Dear Elli and Sabine, Welcome to the TEI Technical Council! I've added you to the Council and Board-Council mailing lists so that you can follow the ongoing discussions before your term officially starts in January. You should also have received an invitation for the Google Drive folder "TEI-Technical-Council" were we collect our meeting minutes, notes etc., the GitHub repository, the shared Google calendar, and the Slack channel. I hope it works. New Council members will be assigned a mentor to help you get started - you will receive more information soon. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Best, Martina Dr. Martina Scholger Centre for Information Modeling Austrian Centre for Digital Humanities University of Graz A-8010 Graz | Elisabethstraße 59/III +43 316 380 2291 http://informationsmodellierung.uni-graz.at<http://informationsmodellierung.uni-graz.at/> | http://gams.uni-graz.at<http://gams.uni-graz.at/> Chair of the TEI Technical Council | http://www.tei-c.org/ Institut für Dokumentologie und Editorik e.V. | https://www.i-d-e.de/

elliptical
by Lou Burnard 07 Nov '21

07 Nov '21

I was pondering https://twitter.com/TEI_Pelican/status/1436279338182189056 in which it's claimed that the tag <ellipsis> doesn't feature in any TEI documents in the wild so far dredged up by the pelican, when one of the students in this year's TEI course in Tours asked how to deal with a manuscript like the attached: its a play script showing just one actor's part, the horizontal lines representing other actors' speeches. A real life case for <ellipsis> I think.

DST stands for different stylesheets timing
by Bauman, Syd 04 Nov '21

04 Nov '21

We agreed to move the Thu 28 Oct Stylesheets meeting to Thu 04 Nov. Problem is, we did not agree on a time, and unlike 28 Oct, where the “usual time” works (as [1]), by Thu 04 Nov Europe has fallen back to standard time, but US & Canada have not, meaning our currently scheduled times are [2]. At least Elisa would miss most of it if we leave it at [2]; and although I would not miss it, for me earlier is probably better because I will be waking up at 03:00 localtime to attend Declarative Amsterdam. Would folks be willing to change it to the “usual time” for the North Americans, i.e. [3]? (We can’t really push it out another week, as we have a regular meeting on Thu 11 Nov, by which time North America has fallen back to match Europe.) [1] Normal DST meeting times: * 10:30 PDT * 13:30 EDT * 17:30 UTC * 18:30 BST * 19:30 CEST [2] Times currently set for Thu 04 Nov: * 11:30 PDT * 14:30 EDT * 18:30 UTC * 18:30 GMT * 19:30 CST [3] Suggested times: * 10:30 PDT * 13:30 EDT * 17:30 UTC * 17:30 GMT * 18:30 CST

Ticket assignments and Councilors-elect
by Bauman, Syd 02 Nov '21

02 Nov '21

Elli & Sabine — First, welcome aboard! Second, I am sending this directly to you because I do not know if you have been added to the Council mailing list yet. Some background: One of our major tasks is to address “tickets”, issues raised and pull requests posted to our GitHub repositories. This means you need to have an account on GitHub, and someone needs to add your account to our repositories. The sooner the better, IMHO. Every month one Councilor volunteers to sift through all the newly posted tickets to the two main repos (TEI & Stylesheets) and assign them to various people to be in charge of handling them. This person may also assign a priority label, thus the name of this process is called “ticket triage”. I am the ticket triage person for October and am a bit behind schedule. 🙂 Everyone — Unless someone tells me otherwise, I am planning to include Elli & Sabine in the list of people who get assigned tickets. Yes, they may not be up to speed to address any for a few months, but if there are good tickets for someone new to the process or tickets in their areas of expertise, it seems to make sense to put them in the pool. On the same note, unless Jessica or Meaghan jumps up and says “No, please give me more tickets! I do not have enough work to try to get done in 2 months, more, more!” I do not plan to assign any new ones to either of them unless it is exactly up her alley. (Meg has 9 current open issues assigned, Jessica 14.)

ticket triage
by Bauman, Syd 01 Nov '21

01 Nov '21

All, particularly Magdelena — Due in large part to power outage and internet down time at the end of last week (and the surge in other obligations that created), I have not done ticket triage for October yet. I am planning to work on it tonight, but probably won’t be done until tomorrow. (Magdelena because you are ticket triage person for November.)

