I'll add that if Rahtz2003 or any other such materials are worth saving for posterity, Luis and I can handle adding them to the TEI Archive ( http://www.tei-c.org/Vault/ ). As with everything else, duties are still split between us, so just write to web@tei-c.org and we'll sort out what's needed to preserve the TEI-C's records. On 4/24/17 10:44 AM, James Cummings wrote:
Hi Council (MartinH CC'd),
Martin had noticed that the Guidelines Link checker couldn't find http://tei.oucs.ox.ac.uk/Talks/2003-05-06-xmleurope2003/xmleurope2003.pdf which is in the Bibliography as Rahtz2003.
This was because I tidied old repositories on tei.oucs (which really should be referred to as tei.it now anyway) by updating various quite old folders in SVN with set-depth=immediates which leaves the file in the repo but not checked out on the server. I've put it back now so the Guidelines Checker will not flag it as an error.
However, we discovered that the *only* place this is referenced is in the TEI Guidelines bibliography and that it is really quite out of date (talking about things pre-P5). Since the Bibliography here is functioning as a Works Cited or sources for examples, Martin suggests and I agree to just remove this entry from the bibliography. This seems like a corrigible error to us that doesn't need a ticket.
If no one shouts loudly in the next couple days or so then Martin or I will remove it.
Also note that _anything_ pointing at tei.it.ox.ac.uk or tei.oucs.ox.ac.uk or oxgarage.oucs.ox.ac.uk should be considered at risk since IT Services here actively does not care about the TEI any more, and for various reasons by the end of the summer may not exist. (This is also true for jenkins-oxford.tei-c.org.)
Sadly,

Do you want to nuke it now, or should we raise a ticket and have Council look at it?
I'm never sure what the right thing to do is in these cases. It seems a simple corrigible error we could just fix, but I worry about perhaps overstepping the mark.
Cheers, Martin

Hi Martin,
Just to confirm that I can find _no_ usage of the string Rahtz2003 in the TEI Guidelines sources except in the Bibliography.

Hi James,
That's the only URL I can find which matches \.((it)|(oucs))\.ox\.ac\.uk, so I think we're OK; there are a few in the Defunct folder, but that's no problem.
As for that particular presentation (<biblStruct xml:id="Rahtz2003">), I can't find any actual reference to it, unless I'm missing something; it's in the bibliography but it doesn't seem to be referenced from anywhere. If you can confirm this just to be sure, we can just nuke it. That's on the assumption that the BIB is supposed to be a list of referenced works, rather than a generic history-of-the-TEI list; I don't think it should be the latter, although I think there should be such a thing somewhere.
Cheers, Martin
