shooting the messenger : make still broken
by Lou Burnard 03 Jul '19

03 Jul '19

Thinking about this debacle again, it seems to me that the approach taken in issue #370 (oh tei_simpleprint.odd has stopped working: so there must be something wrong with it) is really not defensible. 1. The unmodified tei_simplePrint odd is structured in exactly the same way as countless other ODDs, not excluding the TEI Guidelines. It has free floating globs of specification elements, which are invoked from a single schemaSpec by means of specGrpRefs. 2. The only thing which is slightly different about it is that some objects are declared more than once in multiple specGrps, with @mode=change. This is because the specGrps are organised thematically (for example one contains changes needed to introduce processing models, another contains changes needed to introduce schematron rules). This kind of logical organisation is perfectly reasonable as far as I am aware, indeed why else bother to have specGrps. 3. The only objection I can see to it is that an ODD processor has to decide how to combine two or more @mode=change specs. It's not just a matter of applying one set of changes: there may be a bunch of them. This is kind of the way unification grammars work in NLP: you build up the complete spec one bit at a time. Yes, occasionally you may find contradictions -- one spec adds an attribute x (say) which another one deletes, or gives a different datatype to. But this is not the only place where ODD processing is underspecified and rules of thumb are not hard to imagine (e.g. delete always wins; in the absence of delete, most recent modification always wins; etc.). 4. Moreover, and this is where I am really a bit annoyed, THIS USED TO WORK! So some infrastructural change has made it impossible to run the makefile and impossible to use the simpleprint odd as originally designed. And instead of trying to find what change has caused this, we are shooting the messenger. This my friends is called zealotry. In the immortal words of Michael SpMcQ in another recent context, "please don't".

feedback on teiCorpus
by Scholger, Martina (martina.scholger＠uni-graz.at) 01 Jul '19

01 Jul '19

Dear Laurent, dear Council, As discussed, we want to send an email to the TEI-L announcing the introduction of nesting TEI elements and asking for feedback on the proposal to deprecate <teiCorpus>. I made a first draft for this email here (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Jlk0FUHjUKlN-1-WAqhlhYReT2yq_eIbYP66osk…) and ask you to chime in. I suggest to send this on Wednesday. Best wishes, Martina

nesting TEI
by Syd Bauman 28 Jun '19

28 Jun '19

Hugh -- I have 1. created a 'nest_TEI_deprecate_teiCorpus' branch 2. updated the <desc> for <TEI> (English only) 3. added <TEI> to model.resourceLike 4. begun the process of updating the prose HOWEVER, 1) I can't really test it well, because the build process is broken. But what I can easily test, it seems to be fine. 2) I have run out of time and have not even proofread the changes I made to DS and CC. Over to you ...

If no one else has time to test this (which I agree with Raff is a priority), I'll do so before Friday afternoon.

priorities
by Syd Bauman 24 Jun '19

24 Jun '19

Martina (and all) -- where are we on the big nesting TEI issue? I had planned to spend my TEI time between now and release working on that, so at this release <TEI> would be able to nest, and the documentation would include this possibility (whether we deprecated use of <teiCorpus> now or not). But a) I'm not sure I'm clear to move ahead on that; and b) I'm wondering if I shouldn't be spending time on the Stylesheets issues instead? I realize that means bumping nesting-<TEI> another 6 months (which would make *me* sad), but that may not be a bad thing if we're still waiting for LR's post to TEI-L and the fallout therefrom.

Stylesheets meeting in ~3.5 hours
by Syd Bauman 21 Jun '19

21 Jun '19

We will be holding a Stylesheets group meeting this afternoon: 13:00 PDT 16:00 EDT 21:00 BST 22:00 CEST today. Google Hangouts unless someone says otherwise. Peter won't be able to join us. He wants us to work on getting the build to work. Elli probably won't be there. She wants us to work on ticket 370. The good news is that Martin & I just discovered they are the same thing. We've put some info about how far we got on the ticket, so if you can read up on https://github.com/TEIC/Stylesheets/issues/370 before we start. -- Syd Bauman, NRP (he/him/his) Senior XML Programmer/Analyst Northeastern University Women Writers Project s.bauman(a)northeastern.edu or Syd_Bauman(a)alumni.Brown.edu

Hi all, I’m most probably on the road tonight and won’t be able to meet with you, sorry :( But it’d be great if you were able to tackle the current build problems :) Best Peter

release planning
by Scholger, Martina (martina.scholger＠uni-graz.at) 20 Jun '19

20 Jun '19

Dear all, Here is a quick reminder regarding the upcoming release: Refridge: June 30-July 8 Freeze: July 9-13 Create release branch: July 14 Release: July 16 Please have a look at the issues assigned to you and add those which you plan to do before the release to the 3.6.0. milestone. @Luis: currently, there is no place for release techs to login to the server and deploy the new release. Are you available on July 16 in case we need your help with this? Our next Council call is scheduled for July 19, which is after the release. Do we need to meet before that? This might be difficult since some of us are at the DH conference in Utrecht the week before... Best, Martina

Next OxGarage release
by Peter Stadler 14 Jun '19

14 Jun '19

Dear all, as proposed at the f2f I’d like to do a OxGarage release soonish. Au contraire to what I said at the f2f I’m now thinking of making this version 3.0.0 (rather than 2.11.0). This release is merely to update the current stable (master) branch (after a year) to catch up with the recent developments in the dev branch, and to fix the versioning which currently states 2.10.0 in the VERSION file but 1.0.0 on the GitHub releases. I no one speaks up, I’ll do so in the next days/week. Best Peter
