Oct 4 - Oct 15, 2022
Report on iteration Oct 3, 2022 — Oct 14, 2022 (includes all issues completed before Oct 17, 2022).
Another high point iteration, as we made the final push to finish work for the CDH/Geniza Research Partnership. For development, we closed 18 points across 31 issues, resulting in a rolling velocity of 18.67 (exactly the same as last iteration). Design also had a big push, closing 14 points across 9 issues.
Geniza
We released v4.9 of Princeton Geniza Project mid-iteration. This was a major update which included the long-awaited transcription migration from TEI to the new W3C annotation format, and rolled out the new transcription editor tool, annotorious-tahqiq. This includes full functionality needed to add, edit, and delete transcriptions with support for right-to-left text, as well as a new automated backup that synchronizes transcription content to a GitHub repository, with co-author commits to track contributions. As part of this release, we also loaded a number of new images from Bodleian and JRL collections. After the release went out, we started tackling bugs with the editor not found in testing and finishing the remaining committed functionality for the CDH/PGP charter, prioritizing search improvements for sunsetting PGPv3 and CSV exports for data publication, with a smaller amount of effort going to localization functionality.
Lenape Timetree
We made significant progress on sitemap and wireframe designs for this project, making a big push to get things ready for development while design is paused for a month.
