Re: [Jgeneral] can't load math/cal in j9.4 or j9.5 beta
Thanks for alerting me to this 4 year old situation, which I had quite forgotten about. I am the owner of https://github.com/earthspot/math_cal -an experimental version of the addon: math/cal . There is no good reason why I should continue to own it. I recommend jsoftware takes it over, and give permission for https://github.com/earthspot/math_cal to be cloned for the purpose. Ditto the associated addons: https://github.com/earthspot/math_uu https://github.com/earthspot/math_tabula Ian Clark On Wed, 9 Aug 2023 at 14:55, chris burke wrote: > Thanks for pointing this out. > > The repo for the addon is https://github.com/earthspot/math_cal, see > the source directory .

[Jgeneral] Report of the J Wiki Meeting of August 3, 2023
== Report of Meeting 2023-08-03 == Present: Art Anger, Chris Burke, Ed Gottsman, 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_2023-08-03 1) We began answering Chris' question of when we would be done with the prototype wiki,https://code2.jsoftware.com/wiki/Category:Home with Bob saying that we were pretty much done now. Chris said he would bring a new machine that would incorporate a newer version of the MediaWiki and he would let us know when that change would be made in the next month. The prototype would be left up for a few weeks after and then taken down. If information from the prototype wiki is required after that the machines will just be left offline and information can still be retrieved. Target date for the new machine is September 1st. 2) We started off with a discussion about Live Search and there was some confusion between the Live Search and the J wiki Browser. Chris said the J Wiki browser was working well for him on Unix although Chris did not think he was a target for the application since he knows the wiki pretty well. Ed presented the challenges with Live Search which is an application that is based on his machine and requires some local storage. Ed then did a demo of Live Search which allows extensive search of forums and wiki for J glyphs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IId4hgTKp08 Chris wondered how the page sources were being done and Ed said he had written a crawler. Chris said that he already has the pages in a database in text form at about 50 megabytes. Ed clarified that it was 1.25 gigabytes because it included forum posts as well. Ed thought that it would be useful to have access to Chris' files as it would solve page crawling challenges. Raul felt that the plaintext file is separate from URL's and Chris confirmed that the titles which are URL's are separate from the plaintext. 3) Discussion moved on to forum information and the forums have been stored on google groups for the last 12 years with Mailman as the member that distributes the information to the forums. Ed felt that if he has access to the forum information he could work with that. Chris felt that if Ed had an account on the group then the information could be downloaded as well. Chris said he would provide Ed with links to the files and scripts to facilitate this. Posts earlier than 2012 may need to be accessed from other files and Ed already has access to pre 2012 posts. Bob wondered if Live Search required JQt and Ed pointed out that the search mechanism is not tied to JQt but could feed html results. The J Wiki Browser is definitely tied to JQt. 4) Bob is moving his focus to updating the Primer and getting the wiki ready for the switchover. 5) Ed would like to extend the user base a little bit, with an emphasis on Unix users. Ed showed the 'rabbit hole' button that takes you back into forum posts within context of the threads. Bob felt that curation was aided immensely by being able to search the whole wiki for concepts to see where information is stored across the wiki. Ed is wondering whether non-curators would be as interested and whether it will get traction. Raul felt that he is a serial researcher and the J wiki Browser allows him to dive deep quickly. Raul also mentioned that the time information could be added to the forum threads so that it is a little easier to track. Ed showed the issue that he had overcome with threads crossing the months which was a bug that Chris had known about in Mailman. Ed would like to add 5 more people as testers that would indicate how much interest there might be. Bob felt that we could target individuals who were more likely to give feedback. Ed and Bob will put together a list of people to approach. 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 August 10th, 2023. -- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
Re: [Jgeneral] can't load math/cal in j9.4 or j9.5 beta
Thanks for pointing this out. The repo for the addon is https://github.com/earthspot/math_cal, see the source directory . The jsoftware original has been archived. Your fix works, but a slightly better change for 9.4 and 9.5 would be based on JVERSION_NUMBER, e.g. in the current beta: JVERSION_NUMBER 9050005 On Wed, Aug 9, 2023 at 6:09 AM Raul Miller wrote: > > J's math/cal has a version test which needs to be fixed. > > On line 25, > > if. 900 < ". }.

[Jgeneral] can't load math/cal in j9.4 or j9.5 beta
J's math/cal has a version test which needs to be fixed. On line 25, if. 900 < ". }. '/' taketo 9!:14'' do. should become if. 900 < ". }. '/' taketo rplc&'.0' 9!:14'' do. However, https://github.com/jsoftware/math_cal/blob/master/cal.ijs does not represent this script, so I cannot submit a fix through github.
