Re: [Tei-council] web site / board ?

Thanks for the quick response Elisa. "Wordpress under the hood is an awful mess." ... you aint just whistling dixie, as I believe you chaps like to say. But at least I have now fifgured out why it wasn't working with curl (bizarre random redirection), so I am now the proud owner of a stash of web pages purporting to be the full historical record of the Council's deliberations to date, which counts as progress, of a sort.

Hi Lou, Well, it's complicated, and Wordpress under the hood is an awful mess. I was just behind the editing dashboard to post Council's March minutes, saw a long list of Board minutes there, and wondered to myself whether Board minutes were still supposed to be public based on the evident history of their publication. I am newly attending Board meetings and can assure you there are minutes, and good ones, but I wonder if any rules have changed on their disclosure?

I can take up your question with Diane Jakacki, whom I see regularly on the Slack Board channel, but I wonder if anyone with a long institutional memory here recalls any policy changes around/after October 15, 2020?

Now, we're hoping to remove the site from Wordpress and toward a nice static solution which should permit a fresh attention to the manner by which Board and Council minutes are shared. So your message may be timely. I'll await another response here before I prod Diane, who is herself newly chairing Board: If Board enacted a policy to go quiet after October 2020, that might be good to know first.

Cheers, Elisa

Who is currently responsible for the TEI website? I assume someone is!

I thought it might be the Board, but the website does not currently provide any information on Board meetings since 2020. By dint of snooping around on the mailing lists, I discovered that on the 17th inst. the Board had a meeting at which maintenance of the website did feature as an agenda item. But I have no idea beyond that because the minutes of Board meetings have not been visible for the last 3 years, as aforesaid.

I ask because I am trying to put together an archive of TEI Council minutes, and am having a lot of trouble locating anything but Wordpress pages. I don't mind converting these to a better archival format (hmm, how about TEI?) but for some reason curl won't play ball with the website (or vice versa).

best wishes

Lou