Stylesheets Working Group Meeting Tomorrow
by Martin Holmes 28 Oct '21

28 Oct '21

Hi all, I just got a call from Syd to say that immediately following the end of the conference, his power went out, and it hasn't come back yet, so he has no internet connection and is unable to send out the reminder and agenda for our meeting tomorrow. So here's the reminder! Hopefully Martina will be able to send out the Zoom URL; last time around it was this: <https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82509109944?pwd=aS9Va2ZVbUNEOTQ2ZXFXMXNkV3k2Zz09> but it may be different each time. Time: 10:30–12:00 PDT (JJ, MH) 13:30–15:00 EDT (SB, EBB, MB, HC, JL, RV) 18:30–20:00 BST (HSB?, NC, MT?) 19:30–21:00 CEST (MS, PS) Syd also had the list of issues that we proposed discussing, but I'm pretty sure we had decided to focus on one or two of the outstanding pull requests: <https://github.com/TEIC/Stylesheets/pulls> It's important that we don't neglect these for too long because they get out of sync with dev and have to be cautiously merged or re-worked. Cheers, Martin -- ------------------------------------- Humanities Computing and Media Centre University of Victoria mholmes(a)uvic.ca

Old TEI framework in Oxygen
by Martin Holmes 29 Sep '21

29 Sep '21

Hi all, At the last Stylesheets meeting, we happened to notice that the current Oxygen is shipping with an old TEI framework, so I raised an issue on the Oxygen forum: <https://www.oxygenxml.com/forum/topic23434.html> This hasn't got any response at all, which is a bit unusual for the Oxygen guys. I'm wondering what the next step should be. Options might be to raise an issue on the oxygen-tei GitHub repo and ping specific people such as Radu or Alex, or perhaps to email George directly. I think it's something Council should decide on, though. For all I know, they just forgot to rebuild the plugin before their release, and there's nothing to worry about. Cheers, Martin -- ------------------------------------------ Martin Holmes UVic Humanities Computing and Media Centre I acknowledge and respect the lək̓ʷəŋən peoples on whose traditional territory the university stands and the Songhees, Esquimalt and WSÁNEĆ peoples whose historical relationships with the land continue to this day.

Stylesheets meeting this Thu 23 Sep
by Bauman, Syd 23 Sep '21

23 Sep '21

We are scheduled to hold a Stylesheets meeting on Thu 26 Aug 21 at 17:30Z for 1.5 hours. That is * 10:30–12:00 PDT (JJ, MH) * 13:30–15:00 EDT (SB, EBB, MB, HC, JL, RV) * 18:30–20:00 BST (HSB?, NC, MT?) * 19:30–21:00 CEST (MS, PS) Martina — let me know if you want me to send out a Zoom link, or, if you would prefer just to send it out yourself. Also, I presume we will be taking notes on our scratchpad<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lbdA_oikjNJvNuMKVdgn41JHL-NpdrtLhh2qK6_…> but let us know if you have other plans. Proposed agenda: 1. Admonish everyone (except MH) for not testing the examples in TCW32 and putting your results in the GoogleDoc<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nAi_6pB1ayTV3SYAsrf8InKL1T5n8DAdgdhf-o5…>. 2. Housekeeping (location of notes, certification of quorum, birthday announcements, etc. :-) 3. Remind everyone to test the examples in TCW32, using the GoogleDoc<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nAi_6pB1ayTV3SYAsrf8InKL1T5n8DAdgdhf-o5…> as a guide. 4. Tickets. Possibilities include * <empty/> element not processed #263<https://github.com/TEIC/Stylesheets/issues/263>: LB→HC. Next step, I think, is to create a test suite. * .docx to TEI P5 XML Document conversion fails #405<https://github.com/TEIC/Stylesheets/issues/405>: fricke-steyer→PS. Do we bother? What about Tomaz’s extra problem posted 2020-10-13? * tei-to-markdown.xsl needs a template to handle images #511<https://github.com/TEIC/Stylesheets/issues/511>: MH→EBB. MH says it is simple. Seems it would be, but we have all heard that before. 😀 * <ptr> in <desc> gets dropped in rng #513<https://github.com/TEIC/Stylesheets/issues/513>: NC→NC. Probably one of those cases for which it is very hard to figure out what is going on, but easy to fix once you figure it out. Maybe. 5. Implore everyone to test the examples in TCW32, using MS’s GoogleDoc<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nAi_6pB1ayTV3SYAsrf8InKL1T5n8DAdgdhf-o5…> as a guide.

