===== What's to be done? =====
(this is the overall, conceptual blog: latest posts at the top)


:-\ where do you want me to start ...? --- //[[gregor.tanner@nottingham.ac.uk|Gregor Tanner]] 2009-03-08//


{{gtspring2009:pc.jpg }} Three [[http://chaosbook.org/boyscouts/index.html|kinds of edits]] are needed; 

=== clearheaded writing of new material / rewriting ===

  * check out/add to/edit [[:chaosbook:intro#desiderata|desiderata]]
  * [[chaosbook:conjug|Chapter "Get straight"]] needs to be rethought... Currently does not fit into the flow of the general argument.
  * ChaosBook.org lacks a bookcover - a page of web text that says what the book is about. Like what you see when you look up some book on Amazon.com. Niall has written the first draft. Finalize it - repository ChaosBook/backblurb.html

=== careful proofreading/completing nearly finished text ===

  * completing a chapter means [[http://chaosbook.org/boyscouts/editProtocol.html|completing it]].
  * [[chaosbook:measure|Transporting densities]], [[chaosbook:average|Averaging]], [[chaosbook:trace|Trace formulas]], [[chaosbook:det|Spectral determinants]], [[chaosbook:recycle|Cycle expansions]] block of chapters can be finalized now

=== illustrations ===

:-\  Is it OK to insert illustrations in others people sections or change existing ones?  It would be nice if all the illustrations follow one style and I thought we could stick to PCs hand drawings and something else for the rest. --- //Ronnie Mainieri 2008-0629//


{{gtspring2009:pc.jpg }} ChaosBook lacks many many illustrations, compared to what we draw when we lecture on this material.
  * See where you would like to add/edit illustrations, and talk to PC about which ones you want to do ahead of doing them. Please keep *.eps small, in KB's rather than 100s of KB's - otherwise the ChaosBook.pdf will explode.
  * record the secrets of generating small figures in "[[gtspring2009:howto:format#figures|How to format figures]]"

{{gtspring2009:gibson.png?24 }} Recent insights: A thread is a new page with a discussion at 
the bottom. %%{{threads>namespace:threadname}}%% enables creation of these new pages. The most 
recently modified thread always gets listed on top. For channelflow discussion, I create discussion
topic pages like with normal dokuwiki links %%[[installation]], [[programming]]%%, and then
I put a "new threads" box %%{{threads>installation}}%% within those pages. Maybe should be within
a ''discussion'' namespace, but no ''channelflow'' namespace since channelflow is the root.
// John Gibson 2009-02-13 19:42 EST//

{{gtspring2009:gibson.png?24 }} Ah, I see. Sorry about garbling the discussions and my errant finger pointing.  I'll put them back in. I read up on [[http://www.dokuwiki.org/namespaces|dokuwiki namespaces]] and have a better 
idea how to do this now, namely %%{{threads>namespace:threadname}}%%, e.g. %%{threads>chaosbook:intro}%% 
which could be started from here or from a %%[[chaosbook:intro]]%% page. OK. Trying this %%{{threads>chaosbook}}%%: {{threads>chaosbook}}
// John Gibson 2009-02-12 20:16 EST//

{{gtspring2009:pc.jpg }} Thanks, and sorry. I did not put them there - it is the %%{{threads>threadname}}%%  command that you have now removed from this page (and along with it the discussion window that unregistered people could enter posts in) that generated these pages. Back to zero - now no chapter has a discussion window, I think they used to have them.  --- //[[predrag.cvitanovic@physics.gatech.edu|Predrag Cvitanovic]] 2009-02-12 14:58//

{{gtspring2009:gibson.png?24 }} When you create pages for chaosbook, make sure to put them
in the chaosbook namespace by starting the dokuwiki link with ''chaosbook:'', e.g. %%[[chaosbook:intro:maps]]%%. 
There were a bunch of chaosbook topics in the dokuwiki root namespace, which is for channelflow stuff. 
I moved them and fixed a number of links. If you encounter other broken links please fix them. Thanks!
//John Gibson 2009-02-12//


{{gtspring2009:pc.jpg }} I have no control of how these threads are ordered? They should be ordered as the chapters in the book are ordered. Maybe [[http://demo.chimeric.de/plugin:blog|blog plugin]] would be better, but it does not work for me yet...
 --- //[[predrag.cvitanovic@physics.gatech.edu|Predrag Cvitanovic]] 2009-01-28 05:37//

{{gtspring2009:gibson.png?24 }}  use %%{{threads>threadname}}%% syntax  to start one discussion window per chapter.
