plan for Stylesheets, and versions, and tags, oh my!
by Syd Bauman 03 Jun '20

03 Jun '20

At one point we had a Stylesheets meeting planned for this Tue 02 Jun at 13:00Z. Various other plans have cropped up since. Basically, Elisa, Martin, Peter, and I have not finished the Stylesheets categorization project; although we have made good progress, we still have more to go, and would like to use that time slot. Furthermore, Peter has suggested (and I readily agree) that we, Council, need to talk about teidata.version. Thus my suggestion is 1. a 1-hour meeting at 13:00Z with as many Council members as will show up to discuss version numbering and (time permitting) Stylesheets 2. a 1-hour meeting at 14:00Z of PS & SB and MH & EB to do more Stylesheets labeling. I, for one, have another meeting at 15:00Z which I do not want to be late for.

Do we need better issues?
by Raffaele Viglianti 29 May '20

29 May '20

Hi all, After today's meeting, I started thinking about why we often end up in loops of discussion. Keeping in mind that this is a partial and personal view, I think that this happens for a few reasons: some are good (e.g. disagreement that needs to be worked out), some are ok (e.g. someone forms an opinion while missing a key piece of context --mea culpa), others are due to the ticket (e.g. it's verbose, it's unclear, it's too short, the discussion is long, etc.) To address the latter, I think we need to ask more of our submitters (including ourselves when creating issues). Each issue should state clearly what the problem is, show clear examples, and offer a solution. Many issues do (I think of the UVic ones are particularly exemplary, however extreme their requests may often appear to me :) ), but the style varies too much and it makes it time consuming for us to figure out what the real issue is and to reprise quickly on second iterations. I wonder if a strict issue template may help us here. GitHub allows to configure multiple templates <https://help.github.com/en/github/building-a-strong-community/using-templat…> (e.g. a bug report template could be default, with the possibility to switch to a feature request one, and perhaps others). Templates pre-populate an issue with headers and a description of what's required for consideration, thus at least encouraging a standardized way of formulating a bug report/feature request. Even if these templates were fairly simple we would still benefit. But I think we could go further and take inspiration from software design documents as a template, which will require the issue reporters to not just do their research, but present it properly too. The DocNow project at MITH creates such documents (publicly) to help discussion within the dev group, and as a crucial means to remind ourselves of why we set to do something (because we all work on dozens of projects and forget things). Here is a very good example <https://www.docnow.io/design/2019-05-21-conversation>. I think forcing this on submitters will weed out partially thought out requests, which will always result in us at least wasting time at best closing or getting back to the submitter, at worst engage in loopy "what if" discussions. We have plenty of issues, so I'm not worried about scaring people away. In fact, i wonder if more structure may even encourage less proficient users to contribute more meaningfully. Templates will also give us -- hopefully -- clearer requests with a proposal for a solution built-in. What do you think? Finally, if we did choose to use this GitHub feature, we should also look at their recommendations for adding a code of conduct <https://help.github.com/en/github/building-a-strong-community/adding-a-code…>. TEI's is hidden deep in the tei-c site <https://tei-c.org/about/code-of-conduct/> but we may want to bring it into the repository and close to the issue submitting process. Thanks for indulging me and I'm well prepared to be told that this in an unnecessary complication and that we should proceed as usual :) Best, Raff

labels for Stylesheets issues
by Syd Bauman 25 May '20

25 May '20

Martin and I came up with a proposed list of labels for Stylesheets issues today. My suggested schedule is that over the next week we review and tweak the list as needed. Then on or about Sun 17 May someone who has some color sense will go ahead and actually change the label values in GitHub. Then during the week of the 18th, flowing over to the week of the 25th as needed, the subgroups (SB, PS, MH, EB|MS) work on categorizing the 139 open issues with the new labels. The list proposed is not intended to be definitive. I expect it to be adjusted both now by Council, and then during the actual cataloging exercise. So take a loot at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TugARD1amG-ZeMPl2Fo-e88VXqirHawmOs5… and comment away.

reuse TEITechnicalCouncil user at GitHub as DockerHub build bot
by Peter Stadler 07 May '20

07 May '20

Dear all, you might have received a notification from GitHub that I added the docker-pkp-ojs repo to the TEIC realm at GitHub. Next, I wanted to integrate with DockerHub for automated builds but DockerHub changed something (already some time ago) in that step that makes it necessary to re-connect a GitHub account with DockerHub. They recommend to use a dedicated service user for that rather than using an individuals account because otherwise the whole TEI group/organization at DockerHub would get access to that individuals repositories. Makes sense … So, I’m now looking for a service account I could use and found the existing user TEITechnicalCouncil – which is not really needed, methinks? The only caveat I see is that this user is currently in the group „owners“ and has admin access to all repositories. We should downgrade that user but that might have side effects? If I was to create a new account at GitHub I’d need an email-address that is not already registered with GitHub. So, it'd probably result in two new accounts which seems a bit messy to me. Any objections to downgrading the TEITechnicalCouncil user and turning that into a bot? If I do not receive any objections I will proceed in that direction. Best Peter

