First defaultVal for the chopping block
by Martin Holmes 29 May '15

29 May '15

My first candidate for an annoying and pointless defaultVal is @part. This has the defaultVal "n", which means: (no) either the element is not fragmented, or no claim is made as to its completeness. [Default] If it means "No claim is made as to its completeness", then there's no point whatsoever -- and actually the fact that this means _both_ "not fragmented" _and_ "I'm not saying whether this is fragmented or not" is just silly. Unless anyone gives me a good reason within the next 24 hours, I'm going to delete the defaultness and remove the latter part of the definition. I don't believe anyone has ever explicitly applied this attribute with the value "no" to mean the second part of its definition, so I don't see that any difference could be made to anyone's existing projects. Shout if you think I'm missing something. Cheers, Martin

DTW-Ann Arbor ride
by Lou Burnard 28 May '15

28 May '15

Anyone else arriving about 18h15 (or as the Americans say "6.30 pm") in DTW next Weds? Interested in sharing a cab rather than waiting for the 19h45 bus (or bemoaning the departure of the 18h02 one)?

Stand-off proposal
by Martin Holmes 27 May '15

27 May '15

Very minor niggle on the stand-off spec: <https://github.com/laurentromary/stdfSpec/blob/master/Specification/standof…> If the intention is to create a new module in TEI rather than add the new elements to an existing module, the module ident should be "standoff" rather than "stand-off", to align with existing modules ("namesdates", "textstructure"). Cheers, Martin

Agenda for F2F
by Hugh Cayless 27 May '15

27 May '15

Hi all, I’m putting together a draft agenda at http://wiki.tei-c.org/index.php/Council_Agenda_2015-05 <http://wiki.tei-c.org/index.php/Council_Agenda_2015-05>. Items for discussion are to be found in the Minutes Google Doc at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1V7RB54nYMKeXPqPAGxjbKmXwViz0vLFfwzGo4Ql… Please add any additional business items you have to that list. I’ll be working more on it and the agenda today and tomorrow. Martin had proposed talking about how to build the Oxygen plugin. Do we have any other possible technical talks? Anything for TEI Simple or Pure ODD, for example? Looking forward to seeing you on Thursday! Hugh

Just for info: the UVic Jenkins machine is currently down because it's being cloned to create a new Jenkins build server for other projects. Should be up again soon. Cheers, Martin

Release of the Oxygen plugin
by Martin Holmes 26 May '15

26 May '15

Hi all, After some more testing with Ron, I've just released a new version of the Oxygen plugin, incorporating the latest Stylesheets release (7.35.0) and some changes to the plugin codebase that we had had to back out of before Oxygen 17 was released because they depended on Stylesheets changes which hadn't been released at that point. If you're subscribed to this version of the plugin, please let me know if you see any problems. One of the confusing issues I'll talk about when I do my little show-and-tell on the Oxygen plugin in Michigan will be version numbers. Right now, the plugin filename is derived from the P5 and Stylesheets versions incorporated in it: teioxygen-2.8.0-7.35.0.zip = P5 2.8.0 and Stylesheets 7.35.0. However, there also has to be a true version number for the plugin, which is inserted into the updateSite.oxygen XML file that handles the plugin updates for users. Oxygen's system only allows a version number consisting of three dotted digits: 1.2.3 Our practice up to now has been to name the plugin release after the P5 release on which it's based, so this would be: 2.8.0 but because the last one was already 2.8.0, I've had to increment it: 2.8.1 If we now go ahead and release a minor P5 update, which would be 2.8.1, we would confusingly have to increment the plugin version number to 2.8.2. So I'd like to suggest that we detach the plugin versioning count entirely from the P5 version, and simply increment it independently; but with the second and third digits representing collapsed versions of the P5 and Stylesheets versions on which it's based: 3.280.7350 This would mean that we could have meaningful plugin version numbers simply incrementing in position 1, and still record the versions of P5 and the Stylesheets on which they're based. Any see any problem with this? We could make the change at the same time that we switch the file naming from teioxygen to oxygen-tei, as we've discussed before. Cheers, Martin

Building (e.g. TEI All schema)
by Hugh Cayless 26 May '15

26 May '15

Can someone explain to me like I’m an idiot how to use the Stylesheets to generate, say, a TEI All schema using the Guidelines specs? I’m afraid the documentation doesn’t give me enough to go on. I thought I understood it, but I don’t. My understanding is that you use the transformtei script, but what inputs do you give it? Thanks, Hugh
