-3pm=7hours
April 24, 2015
Up very early for a TEI Council meeting at 6. Leaving a little early.
Set up a Mac Book Pro for an RA (users, passwords, Image Magick, jpeg-to-pdf app).
Updated tentative schedule.
Added new secondary to existing home list.
Edited social media information.
Advised IG of changes.
We've decided that while CC goes on editing the texts, I will:
- Write some pilot XSLT to generate key fragments (Ajax responses as mini files).
- Write basic XSLT to generate the main documents sans website chrome.
- Write basic CSS for document display.
- Create XSLT to generate website chrome, designed in advance for desktop and mobile.
- Get a Jenkins VM set up for HCMC project static-website builds, with Mariage as the pilot.
Then we'll go on to consider the issues of redesign and the static search engine problem.
Sorted out several outdated links; updated and published pages
Correct name of secondary; republished affected pages
Advised MH (Eng) test site now updated.
JT finished his code last night, and we looked it over this morning and discussed future plans for useful XSLT over the summer, including the possibility of writing an Oxygen ant task to import contributor work from docx and convert it to a base TEI file for correction and enhancement. This would cover lots of useful ground: ant, XSLT, ant scenarios in Oxygen, word-processor document formats, and lot of other meaty things.
Following a suggestion from LG, wrote an XSLT module to build a corpus for text-analysis purposes from the despatches correspondence. It has a few useful parameters, and will have more if it gets used and developed further.
