Grant, make sure the post dates for the events are correct. The file name should reflect the date of the event.

not just project pages

Grant, Phil, DT shoud get credit for designing and maintaining the site. I started writing up a project in the public-discourse section retroactively describing our design goals. We are doing something innovative here--Programming Historian is the only other place I know that uses GitHub for publishing. We should articulate our design choices clearly in this post--it might be interesting to someone down the line and it gives us credibilty with publishers intersted in retooling their publishing stack.

Grant, I was getting stuck wiring this. Can you take a quick stab and reassign to me?

Many of our students consider the common experience of encountering core texts, together, at the same time, transformative and a corner-stone of their Columbia undergraduate identity. Seeing incoming first years in September, on the steps of Low Library, in coffee shops, and on the train, reading the same red-covered edition of the Iliad is unique to us. And yet the commonality of that experience rarely extends beyond the texts and individual seminars, and perhaps a bit to the communal living environment, where students naturally discuss their course work and compare notes. Using innovative, state-of-the art tools for online participation, we propose to solidify that common sense of purpose by encouraging conversations across the core more formally, and making that conversation an integral part of our shared pedagogy. With this proposal we have the chance to retool the Core for the twenty first century, in a way that answers to the ideals of the texts taught in the program.

I am also wondering what happens when there are two conflicting urls for the same name in two different posts. Can we test for that?

Grant, please update it to correspond with the corrections she send by email.

add logic for variable snippets

Borrow the sidenotes idea.

to talk about Pandoc, Philosophy, and Haskell

When the visitor is on the "events" page, for example, "events" should be highlighted. Check http://denten.plaintext.in/ for how that works and model after the code at https://github.com/denten/denten.github.io to rewrite header.html in the _includes.

This might break our links. Let's check if feasible. Jonathan, can you take a look?

include the words "new research methods"

The idea is to reconfigure the group every year and to archive last year's work. Perhaps more often.

Alex, do you have a paragraph from the recent grant proposal. Can add it as a type: grant object for now. Could also go to public discourse.

A word about encounters and GitHub visible labor etc, discrete projects etc.

The encoutners page should be the home for the talk series

There should be a _data/ folder with a yaml file containing the list of participants along with a mapping their personal websites / twitter profile / link of choice.

We should then automatically wrap the names on the people page with appropriate links. Hope that is possible!

per conversation with Dennis

test more extensively on mobile

As seen in Jonah's piece.

To highlight the events more prominently.

make a div for cats that is indented form the title and navigation

it should grab all the links and ping

Barbara Herrnstein Smith's May 6 event isn't showing at the top of the events list, even though it's published. I'm guessing this has something to do with the size of the page, as all of the events fill the size of the text column to the right. Maybe adding some blank space to events.md at the bottom of the text would fix it.

Events need time! Grant, please go through all the events and add a time YAML tag. I've already added the logic to the layout. The YAML tag is hour since time is reserved.

If we put "updates" first and the snippet just takes the first x-words, aren't we getting the updates for the project descriptions?
