1 year ago Thanks for the excellent update, Allison! We really appreciate how committed your team is to peer review; this will greatly increase the cohesion of your project's code moving forward. It's also very nice to see that you all have discussed specific aspects of the site's design, so that once the reading view is ready, you'll know how you'll want it to be presented to the user. Looking forward to seeing the results of your XSLT!
Meeting Overview
Ben started the meeting by taking another look at the website design, which Matt has made continual progress on. Colors have been changed, and is home page and nav bar are looking really good.
Peer Review:
-Everyone is using all of the emotes and all of the factors, but in different proportions.
-We reviewed the general observations posted on the project board. -We changed the schema to fix the discrepancies with the s_group and opener. Once Allison pushes that change through it should allow that everyone to make peer review edits by next project meeting.
-Some slight mixup with who was reviewing whose documents.
Moving forward: Let's make future peer review ongoing - I will continue reading Jake's, Jake will continue reading Matt's, and Matt will continue reading mine as time permits. If anybody makes major changes to their own set, they can let their reviewer know to take another look. Trying to stay focused on making the body of the letters all homogenous for XSLT transformations rather than worrying too much about factors.
Website: We're talking about what our reading view will look like. Some favorite designs include: -- Emily Dickinson & Ellipsis -- Genius Van Gogh
Thoughts on our future design
One navigational bar on the left side, to select factors to colorize/highlight. One accordion style nav bar across the top that organizes letters by year with the individual letters by last name when you click the year. Should the reading pane show individual letters or can it potentially show multiple letters at once? Leaning towards a single letter reading pane. Matt might have a sample accordion pane working over the weekend.
Action items for next week: -Next week we will have completed XSLT through #6. We can have some more concrete designs for the reading pane by then, either sketched or maybe code samples? -Ongoing peer review/ fixing our markup. -Will we use some javascript on the reading pane? Check out the javascript for the Dickinson page.
