Meeting 3: (12/16/2021)

Attendance: Bob Therriault, Art Anger, Raul Miller , Jonathan Hough, Will Gajate

Near-term goals (targeting end-of-February):

  • Introductory J videos (for new users)
    • A good example of introductory videos for the q/kdb language is Jeff Borror's Q KDB videos
  • Draft of new front-page (possibly via Redirect)
  • New Wiki feature: "Try J" - browser-based J console with labs (Will G., Jon H., Michael W. to tackle)
    • Web-based J Console Demo Joe Bogner, Michael Wallace in the forums (perhaps we can replicate and update the console to new J version, then embed in wiki)
    • J console server, not ideal for embedding from wiki.
    • Blender J Jupyter notebook, takes a 5 minutes to spin up notebook.
    • Can the J labs be incorporated into the "Try J" playground on the wiki? (Bob T.)
  • How best to highlight the ASCII search feature (Advanced Search/Code Search)? (Bob T.
    • Can we use a combination of the Media Wiki search and Chris Burke's J search?
    • Can we include categories in search to allow searching within specific areas of the wiki?
  • What are other languages doing with their wikis. (Raul M.)
  • Can we develop an introduction to J for more experienced programmers as well as beginners? (Art A.)

Questions for further development:

  • How best to highlight or categorize essays?
