Wiki/Report of Meeting 2022-04-07

Report on the J wiki meeting of April 7, 2022

Present: Art Anger, Raul Miller, Bob Therriault

The J Playground - The J Playground is impressive and is providing everything that the wiki currently requires, although more uses may be found in the future. It was mentioned that we should confirm that the J Playground will remain in its present location before including links in the wiki.
Importing Jsoftware information to the J Wiki - Raul has cleared up as much of the expired information and redundancy, but the question of how far the cleaning process goes before bringing it to the wiki remains. This is really a question for Eric and Chris. Bob will see if they might attend the next meeting to determine expectations going forward.
Community Engagement 1 - There was a lot of interest in Debug documentation this week and it would be good to capture this process as a model for future wiki work. The Plot page could be a good template. Debug's focus is maintenance and system support rather than attracting newcomers to J. Creating Debug documentation requires time and energy, but easily accessible user information could reduce individual questions and support those new to J.
Community Engagement 2 - A discussion about targeting community colleges to promote J, as their instructors may have more autonomy. There might be benefit in creating curriculum material for the wiki to support a pilot by a motivated instructor and provide leverage for use by other colleges in the future.
