Present: Art Anger, Raul Miller, Bob Therriault
• The J Playground - The J Playground is impressive and is providing
everything that the wiki currently requires, although more uses may be found in
the future. It was mentioned that we should confirm that the J Playground will
remain in its present location before including links in the wiki.
• Importing Jsoftware information to the J Wiki - Raul has cleared up
as much of the expired information and redundancy, but the question of how far
the cleaning process goes before bringing it to the wiki remains. This is
really a question for Eric and Chris. Bob will see if they might attend the
next meeting to determine expectations going forward.
• Community Engagement 1 - There was a lot of interest in Debug
documentation this week and it would be good to capture this process as a model
for future wiki work. The Plot page could be a good template. Debug's focus is
maintenance and system support rather than attracting newcomers to J. Creating
Debug documentation requires time and energy, but easily accessible user
information could reduce individual questions and support those new to J.
• Community Engagement 2 - A discussion about targeting community
colleges to promote J, as their instructors may have more autonomy. There might
be benefit in creating curriculum material for the wiki to support a pilot by a
motivated instructor and provide leverage for use by other colleges in the
future.
