Had to move back to LibreOffice 3.6 because of a major bug in handling of custom animations in 4.0. My bits are now done, and ECH is finishing the last parts of hers.
February 25, 2013
DONE, 18Mar13.
I have put a list of feature structure questions for further consideration into the docs folder in the SVN respository. It's called feature_structure_questions_Jan2013.odt.
ECH's paper copy of these questions, with our notes on it, is in the blue folder in the top box of Lexware data!
February 22, 2013
DONE 2013-02-28.
Our new feature structures for names and loanwords are displaying on the website as NAME: TRUE and LOANWORD:TRUE.
Please hide the :TRUE part of these features from the website display.
Finally managed to get some data into LEXUS, and out in XML format -- it's pretty ugly, and seems to be in its own namespace, although it nods at LMF. Did more work on the presentation (new diagram). I think my bits are basically done.
February 21, 2013
Managed one more diagram today, along with some thinking and ideas for showing how ODDs work.
February 20, 2013
Creating photos, diagrams and screenshots, and putting the first half of the presentation together.
Just came across an example where:
<phr type="n">√ƛʼécʼ-p=ap Račəméntən</phr>
got autophonemicized to:
<phr type="p" subtype="i">√ƛʼícʼ-p=ap ʔḥacmíntn</phr>
The capital R was correctly changed to ḥ, but where did the glottal stop come from? Did the "insert glottal stop before a word-initial vowel" rule somehow apply between the removal of the R and the addition of the ḥ?
Hmmm.
There are 15 other instances of word initial ʔḥ generated from R in the data. I can just fix them with find-and-replace, but I'm curious about how they were generated.
DONE 2013-02-28.
Please adjust the display of the contributors' roles. Currently, "Fluent Speaker" and "Elder" appear to have a space after them, so for contributors who are both, we see Fluent Speaker space comma space Elder space.

All our current values for <person>/@role have now been documented in the ODD file, and I've also put a system in place for reading that data out of the ODD file at transform time (using <xsl:document>) and using it to create the web display text. This will be handy in future, and it's a good approach because it encourages us to do more documentation, in more detail, in the ODD file, with the sense that it's going to be made public. The ODD file is now in the db, of course, which is also probably good. It might make sense to put the rng file there as well, and make both forms of documentation available from the site.
1) In the email that pops up when EB or SC clicks on an Email link, please add the following fields to the template:
Date:
Speaker:
Writer:
Typist:
Comments:
2) Please send the emails from this page to skell@uvic.ca and caitlinb@uvic.ca as well as ECH and MDH.
3) The question in the entry for "Paschal Sherman" is not showing up on the website, although it's there in the xml file. SMK can't figure out why ...
4) ECH needs a way to prioritize the Questions for Elders – e.g., questions on lexical suffixes are low priority.
5) If we start to get a large volume of feedback coming from the community, ECH would like a tool for speeding up entry of responses. Here are some initial ideas ...
-responses to Questions for Elders would appear on a new page on the website, instead of coming as email responses
-for each response, the editor (likely ECH or SMK) could select from options like
-ignore
-defer
-add to existing entry as editorial note
-add to existing entry as new <def>
-add to existing <def> as new <bibl>
-add to existing entry as new pron:seg type=“n”
-add whole new entry in new-data-2013.xml
