Documentation
by Hugh Cayless 11 Feb '20

11 Feb '20

Hi All, I've been looking at implementing a slightly more robust documentation-publishing scheme for things like TCWs using Travis to automatically publish stuff pushed to the Documentation repo on GitHub Pages (and maybe in future to the website as well). We moved the TCW (Technical Council Working papers) docs over to https://github.com/TEIC/Documentation, but there is also https://github.com/TEIC/TEI/tree/dev/Documents, and in fact some of the content at http://teic.github.io/TCW/ and https://github.com/TEIC/teic.github.io/tree/master/TCW comes from the latter. So not everything in the TCW directory is a TCW, nor is everything listed in our GitHub Pages TCW site from the TCW directory. In short, it's a shambles :-). I would like to organize all this in a more sensible and intuitive way. So I have questions: 1) What documents should we surface? There's a lot of stuff in the TEI/Documents folder that's old (obsolete? Of historical interest?). 2) Should we try to merge all the documentation? We moved the TCWs out of TEI for reasons that may no longer pertain. Or we could move all the stuff in TEI/Documents out into the Documentation repo. What do we think? Hugh

standoff
by Scholger, Martina (martina.scholger＠uni-graz.at) 08 Feb '20

08 Feb '20

Hi Syd, I am currently working on the release notes and found some things in standoff: 1. <standOff> is defined in the textstructure module but the fourth bullet point in textstructure says that it is defined in the linking module and refers to section 16.9.2 The standoff Container, see https://jenkins.tei-c.org/job/TEIP5-dev/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/P5/rel… 1. In the <standOff> spec * The description of an element in <desc> usually starts with a lower-case letter (functions as a container ...) * There should be a reference to the GLs in the element description, eg. to SA.html#SASOstdf Best, Martina

Refridge
by Scholger, Martina (martina.scholger＠uni-graz.at) 06 Feb '20

06 Feb '20

Dear Council, We are in the middle of the “refridge phase” which means that we are getting really busy 😊 Please don’t commit major changes to the schema (except if they have been tested in a branch like standoff and unihan); minor changes (wording, typos, examples) are fine. Freeze is on Monday, which means no more changes can be done in the dev branch after that. There are 35 open issues labeled with “milestone 3.7.0” https://github.com/TEIC/TEI/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+milestone%3A%22Gu… Please remove the milestone from those issues, that won’t go into the upcoming release. Best, Martina
