Present: Art Anger, Raul Miller and Bob Therriault 1) Bob showed some of the work he has been doing on the wiki structure. https://code2.jsoftware.com/wiki/Main_Page He has been using an ability to rename pages as a way to make navigation easier, since the file structure shows up if the page is not renamed which is a problem when you have content brought together from different parts of the wiki. Bob was still working on removing the breadcrumbs from the pages which have a similar problem with exposing the file structure.
2) Bob want so use Nav Bars https://code2.jsoftware.com/wiki/Nav/Main on main pages down to certain level, but not for every page since that would make it too difficult to have other people add pages. Nav Bars on the main pages should not have to change very much because at that level there are not too many changes other than tweaks to content. 3) Bob is working through a problem with having different content for different areas. For example, the Newcomers version of Essays would be different than the full Reference version of Essays. This would mean that there would need to be more curation on the Newcomers section to ensure that the information is appropriate for learning the language. Raul suggested that Bob talk to Henry Rich and Cliff Reiter to use their experience with teaching learners. Bob also felt that Ian Clark would be a good resource. 4) Bob and Raul discussed using the Archived folder https://code2.jsoftware.com/wiki/Archived as a repository for expired pages and Raul suggested the orphan pages are good candidates for Archived. 5) Raul walked Bob through the process of clearing the cache on his wiki pages to update the favicon icons on the tabs. 6) Bob had also been doing work on the Add-ons section and included a Developer's Checklist that he updated from the SVN repository version to the new Github version. https://code2.jsoftware.com/wiki/Addons/Developers_Checklist 7) Bob's next step is to develop the Essay section similar to the way that the Add-ons was done. He would plan to include the work that Art had done on Essays as an index to the Essay groupings. https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Anger/Essays_Index For access to previous meeting reports https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Wiki_Development If you would like to participate in the development of the J wiki please contact us on the general forum and we will get you an invitation to the next J wiki meeting held on Thursdays at 23:00 (UTC) Next meeting is October 27th, 2022. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
