== Report of Meeting 2023-08-17 == Present: Ed Gottsman, Raul Miller, and Bob Therriault
Full transcripts of this meeting are now available on the its wiki page. https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Wiki/Report_of_Meeting_2023-08-17 1) Ed updated on Live Search and has made it a local database search which is pretty quick. The biggest challenge is relevance ranking and that requires that you get all of the results before you can assess the relevance rank. The challenge discussed in depth was the fact that the first character entered creates a large result response, before the second character re-initiates the search. Details can be reviewed in the transcript. 2) A discussion of how to go about updating the database now that there is a large SQL database and a smaller log database. The interface may need to be addressed if the databases remain separate. 3) Bob showed that the results in Live Search don't exactly match the result on the webpage. This was determined to be html and wiki markup that does not show on the web page. There was discussion on the solutions to this that can be reviewed in the transcript. 4) Bob initiated a discussion about how Live Search, the Playground and the curation of the wiki would work together in the best possible way. The attempt is to try and develop the components in a way that the end result will be better. Bob talked about J Playground being used in NuVoc and Ed mentioned that he wondered whether J Playground should be in the J Wiki Browser. Bob thought that the Playground does not have to have a link in the wiki browser if it An example Bob gave was whether the Reference section of categorization has been replaced by Live Search. This would mean that categorization in Reference may need to be done differently. Other areas such as Developer and Newcomer would require curation to make sure that the information is appropriate to the audience. Bob felt that this is the time to review that because it is not yet in use. This is a foundation for further discussion. 5) Raul asked if New Pages could be added to the Sidebar, since they often indicate new areas of development. Bob said that he would add that.
