Thanks for Ruby feedback
by Martin Holmes 04 Feb '21

04 Feb '21

Hi all, Thanks for the feedback on the location for the Ruby prose. The consensus is clear -- it should be in core -- and the comments suggest that the most appropriate approach will be to integrated it with the content relating to glosses, which is currently in 3.3.4, "Terms, Glosses, Equivalents, and Descriptions". That sub-subsection is already quite long, so what I propose to attempt is this: Take 3.3.4 "Terms, Glosses, Equivalents, and Descriptions" and 3.3.5 "Some Further Examples" and make them into a new subsection (i.e. one level higher), which will become 3.4. Title the new section "Terms, Glosses, Equivalents, Descriptions, and Ruby". (JJ suggests that terms belongs elsewhere, but that would be a major reorg, and I don't think we have time for that right now.) Create subsections: 3.4.1 "Terms and Glosses" covering the first part of what is now 3.3.4. This would also include the "Further Examples" bit, which is really an extension of this. 3.4.2 "Ruby Annotations" containing the new prose already proposed. 3.4.3 "Equivalents and Descriptions" containing the part of what is now 3.3.4 which discusses altIdent, desc, and equiv; I think this is a different topic, really, from glossing terms. I'm doing this work in a separate branch: <https://github.com/TEIC/TEI/tree/issue-2054-ruby> which I'll merge dev into steadily as I go, to minimize later merge conflicts. I'll also set up a build job for this branch on my Jenkins when the initial work is done. The time is relatively short, but I think we can get there before the freeze. I'll post the meat of this on the ticket too, for the record. Cheers, Martin -- ------------------------------------- Humanities Computing and Media Centre University of Victoria mholmes(a)uvic.ca

More NVDL issues: Spec files not validating
by Martin Holmes 03 Feb '21

03 Feb '21

Hi all, Our Spec files (P5/Source/Specs/*.xml) all link to the NVDL schema here: <http://jenkins.tei-c.org/job/TEIP5-dev/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/P5/rele…> That generates an error in itself, because the Jenkins server gives a 308 Permanent Redirect to https. But if you do retrieve the schema and try to validate with it in Oxygen, you get (or at least, I get) the error: IllegalStateException - getSchemaProperties requires a schema I'm not sure why that is -- anybody know? It makes it a bit difficult to work on Spec files. What are people doing to validate their Spec files at the moment?

Next short VF2F meeting
by Scholger, Martina (martina.scholger＠uni-graz.at) 03 Feb '21

03 Feb '21

Dear all, During the VF2F meeting this weekend, we agreed to do more short virtual F2F meetings as long as we can't do in-person meetings. Please fill in the doodle for our next short VF2F meeting (end of March / April): https://doodle.com/poll/dc68qph9py96w39f?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link. The procedure is the same as last time: the North American Group starts on Friday, the European Group continues on Saturday morning and the full Council meets in the "afternoon" (morning for PST and EST). Best, Martina

Meg and I plan to finish up work on ticket #2010 on Mon evening 08 Feb (ET), and create a PR at that time. We are hoping it can be reviewed before the Council meeting on Thu 11 Feb. (If you don’t want to wait, see branch megjbrownIssue2010.)

Jenkins builds failing and not failing
by Martin Holmes 01 Feb '21

01 Feb '21

Hi all, If you look at Peter's Jenkins, you'll see that the TEI-P5-Test-dev job appears to succeed (it's green). However, the console log for the latest build (653) shows 14 errors: <https://jenkins.tei-c.org/job/TEIP5-Test-dev/653/parsed_console/> On my Jenkins, the latest build (547) also fails, but differently: <https://jenkins2.tei-c.org/job/TEIP5-Test-dev/547/parsed_console/> I'm going to try to figure out why my build is failing, but I'm even more puzzled by the main Jenkins, which seems to be giving the impression that all is well. Peter, do you know what's happening here? NVDL errors seem to be ignored. Cheers, Martin -- ------------------------------------------ Martin Holmes UVic Humanities Computing and Media Centre

Council votes on Ruby in the Guidelines
by Martin Holmes 01 Feb '21

01 Feb '21

HI all, As Elisa points out, Council can't vote on the original ticket because it's not on the main TEI repo, so I've reposted it here: <https://github.com/TEIC/TEI/issues/2054#issuecomment-770934282> Please record your preferences for the location of the Ruby introductory prose and other mentions/pointers to it. I'll also check Slack where there's another poll under way. Doesn't matter which one you use. Cheers, Martin -- ------------------------------------- Humanities Computing and Media Centre University of Victoria mholmes(a)uvic.ca
