I can't join you either, as I'm currently winding an ODD workshop here in Paris... more than 15 minutes notice might have been helpful I tend to agree with James' comment below. Another good idea would be to address inconsistently/incorrectly specified actions as per MSM's recent tickets ...

I'll be in a meeting for the first part of it so will try to join you later if someone reminds me of the hangout url. Joel''s warning about starting from scratch is good. Another approach is slowly and systematically updating portions of the code in place. Eg in our case moving some of the recursively called templates into functions or similar.

AFAIK we are good to go for our next session tomorrow, Tue 12-20 at 17:00Z. That's 09:00 in Vancouver, 12:00 in New York, 17:00 in London, and 18:00 in Vienna. Anyone volunteer to establish the Google Hangout and send out the URL? (I have trouble with Google on this machine, so would prefer not to do that myself.)

Github pages
by Peter Stadler 24 Feb '17

24 Feb '17

Hi all, I just stumbled upon https://teic.github.io/TEI/ which presents an outdated version of the Guidelines. I *think*, those Github pages were created just for testing and could simply be removed now (to avoid confusion)? Best Peter

chap 23
by Lou Burnard 20 Feb '17

20 Feb '17

So who on current council would like to dive in with a view on how to improve chap23? You really shouldn't leave all those tickets to me! e.g. https://github.com/TEIC/TEI/issues/1586

I'm willing to be one of those involved and have been reading Michael's tickets but haven't really had a chance to dive back into the conformance prose to see what it is we really say.

(no subject)

As a reminder to all, http://www.tei-c.org/Board/procedures.xml#body.1_div.8 outlines what can be claimed per diem for the meeting last week, that is, for the meeting and associated travel, not for extra days. The public day meeting counts, because that was a TEI outreach event. The US DoS per diem rate for Prague is $136, per https://aoprals.state.gov/web920/per_diem_action.asp?MenuHide=1&PostCode=10… That seems high to me, as Prague seemed cheaper than Vienna, but maybe the State Department stays in nicer hotels. I dunno. So we are eligible to claim 70% of that, which is $95.20. Incidentals: Morning: $4.76 (5%) Afternoon: $6.66 (7%) Evening: $7.62 (8%) Meals: Breakfast: $19.04 (20%) Lunch: $26.65 (28%) Dinner: $30.46 (32%) You should obviously not request reimbursement for meals paid for by someone else, so when Syd picked up the check, he will just submit that for reimbursement. I know some of you were (as I was) caught up in various weather-related delays and cancellations. Expenses incurred as the result of these count as travel expenses, as far as I'm concerned, and are reimbursable. I had to take the train from NYC to Durham, and I'm submitting that ticket (coach class; I did upgrade myself to business class, and I'm not asking for the upgrade cost back). All the best, Hugh
