Progress!!!

I've been working on Wikiotics today. I finally figured out where in the javascript code I need to add a "delete" button. I just wrote in TEST to see if it worked. I have to add the button in the PictureChoiceGroupWidget() function in editor.js. So next steps towards delete functionality. 1. add a button 2. connect button to individual picture choice groups 3. send command back to python code to delete that picture choice group

Git Merging Galore

So I fixed the title bug in wikiotics today. I decided to change the code to simply search for a line that starts with "= " and then strip any '='s off the line. This is the simplest solution in my opinion. I also had a fun time learning how to apply patches from one git to another. That only took oh... two hours haha.

Django

So over the weekend and today I've familiarized myself with Django, the web framework Ductus is built on. It seems fairly intuitive so far. I've also been debating this ticket. My quick fix for the ticket was a little too general. Ductus currently uses the first line of Creole code for a wiki page as it's title. This becomes a problem when Creole syntax characters are in the line ('=, *, [['). I've been thinking about the best way to handle this problem. If there are images or external URL's in the first line this is even worse. You can't just strip off some Creole characters and put a URL in the title of a page. I think I'm going to look at posting the page's URL in the title. It doesn't make sense to pull information from the page unless we mandate a page title at the beginning of every page. ie "= English Lessons =". Otherwise we could pull the first line which is a link to something else. An example would be having a page listing spanish lessons with the first link being "spanish introduction". The current code would pull "spanish introduction" when it really should be something like "All Spanish Lessons".

Wikiotics "Day 1"

So It's Day 1 of my Wikiotics job. Today I'm trying to see about translating their intro lesson to ASL. Hopefully I can find some videos on youtube and embed them in the Ductus wiki. If I figure this out fast I'm going to look at finding a ticket I can close.

Hello Ductus

I just started my first "unofficial" day working on Wikiotics, a free open source language learning tool similar to Rosetta Stone. I just spent a couple hours today sifting through the code. I'm pumped to start in next week!