two sizable editing tasks
by Bauman, Syd 14 Sep '21

14 Sep '21

We (well, y’all) now have two sizable editing & testing tasks in the hopper that I would like to see handled as soon as reasonable. 1. TCW32<https://github.com/TEIC/Documentation/blob/master/TCW/tcw32.xml>, which I would like to see published (as TCUxx, I think) in October, if possible. Reviewers of this document (which should include you, James, as you are assigned to this ticket<https://github.com/TEIC/TEI/issues/1675>) should: * Read the prose, make any obvious changes necessary, check right back into master branch. * Read the prose, inform me or post any controversial suggested changes. Use a new branch and PR if you make extensive changes. * Try out the examples, make sure they do what they say they will do. Since there are 17 of them, and some are quite complex, and in most cases you will have to make a test file, it might be nicer to divvy them up among several people. See below. 2. Furthermore, there are (at least) 2 significant problems in the HTML output using teitohtml<https://github.com/TEIC/Stylesheets/blob/dev/bin/teitohtml> which we should probably fix before publishing: * The little anchor symbols are not floating over to the R side of the examples. (Only the first 2 little examples in the running prose have anchor symbols.) * Every <ref> to a figure in the back matter is being rendered with an extraneous preceding “, ” (i.e., COMMA SPACE) that has to go. 3. Issue 2173. Comment on the ticket<https://github.com/TEIC/TEI/issues/2173#issuecomment-917810897> discusses minimum that needs to be done. (I have not actually created a PR for two reasons: * need real messages, first * I had started by creating the ODD-with-tests, so went ahead with that route.) below Here is a list of the 17 snippets of ODD in TCW32 that need to be tested (as of the 1st checked-in version; I may have corrected some typos since then). If folks reading this could each grab one or two at random and test, that would be lovely. Or if y’all prefer we can ask Martina to just assign them to people. * #eg01: PureODD to limit attribute to one URI * #eg02: Ensure ref of g is a shorthand pointer * #eg03: Ensure ref of g is a shorthand pointer, PureODD * #eg04: Check that ref of g points to something * #eg05: Check that ref of g points to a char or a glyph * #eg06: Require the url of moduleRef to refer to a particular file * #eg07: Check that url of moduleRef refers to an RNG file in the same directory * #eg08: Ensure file is readable XML * #eg09: Ensure file is readable RELAX NG grammar * #eg10: Require persName to refer to a person in the local personography * #eg11: Ensure uri of equiv is present and refers to an item on a particular page * #eg12: Require a filter on equiv that points to an XSLT program * #eg13: rendtion points to 1 or 2 renditions * #eg14: Check that each pointer in wit points to witness * #eg15: Required ref of persName eventually refers to person * #eg16: Required ref of persName eventually refers to person using abstract patterns * #eg17: Resolve prefixDef for references to people

Stylesheets Test2 job on Jenkins
by Peter Stadler 13 Sep '21

13 Sep '21

Hi Martin and Council, at yesterday's Council meeting we decided to push your Test2 forward and run both test suites in parallel for some time to see whether they fail/succeed for the same issues. If this runs smooth, we might remove the original tests completely at some point. Syd was so kind to add a new „Test2“ target to the Makefile [1] and I set up a new job at the Paderborn Jenkins [2]. It simply runs `make clean test2` (so no artifacts are built). I had to update the `tei-log-parse-rules` and now everything seems to work nicely. Cheers Peter [1] https://github.com/TEIC/Stylesheets/commit/c8a8f6fbc0ff98c47041fc365a98f6d5… [2] https://jenkins.tei-c.org/job/Stylesheets-dev-Test2/
