I didn't write this on Monday because I tend to either be doing it right after the meeting or forgetting it until a couple of days later. The meeting was very productive, and I'm glad about how it went. Similar to the other recaps, I'm just going to summarize what happened using the Meeting Agenda ( #33 ).
Next Meeting: 24 February 2020
Recap:
Mark-up
We haven't done most of the mark-up due to busy schedules. We thought the best plan of action would be to make a due date in hopes that we can get it done soon.
Since we plan to meet up on Feb 29, we're going to make that the "due date" and check up on the process. If we aren't as far as we want to be, our definite due date is Mar 6, the day before spring break starts.
Weekends are best for people, and some members mentioned maybe having time then to start.
Project Checkpoint 3
Thanks, @frabbitry, and @BMT45 for giving us feedback for PC 3!
We looked over their comments and pulled out the ones we wanted to discuss, mostly about the input that Fiona gave about maps.
Some of the feedback we can work on if we ever get time to do Unmasking the Teen Titans (ex. navigation bar).
Maps
Action on Lauren to look over suggestions given by Fiona
Shannon mentioned that she wasn't too sure what I was looking for, so I'll try to make a general outline/blueprint of what I'm thinking for the map.
As I made the to-do list, Shannon and I discussed the essentials. It's going to be a fictional map since we will have to interpret the information.
Inspiration:
Undertale (http://undertale.newtfire.org/)
For their project last year, they made a map, and it's similar to what I'm imagining what we're going to do.
Pokemon (http://pokemon.newtfire.org/)
While our primary focus is making the map, another idea could use an image and add images of each location, giving background as the pokemon team did.
Amber had a fantastic idea where we have clickable parts on the map that link out to the episode scripts that mention the location! Magnificent, marvelous, show-stopping!
We're hoping to be able to work on the map during spring break.
Schema Revisions
During the workday in class, I decided we should do a locationList alongside the characterList. Similar to the mark-up of the comics, and it's going to be helpful down the line.
P.S. I chose locationList because there's a location tag in the body of the XML document.Note: Brad, this is the last apology I will give; sorry for telling you "no" in my madness. You were only trying to help.
It's <locationList> and inside <locationList>, we have <locList id="">[Name of place]</locList>
The system is to discern what name we want to use for each place. <location> is for any location name is the document even if it's the same location. For example, <location>museum</location> and <location>gallery</location> would be marked in the document overall. However, in the <locationList>, there's only one element to describe both: <locList id="muse">Musuem</locList>. We decide what we want to name of the location to be and list that in the <locationList>.<location> is a backup system, but also to help to look for locations in the document (XPath!).
Info/Ideas:
It didn't hit me until right now, but since I was in charge of the comic XML, I kept the ids consistent. If we make different ids for the same location, we might have a problem.
Since we would have <location> elements that have "the same" <locList> (see example above), should we indicate that there are the same somehow?
<locationList> has to be done manually versus <characterList> where you could do it via Regex.
Amber wanted me to go over the <action> tag again. Let me know if anyone has any other questions.
Speaking of the <action> tag, Shannon mentioned that she didn't see the point of doing the with="" attribute. Amber mentioned she thinks it would be helpful. We will discuss it again after we did more mark-up to find out the verdict.
I'm not sure that I should change the with="" attribute to ID:REF because it might be beneficial the way it is now. Since we don't plan to do Terra's route, we could add her name to the with="" attribute.
Project Checkpoint 4
It would not be ideal to be surprised by this checkpoint like the others, so I brought it up.
Due: 06 March 2020
The Project Midterm Sprint is for spring break, but it mentioned for Project Checkpoint 4, we want to start uploading what we have on Mar 6. Technically, the due date is Mar 16.
Focus on finishing XML for Mar 6!
Movie Night
The date is Feb 29, and we're planning for 5:15 pm. Amber has a meeting on campus, so it's more whenever she finishes.
After the meeting, Amber re-did the math, and it's going to be closer to 5 hours to finish it.
Maybe reconsider starting earlier and then re-grouping at 5:15 pm, so Fiona and Amber don't have to be on campus until 11 pm?
Location: The Shaw Game Room
Unmasking The Teen Titans ( #25 )
No progress
Similar to the other pressing work, we're hoping to be able to work on things we need to fix either during the rest of this month or during spring break. Both Fiona and Brad's comments mentioned issues that we needed to adjust for a while.
I might update it.
For some reason, the recap was longer than usual, even though the meeting itself was shorter. That's all for now, and I'll put up the meeting schedule for next week sometime before Monday.
