Expo Systems To-Do List

How this works

Click twice on a sub-heading to reveal the individual to-do items. Click again to hide.
If a heading is in italics, then there are hidden items.

Click on the main "How this works" heading to toggle reveal/hide everything.

Printing this page uses a much smaller font. Complain to the nerd list if you don't like this behaviour.

Edit this page by clicking on the big blue button. It uses the same "Edit this page" function that you may have used before. Just be careful not to touch the code at the top and bottom of the page.

We are working on a more capable and easier-to-use system which will mimic how GitHub Issues do this sort of thing.

To see the "data maintenance" and "survey data-entry" to-do lists, go to the other TO-DO list

Process Documentation

Surveys data entry documentation

Write code to automatically extract ref info about wallets from tunnel xml files

This will replace :drawings:chk-xml.txt as used by :drawings:check-xml.sh

Do similar for Therion files when people start using #REF comments

2019 surveyscans

edit all the content.json files

try to autocomplete the content.json by parsing .svx files

Put personal names into canonical form

2014 contents.json

parse all the svx files to extract people, dates & svx references

Handbook

Desperately needs Navigation - Location Context, Situational Awareness

No overall view of what there is: need a user-friendly diagrammatic overview sitemap. There are 4,869 files in :expoweb:

Not fixed by menus - breadcrumbs needed?

Diagrams of major sections: survey handbook, rigging handbook, computing handbook, Areas, cave data..

Chase Airoa to help fix the menus for phones

Look at gov.uk guidelines for inspiration

Areas and prospecting guides

Areas (these are the sub-areas)

Downgrade the "areas" aspect of the documentation as we don't use these now

Prospecting Guides & slippy map & GPS tracks

Redesign to be used as overlay on phone/tablet using essentials.gpx data

Replace jpeg images in prospecting_image with OpenStreetMaps data

This whole subsystem needs a good examination and possible rewriting. :expoweb:/noinfo/prospecting_guide_scripts

Photos

Fix the BINS package (Wookey is looking for replacement)

set up git on the BINS software? Fix base url sautret.org

set up a cron / Makefile job to run BINS

why is 'updatephotos' script in expofiles?

Document the ~expo/webphotos/ directory and how it works

Why does expofiles/photos/xml/ get created containing all the generated xml files? Fix this.

galley thumbs etc.

:expoweb:/galley/0.htm thumbnails not loading

Laptop config.

imagemagick convert

Not working for PDFs on current version of xubuntu ! Fix & document. Also not working on WSL ubuntu. Needed to work with logbook images easily & to extract PDFs, JPEGs. Need to edit /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml cromwell-intl.com/open-source/pdf-not-authorized.html

System Documentation

Document how we generate the SMK overall lengths and stats

scripts and manual actions in cavern

smklengths.sh script

smklengsths.odt

:loser:/docs/ files

Questions.txt

SMKlog.txt

Troggle architecture

Regenerate the diagram of the tables in the database & document

Describe the parsing/import procedures so non-nerds can do it

Copy [some of] the .wiki material into the documentation somewhere?

Surveyscans

explain where the image files are referenced from: svx, tunnel/therion, and

Be exhaustive in checking all the broken links between svx & wallets

non-troggle scripts

DOCUMENT them all - have we got ? //expofiles/unidentified_scripts/ !

Makefile

Get it working ! How many of other scripts should be in it ? Should we do data imports to schedule too ?

Troggle

QM links in cave descriptions ALL BROKEN

There are HREF links to individual QMs in the cave description in e.g. 204 Swings and Roundabouts such as "At the bottom there is a climb down over boulders [C2001-204-45 C]." where the troggle URL fails completely.

Better import error messages

REPORT 'folder not recognised' errors into error log inside database -> "DataIssue" register

Troggle parser/viewer

Explain how FLATPAGES work. refer to computing/hbmanual1.html

Completely new design of QM management needed

see QM status and redesign needed document

jQuery version and remove all unused CSS and JS files

jQuery used for Edit This Page very very VERY out of date. Reinstate TinyMCE too ?

19 names don't work in folk/troggle

there are 3 separate name parsers: in the folk script, and two in different bits of troggle.

Django migrations documentation needed

How to upgrade python version, django version, django-plugins versions, pip install and useful/essential tools such as python -Wall manage.py check -v 3.

django-estensions usefulness. Explain/document why troggle still needs database migraitons even though we rebuild it afresh each time

Troggle Refactoring

Make parsers use generators to yield one line at a time

Both recursive load and linear load parsers/survex could do this.

In the logbooks parsing and cache loading.

Replace assert() with dataIssue [NOTIFICATION pattern] or Exceptions

https://martinfowler.com/articles/replaceThrowWithNotification.html

Python documentation: Django's use of modern unobvious idioms

[DECORATOR] pattern used for login-required pages

Get all trogglistas to read https://ebookscart.com/effective-python-by-brett-slatkin-pdf-download/ - downloded to /expofiles/

Get all trogglistas to read https://martinfowler.com/tags/refactoring.html

Flatfiles is used to deliver CSS and JS for django admin pages,

staticfiles django plugin broken, not needed so use flatfiles but fix awkradnesses such as /expofiles/ directory listing not working

Expo Server

document cgit installation and config

as per Wookey on new server Debian 10

document directory structure

as per Julian's GitHub list - then close that issue. Use 'tee' to cretae ascii art for this.

permissions

do we need a cron job or has the group membership fix fixed it ? either way, document it.

Makefile - and permissions.

Apache & MySQL configuration

DOCUMENT How to set up a server

Fix and document permissions for cron jobs

Document "anacron" / cron system on server

Explain why Docker containers can be a maintenance nightmare unless built from a script

/expofiles/ needs config , refer to apache/django docm.

admin/doc/ BROKEN PAGE needs config - refer to django docm.

This to-do-list gadget itself

Status

Make it only click once to change display state of the DT tag

Eventual aim

to replace GitHub CUCCexposurveyissues for non-tunnel, non-GIS issues.

Try to automate simple functions in javascript

to control this document in-place (tick, delete) instead of using the tinymce HTML editor in Django

Maybe restructure whole page as JSON and use javascript editor to create (edit), re-order and demote items.

if using tinymcs, use the INLINE mode.

Implement comments on an issue, mimicking GitHub issues wiki

Use javascript to skip over the _edit page and submit changes direct to server when updating. Needs direct POST and include the javascript in the posted content.

checkboxes so that items can be ticked (which also does strike-through)

promotion/demotion options?

bin icon to delete an item? Better to have an archive process.

Local WSL server

Why is it using recuced-capability tinymce, a paths problem ?

Italics management

Put DL into italics when *any* DD is hidden
