== Report of Meeting 2023-11-16 == Present: Art Anger, 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_2023-11-16 1) Bob had received Ed's footage of his demo and there was a discussion about the audio that he had used. It was decided that Bob would use the existing audio and Ed would review and then there would be a decision on when to publish. Bob might also rerecord the audio if that was Ed's preference. https://youtu.be/SLJS84u4eVc 2) Ed changed the category list on the J viewer back to a Qt list instead of his previous expandable version. The performance has improved. Raul noted that the new version requires that you scroll at the end of the list, whereas it used to autoscroll. Ed wants to be able to have SQLlite do line numbers in GitHub results because those results tend to be larger. 3) Ed talked about attempting to include information of Skip Cave's Quora solutions. Quora seems to be resisting attempts to have Ed crawl the site. This is an ongoing investigation. Bob wondered if there might be a place in the J wiki for Skip to include some of his solutions. Bob is currently going through the essays on the wiki to select ones that might be most appropriate for Newcomers. Raul mentioned also that Journal of J could be included https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/JournalOfJ. There are links on the wiki, but the content of the Journal of J is not on the wiki. Bob had some reluctance to dump their content onto the wiki and Ed said that he would need their permission before crawling their site. 4) Ed feels that the J Viewer is ready for prime time and will start by posting to the J forums after the demo video is published. Bob suggested that the fact that it is in JQt should be noted for those users who access through the console. Raul asked that updates for Windows be thoroughly tested before release to avoid extra noise. Bob asked about announcing on the ArrayCast. Announcing on the British APL Association is another possibility and might be pursued for their next meeting. 5) Bob tested the new J viewer and ran into a few problems due to the fact that he had made local changes to the addon in the process of troubleshooting. 6) Bob did a quick review of the work that he had been doing on the Newcomers page of the wiki. https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Category:Newcomers_N Additions are the Return to Home navigation link and removal of the Scripts category as there were not many scripts that would work for Newcomers. Raul suggested using larger font on the titles and Bob agreed. Bob is also going to take Developers off of the Home page until it is further developed. https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Category:Home The information would still be available through Reference. Ed asked about including the Category's on the page that would be more involved but would be accessible for those who wanted the more detailed view.
