2007-11-10Miser Project: Repaving Kick-OffTechnorati Tags: Miser Project, site repaving, web presence, site infrastructure, Progressive Development I mentioned that there is an important need for housekeeping when I proposed Whither Peano. The site has become seriously out of step with regard to my latest approach to organization and construction. In addition, I need to make a systematic review of the site to correct any broken links that resulted from moving to a site with case-sensitive HTTP resource names. There must be some broken links as well as outdated material. I will be repaving. It won't have anything to do with the technical content, but it will show up as editorial changes to the content. Also, new technical content will be provided under the new regime. As repaving progresses, you will see evidence of it in the pages that you visit and especially if you happen to visit any of the construction structure of the site. The construction structure, as for all of my sites, has materials that account for the construction of the site itself. One project in that material will be the repaving project. There will be ways to see what the current stage is and also see where the changes are occurring. Although it is not critical to the technical content, these changes do support the accountability, dependability, and transparency that I want to provide in every aspect of the Miser Project. There will be occasional progress reports. This activity will not inhibit the posting of more technical articles on the themes of Numbering Peano. Sometimes I may appear to be A.W.O.L. when I am actually down in the sewers fixing the plumbing. The model for the updated organization is exhibited in the ODMdev: ActiveODMA Development Framework site's Construction Structure. I shall introduce a corresponding structure and organization for the Miser Project. What I call Smart Librarianship Rules apply to this change. The idea is that, when changing a system of organization (such as a catalog system), new material (accessions) are brought in under the new scheme, with older materials converted as it becomes important, possibly because of intended new usage or updates. Other changes are left to opportunistic treatment on a whenever-I-get-around-to-it basis. The first changes provide an on-ramp for the progressive introduction of further changes. For the Miser Project, there is urgent need to revise two major portions of the site on which most other material depends: the front porch consisting of those pages at the root of the http://miser-theory.info/ URL, and the Construction Material section having all of the bits used in carrying out the repaving. The first is the anchor for expanding changes to the construction structure and the content materials requiring the next-immediate attention. The second can be done piece-meal, but it must start out organized well enough that major disruptions in this material will not be coming later. In particular, a document for tracking the repaving itself is maintained in the Construction Material section, which also holds templates used on pages throughout the site. The first changes only deal with plumbing of the site. Another change, after the plumbing is refitted, is to provide Creative Commons license information on the pages of the site, in the same way as done for ODMdev. I might stick with the Attribution 2.5 for now just to have the changes be accomplished as quickly as possible. Because the changes are piece-meal, there is a problem about knowing the status of changes in different parts of the site. I also need to tell quickly where the repaving is completed. This is accomplished by leaving placeholders in various construction structure and construction work-item pages on the site. This is for my own sanity in noticing where there are opportunities to do a little repaving while I am working on a portion of the site, and to know that I don't have anything new to do in other places. My urgency about this is my pent-up urge to create a large number of new items for Miser Project. I need a way to avoid rework for the new material and to accomplish the repaving while there is not so much existing material to repair.
