Apr 18 - Apr 29, 2022
Report on iteration Apr 18, 2022 — Apr 29, 2022 (includes all issues completed before May 2, 2022).
This iteration we made progress on Geniza and closed out several issues for Startwords. We weren’t able to get a release out with the Geniza updates due to team commitments and availability at the end of the iteration, but we hope to get a release out early this iteration with the completed work. Our development velocity is fairly steady at 5 points, but we closed 8 development points and 17 issues. We’re also continuing to make good progress with design work on both projects.
Geniza
Notable work includes improvements to the public search — a filter for documents with images, options to sort by input date and shelfmark, and our first foray into Judaeo-Arabic conversion, making it possible to search on Judaeo-Arabic transcription content when inputting Arabic search terms. We updated the admin document view so that it uses the same image and transcription viewer as the public site, and improved the display and functionality in the IIIF image rights in that section. We also made progress on RTL design implementations, resolved a long-standing font loading issue in Percy, and finally set up Sphinx code documentation. We’re continuing to make progress on design and development for the new transcription functionality, although we have not yet been able to deliver it for testing.
Startwords
We finalized designs for the new author list and linking to the author page in the footer, and completed testing on issues for reading articles and issues in translation and toggling between languages. We delivered a draft version of Issue 3 to the contributors with their revisions, so we are getting closer to publishing this issue.
