== Report of Meeting 2023-06-08 == Present: Raul Miller and Bob Therriault
Full transcripts of this meeting are now available on the its wiki page. https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Wiki/Report_of_Meeting_2023-06-08 1) Bob started off by saying that he had decided to not move the CSS to the template page and Raul pointed out that he could just use the template CSS going forward and would not need to change the previous pages that had already been created. Bob also acknowledged that it would be better to do things the right way, as he had already seen pages that had been assembled in the "easiest" way with results that needed more clean-up. He decided to take another look at moving the CSS from the individual page https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Help/Primer/001Start_here to the template. https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Nav/primer (Editor's note: This has been done subsequent to the recording of this meeting.) 2) Bob moved on to the goals that he had for his work on the wiki over the summer. Principally, to update the Primer to serve as a current document for newcomers. Complete the Newcomers category tree https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Category:Newcomers_N so that newcomers would not be exposed to the current information holes because of missing pages and then push out the new look pages on the wiki in the fall. 3) Raul wondered about what it would take to recreate Ed's current wiki browser in HTML rather than requiring the JQt framework. This would enable any user to be given better access to the wiki. Raul pointed out that the real challenge would be to incorporate the forums into HTML as they have a different format. 4) Bob thought that after the new look had been introduced then he would be taking a look at NuVoc https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/NuVoc to make the information more current. Raul thought that Addons would be the thing that he would like to focus on, https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Vocabulary/Libraries creating a standard page that had documentation on verbs and constants and examples of how to use the particular Addons. 5) Raul talked about the feasibility of rewriting JQt to better support threading. It is big project and would involve rewriting in C++ so that you could have parallel threads. This is a project for the future 6) Raul showed that he had introduced sortable columns on the invisible modifiers page. https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Vocabulary/ModifierTrains 7) More discussion of NuVoc presentation and Raul's suggestion of having expandable sections. There would be sections that would be initially collapsed that would contain further information that would be easily accessible. This would allow information that is important to be quickly visible and further information to be accessible for those who might be interested.
