One more PDSA application, one more DH 2012 submission dealt with.

Here is our plan for flagging entries for the Elders to review:

-Keep existing RevisionDesc status values. As ECH reviews a file to take it from “edited” to “complete”, she will tag the relevant entries with n=”referToElders”.

-Within each <entry n=”referToElders”>, we will include a <note type=”referToElders”>, in which we will put our questions for the Elders. This will display on the database website like any other [Note:].

-MDH will create a page on the dictionary site with a list of all the entries with <entry n=”referToElders”> We still want to include these entries on the Finished Entries page, and the All Entries page. They will still have their green, amber, or red status "traffic light", but will also be flagged with a question mark.

-Language apprentices will work with the Elders to review the flagged entries. They could read the questions out to the Elders, and/or print a screen of entries with Notes.

-The changes arising out of the Elders' feedback should be input immediately. The apprentices could either update the entries directly into the xml files themselves, or send their changes / additions to ECH or SMK to enter. ECH would give the entry a final check and remove the n=”referToElders” attribute. Two Elders will each be working 10 hours a week when we get the grant, on other language documentation work as well as reviewing the dictionary entries.

-Both @resp and <bibl> will be used as appropriate to mark up contributions from the Elders.

-If the Elders want to add new material, beyond commenting on Kinkade's data, this would have to go into a new xml file, not be added to existing files. A subsequent stage of the project could expand the database beyond Kinkade's data.

On late duty.

KSW pointed out that we had a little press coverage in the TC on Nov 20, so I've added that to the relevant page on the site. I've also added a couple of the new folks working on the site to the Credits page.

The previous setup under which there was a multi-table editing page and a single-table search page has now been superceded by a unified interface, in which all tables are accessible, but their tabs display search pages. In the process of doing this update, which is an essential precursor to other upcoming enhancements, I've also fixed a couple of display issues with Chrome and Opera.

This change was developed on the Manifestoes DEV site and has been propagated to the LIVE site; if no bugs appear in usage, I'll also push it out to all the other current working sites (except for the original AdaptiveDB site).

Two more PDSA and one more DH abstract done.

Searching with find
Example: find all jpg images from this location and copy them to another location - and don't change permissions or timestamps.
find . -iname '*.jpg' -exec cp -p {} ~/Desktop/test/ \;
and
find . -iname '*.php' -exec chmod 700 {} \;
which will find all php files from here and change permissions on them to conform to the whole suPHP thing (only user-readable php files etc.)

Another one:
find . -type l -name '*.png' -exec mv {} ~/Desktop/crap/ \;
will find all of the symlink-ed png files and move them somewhere

One that matches all text files on the entire system (that is, searching recursively from /) over 10KB, owned by paul, that are not readable by other users, and then use chmod to enable reading, like this:

find / -name "*.txt" -size +10k -user paul -not -perm +o=r -exec chmod o+r {} \;

Find all recently modified files:
find . -type f -printf '%TY-%Tm-%Td %TT %p\n' | sort

NOTE: When typing -exec parameters, be sure to include a space before \;. Otherwise, you might see an error such as missing argument to ´-exec'.

Three more to go.

Leaving early.

As part of work assigned from the Council meeting, I created three examples of <label> elements used for signalling topic transition and sent them to LB. I've also written one JQuiz exercise for the TEI By Example project, the first of many, I hope.
