Re: [tei-council] Hangout link

On the Hangout itself, there were a few initial setup problems, but otherwise the system seemed very much superior to a phone-based telco, offered good video and automatic muting when typing, a chat side-channel that was easy to use, and seemed to make it much easier to take turns and carry on a proper conversation. I think the consensus was very favorable. pfs On Fri, Apr 3, 2015, at 17:12, Martin Holmes wrote:

We missed you -- check out the ODDs list for outcome of the discussion. It would have gone on much longer if you'd been there. :-)

Drat! I completely missed the hangout challenge, and I'm the one who has had trouble with GoogleHangingout in the past. Sigh. I was fighting with XPaths (eventually won) and completely forgot. Really sorry.

1) Can someone report how well or poorly the Hangout itself went?

2) Can someone report on the discussion on whether it should be called <dataNode> or something else?

3) In case anyone is interested, I was trying to write XSLT to identify all <div> elements that have a <gap> or <supplied> as a descendant *before* any text (other than whitespace), or a <gap> or <supplied> as a descendant *after* all text (other than whitespace).

In the general case, it's harder than that, because you'd need to ignore the text inside <fw> and some <note>s and other things too, but I don't have any of those things in this dataset. What I eventually came up with is

| | | | | | | (I was using U+0D instead of U+20 just for debugging reasons -- it doesn't matter what character you join with, so long as it is one that is recognized by normalize-whitespace() as whitespace.)

Feel free to show me it could have been done a lot easier ... :-)
