Project Update 04/04/2019

Things we did this week:

Fixed a rather complicated merging issue
Finished transcribing, marking up, and associating schemas to all of our XML documents
Fixed some inconsistencies in our markup
Developed our home page
Completed a dropdown menu (that works!)
Created a physical, drawn site map
Created a "skeleton" for the rest of our website with working xhtml documents w/ placeholder information
Divided the remaining site pages equally among ourselves

For next week:

Make significant progress on the development of the pages
Start pulling data from our documents
Write up all of the writing portions of the website (research question, methodology, the future, etc..

It seems like you've done a lot of work in the site and marking up the xml documents. Have you pulled any of the data yet? Do you have an idea of what conclusions you'll be able to draw from the data?

Hey, just playing around with the site just now. I really like the aesthetic: cool colors and the orange lines on either side of the colored divs make it feel really "tactile", like two plates on a table. Cool implicit metaphor.

My question is: have you thought about color blind testing or other disabilities aide at all? The gray with black text, in particular, might be hard to see. Not sure.

I addressed those concerns just this week for our project. I was able to find a little program to help me choose colorblind friendly colors with this website: http://colorsafe.co/

@MLuckman We are in the process of pulling data right now. We are thinking that we will most likely see a significant number of null subjects within the memes.

@engeljonathan98 We absolutely had not thought of that but thank you so much for bringing that to our attention! We are going straight to that website this week and adding it to one of our goals for our weekly meeting. Great insight!!