Fresh assignments
by Peter Stadler 22 Apr '20

22 Apr '20

Dear Council friends, being in charge of ticket triage for this month I assigned a bunch of fresh tickets to members of this group. I tried to find appropriate matches for teams of liaisons but please bear with me if you might find that particular ticket, well, not suited … That said, you don’t have to ‚solve‘ those issues, just sheperd them and find someone to do it ;) So currently, for the TEI repo all tickets have someone assigned while for the Stylesheets there are more than 100 open issues without any assignment [1]. Here, I only assigned the most recent tickets that were not created by Council members (including Martin and Lou) themself. Cheers Peter [1] https://github.com/TEIC/Stylesheets/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+no%3Aassi…

procrastination = analysis of Google chars
by Syd Bauman 15 Apr '20

15 Apr '20

I just did a fast-and-lousy analysis of the URLs of 78 of our GoogleDocs. In particular, I looked at the 40-character random-gobbledy-gook looking part after “/document/d/”. Call it “rgg”. Interestingly (to me, at least) each one is an NMTOKEN (in SGML parlance; in XML that is an Nmtoken (production [7]), or in W3C regex that means would match "\c{40}", or more precisely "[A-Za-z_-]{40}"). None are NAMES (or Names, production [5]), because they *all* start with the character ‘1’. Thus they all match the regular expression "1[A-Za-z_-]{39}". Using Unicode general category symbols, the frequency of character occurrences is as follows. 1409 Lu 1358 Ll 564 Nd 54 Pd 47 Pc Remember that each rgg starts with ‘1’. So if we factor those out, we get a frequency set of 1409 Lu [A-Z] 1358 Ll [a-z] 486 Nd [0-9] - ^1 78 I1 ^1 # I made that symbol up; it's for Initial 1 54 Pd - 47 Pc _ If characters are assigned randomly, we would expect the frequencies of Lu and Ll to be roughly equal, and roughly 2.6 times that of Nd; further, we would expect Pd and Pc (as single characters each) to occur 1/10th as often as Nd, and 1/26th as of Lu or Ll. And, on eyeballing them, those values are not far from expected. (For example, 54 * 26 is 1404, which falls in the 1358–1409 range.) But not all that close, either. (For example, 2.6 × the higher number for Nd is 1466, somewhat higher than Lu; but 2.6 × the lower number for Nd is 1264, somewhat lower than Ll.) But my guess is that another few hundred URLs would be needed to be more confident. (I am not a statistician, though.) Raw frequencies: 135 1 75 E 67 J 66 C 65 e 64 s 61 V 60 Z 58 4 58 B 58 D 58 h 58 M 58 n 57 d 57 g 57 G 57 k 57 l 56 b 56 P 56 Q 55 6 55 K 55 X 55 y 54 - 54 a 54 H 54 w 54 Y 53 A 53 j 53 t 53 v 53 x 52 L 52 N 51 f 49 0 49 8 49 q 49 W 48 7 48 F 48 p 48 U 47 _ 47 3 47 I 47 u 46 O 46 r 45 2 45 o 45 R 44 c 43 T 42 z 41 9 41 i 41 m 37 5 36 S OK. Back to what I should have been doing, which is review the minutes Martina asked me to look at yesterday.

GitHub group permissions
by Peter Stadler 08 Apr '20

08 Apr '20

Dear all, (some of) you might have received a notification from GitHub about changed group/team permissions. That was me … I was just looking through our repositories and added the Council team to most of the repos (where missing) and granted us the „maintain“ role (while removing individuals from those repos). That should be more permissive as it was before but I don’t see any reason why Council members should not (by default) have the maintain role for repositories maintained by the TEIC. Cheers Peter

upcoming Stylesheets meeting, Tue 07 Apr 13:00Z
by Syd Bauman 07 Apr '20

07 Apr '20

We are planning to meet this coming Tue 1t 13:00Z. That's * 06:00 PDT * 09:00 EDT * 14:00 BST * 15:00 CEDT I'd like to take a look at two tickets, if we have time. 1) 326 (https://github.com/TEIC/Stylesheets/issues/326) Martina has yet to suggest a fix, but perhaps we should tackle this as a group. Martin & I think this fits in well with respect to our discussion last Tue, as the hard part of this is most likely finding the (various) place(s) where the @xml:id needs to be converted to @id. (The conversion itself is, almost assuredly, quite easy.) 2) 323 (https://github.com/TEIC/Stylesheets/issues/323) Georg has already provided a possible fix, so this may be as easy as putting his suggestion in place. I presume we're meeting on Google Hangouts, but someone tell me if y'all prefer Zoom.
