Hi all, Jens Østergaard Petersen just read the CH-LanguagesCharacterSets.xml prefatory chapter: http://www.tei-c.org/release/doc/tei-p5-doc/en/html/CH.html and as he often does, took the trouble to report a bunch of minor issues and typos. I was going to trawl through these tonight, but it crossed my mind that they might be useful for the new Council members to do their first Guidelines edits with. Raffaele and Stefan, what do you think? These are the bugs that are straightforward fixes: http://sourceforge.net/p/tei/bugs/707/ http://sourceforge.net/p/tei/bugs/708/ http://sourceforge.net/p/tei/bugs/709/ http://sourceforge.net/p/tei/bugs/711/ http://sourceforge.net/p/tei/bugs/712/ http://sourceforge.net/p/tei/bugs/714/ http://sourceforge.net/p/tei/bugs/716/ http://sourceforge.net/p/tei/bugs/717/ There are a few others, but they need at least a look; the final one calls for a complete section to be deleted or revised, and I tend to agree with him, but it'll need some discussion. Raffaele and Stefan, if you think it would be useful to try editing the Guidelines with some straightforward bugs like this, I'd suggest Raffaele take the even-numbered ones and Stefan the odd-numbered ones, so you don't step on each other's feet, and have a go. Below is a copy of the instructions I sent around in December. If you don't think it's of value to do this, just post to the list and I'll make these fixes. --------------------------------------------------------------- 2. EDITING THE GUIDELINES: --------------------------------------------------------------- Most of the actions taken by Council members involve editing the TEI Guidelines source code. The process basically works like this: 1. Check out the source from Subversion on SourceForge. 2. Make changes. 3. Commit them back to the repository. 4. Wait to see whether our Continuous Integration servers successfully rebuild the schemas and documentation. These are the key URLs for learning how to edit the Guidelines: The Sourceforge SVN repository: http://sourceforge.net/p/tei/code/HEAD/tree/ (If you log into the SF website, you will see the option RW for a read-write checkout; use this option so that you can easily commit changes back to the repository. All Council members are members of the Developer group, with write permissions.) Bug reports and feature requests (tickets) on SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/p/tei/_list/tickets How to Edit the TEI Guidelines: http://www.tei-c.org/Activities/Council/Working/tcw20.xml (This is a vital read before attempting to make any changes to the Guidelines source code.) Style Guide for Editing the TEI Guidelines: http://www.tei-c.org/Activities/Council/Working/tcw24.xml (Another important document to read before making any edits.) Currently Unresolved Tickets: http://www.tei-c.org/Activities/Council/Working/tcw17.html (This is a good way to see what we're currently working on. New members might find a ticket here that they feel confident about implementing, and could volunteer to take it and work on it with the help of their mentor.) --------------------------------------------------------------- Cheers, Martin
