Attended: Gabriel Bodard (GB), Hugh Cayless (HC), Scott Di Giulio (SD), Emmanuelle Morlock (EMo), Elli Mylonas (EMy), Simona Stoyanova (SS), Charlotte Tupman (CT), Polina Yordanova (PY).
Apologies: Pietro Liuzzo, Laura Löser.

We briefly recapped the agenda from last month, and the follow items were further discussed/added:

1. Poli and Laura have agreed to join the group for future calls (Poli joined us today; Laura was unable to but will next month). Scott Di Giulio also joined us today, and agreed to join future calls. Welcome and thanks to all.

2. We are now using Google Hangouts, with no complaints except that some people forget and try to ping me on Skype, and joining is sometimes a problem (at least until we all turned off cameras). Hangout quality seems not to be much better than Skype, although calls dropping off doesn't happen--presumably because the call is centrally hosted rather than a P2P call depending on the person who initiated it. We'll stick with it for now.

3. Update on the EAGLE Storytelling app: GB experimented with adding this to the Stoa blog, but it caused fatal problems there and had to be uninstalled. Would be interested to know if anyone else has been having similar problems?

4. CT gave a report on the Google Analytics breakdown for the EpiDoc Guidelines. The most interesting pattern she reported was that most users arrive at the front page, link through to the "all-trans" page (list of all transcription features) and then go through to individual pages from there. GB noted that it will be interesting to see if this changes in the months after the next release, when the "disciplinary tables of contents" are more foregrounded on the front page. We wondered whether it was possible to find out how many people used our search box to find contents in the Guidelines, and whether Google search might give us a breakdown of that. HC doesn't think it is, but he will investigate.

5. GB never sent the email about EpiDoc/CIDOC correspondence. *Shame him until he does!*

6. EpiDoc release 8.22: we tried to identify priorities for bugs or feature requests for this release, but nothing major was proposed. Bug 127 (whitespace) is a documentation issue, which EMy will fix in GLS; Bug 137 (sch and rng namespaces) will be looked at by HC as a matter of priority. FR 81 (g @ref) is probably out of scope for this release; FR 94 (bibliography handling) would be nice to see, but probably also too big for the next few weeks. EMy will send an email to Markup asking for suggestions around the beginning of June.

7. EMy reported on her recommendations for improving internal navigation of the GLs (https://sourceforge.net/p/epidoc/feature-requests/84/). EMy and GB to discuss and bring a concrete proposal to the group, as per last comment on ticket.

8. CT raised the question of stable versions of the EpiDoc Guidelines (https://sourceforge.net/p/epidoc/feature-requests/104/). GB reminded that last time this was discussed, it was decided that keeping a full HTML version of the guidelines at the Stoa for every release was not desirable, among other things because of the confusion of having multiple pages with potentially conflicting information about the same elements. The suggestion was to point to (a) tagged versions of XML in the SVN repository, and (b) zipped HTML bundles in SourceForge (https://sourceforge.net/projects/epidoc/files/Guidelines/) for citation. CT created a ticket for further discussion, because she felt better versioning was warranted.

9. Next sprint: Tuesday June 21, at 15:00 BST (=10:00 EDT=09:00 CDT=16:00 CEDT=17:00 EEST). This will focus mainly on the impending release, which will be within a couple days of going into freeze.
