Wiki/Report of Meeting 2022-03-31

Report on the J wiki meeting of March 31, 2022

Present: Art Anger, Jon Hough, Devon McCormick, Raul Miller, Bob Therriault

After some discussion it was decided that we would look at setting up the J playground as an independent project. It has accomplished much of what the J wiki requires with every indication that it will be able to do much more as its own project and part of that may be to find a better name as it is becoming much more than a place to play. Of course participation in the J wiki group would still be encouraged as there are strong ties between two projects. Kudos to Joe Bogner, Will Gajate and Jon Hough for the work that has contributed to the J Playgrounds successful development. https://jsoftware.github.io/j-playground/bin/html/emj.html#code='key%20sin(exp)%2Ccos(exp)'%20plot%20(%3B(sin%2C%3Acos)%40%3A%5E)%20-%3A%20%3E%3A%20i%3A3j100
A great deal of discussion on the help section being brought over from the jsoftware site and being set up with temporary reconnects to the index. This would allow the correct and current information be added gradually as it is reviewed. This is an ongoing challenge and Raul Miller has been working diligently to create a framework that will provide a good foundation for future development. https://code2.jsoftware.com/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page
This was followed by a discussion about the ways that we could build some projects that would encourage more involvement in the wiki. We will consider providing short tasks to clean up of imported pages as a way to encourage more participation by the community.
