Minutes October 2016


Present: Gabriel Bodard (GB), Hugh Cayless (HC), Pietro Liuzzo (PL), Laura Löser (LL), Emmanuelle Morlock (EMo), Elli Mylonas (EMy), Simona Stoyanova (SS), Scott Vanderbilt (SV)

Apologies: Scott DiGiulio, Charlotte Tupman, Polina Yordanova

 

  1. Release 8.23: we're still aiming for Feb 2017 (with Polina as release tech), but nothing specific to discuss yet—except that all items below should contribute to it, of course!
  2. Training events: one-day event in Barcelona, Nov 4, 2016; week-long workshop in London Apr 3-7; event for Dariah in Athens still being discussed; we should think about SoSOL training in Duke and/or London some time as well. Other possibilities may emerge in the meantime. (Not to mention a couple of advanced EpiDoc workshops if the EFES project gets off the ground next year.)
  3. The long-discussed tunnel parameters sprint in November should cover at least: 
    1. Tunnel parameters overview (to get everyone on the same page);
    2. EpiDoc XSLT and GL process overview
      1. including documentation of parameterisation
    3. Upgrading the Guidelines process to use Tunnel params (rather than running 9x as currently)
    4. EMo will doodle for possible date(s) in 2d/3d weeks of Nov
  4. CETEIcean (browser-side, JS and CSS TEI transforms) as an EpiDoc processing platform:
    1. EMy asked about Guidelines generation. HC: would be complicated—perhaps to be kept in mind for the long term
    2. EpiDoc display: may be implemented for Digital Latin Library (DLL)/IIP; GB: issue of parametrization needs to be addressed for more general EpiDoc use; HC: this may be more of a working tool than a replacement for the XSLT even in the medium/long term.
    3. HC: DLL is using CETEIcean for the editing interface and preview mode, which is clean and faster than server-side XSLT transformations.
  5. TEI ODD chaining:
    1. HC reports: DLL now calls specific release of TEI and EpiDoc to validate different sections
    2. EpiDoc should publish compiled ODD
    3. This is a solution to FR #96 (Dunning and DLL and Perseus etc.)
    4. HC has created ticket FR #119 with the agreed solution to this issue for EpiDoc.
  6. Bibliography handling sprint (cf FR #98): PL will send Doodle for meeting
  7. Tickets: t/b/continued
    1.  Polina has separately reminded us that she is also about to set up a mini-sprint to discuss FR #81 (on upgrading EpiDoc guidance and stylesheets to use g/@ref instead of @type).

  8. Next meeting: Tuesday, November 15, 2016: 15h00 UTC
