Transcriber Notes 2023-09-06

An addendum to Typescript 2023-09-06.

JM: I failed to press SAVE before disconnecting, so about 40-45min was lost at the end.

Some of this was an exploration of Viki's work using the I Ching hexagrams and rendering the dynamics of their interactions in Federated Wiki, including using Graphviz diagrams similar to the Lineup Diagram. The Unicode for the hexagram glyphs themselves doesn't quite work on FedWiki for page titles because of how the "slug" handling works.

The slug-ification code ends up with only the alphanumeric part of the Unicode entity code, so a page like http://jeff.dojo.fed.wiki/view/welcome-visitors/view/x4dc2 ALMOST works, but fails to dispatch correctly from Recent Changes for some reason.

Some of this is captured in Transcript Suggestions including discussions with Robert Sterbal about usability of transcripts and indexes, and an investigation of how Ward's scripts on Typescript Index do their thing.

Form of a frame script (format or index):

1. a div with static content: "Working"

2. javascript, starting with common definitions

3. a click handler script which takes the asset, reads the lines of text from the asset, and produces a ghost page to be added to the lineup

4. the transcript text files taken from the Assets folder, rendered as a list of names, each decorated with a click handler and added to the starting content of the frame
