C000000: TROSTing Construction Zone Diary & Job Jar

A running job jar of ideas and notes on the construction zone of the TROSTing root (Front-Porch) section

Status	Date	Description





	2006-07-29	The front porch must be repaved to honor the current approach to construction structure and scaffolding. When this happens, the TROSTing.htm will have to be sourced from a page different than index.htm.
	2005-07-20	It would be interesting to have a little history of the home page as it evolved. I can make a folio that has that, though I don't know what to do about the include pages that are part of it, including the pieces that are altered dynamically (like VSS label fields). I think I can do all of that, but it is not literally accurate, except in some special flattened form that is no longer subject to dynamic creation-side updating. [dh:2005-08-11 There needs to be a general construction treatment on how all of this works, either in Construction here or in an overall place, such as `orcmid.com/centrale`.]
in progress	2005-06-13	Review construction/ for adequacy when reached as part of an engagement visit. Review from perspective of default entry to the section from the TROST front porch (e.g., index.htm).
	2005-06-13	Review the contact.htm page for engagement utility (default.asp and index.htm). [dh:2005-07-19 The one on ODMA is better. The improvements should be retrofitted back to the TROSTing version.]
	2005-06-13	ODMref 1.0 section under ActiveODMA needs to have enough structure that it is understandable when linked from the TROST front porch.
	2005-06-13	Expand the TROST Pilot entrance to provide more about what's available, what the structure is, and how to find things.
	2005-06-13	Add the About TROST page and link from index.htm and the default.asp page. [dh:2005-06-16 the construction preview uses index.htm as an include page to accomplish this initially.][dh:2005-07-19 This needs to be moved into an included folio, and it can be IncludePaged into index.htm initially, and then cloned into a trost.htm or similar page.]
	2005-06-13	Review NuovoDoc front-porch for consistency with and support of TROSTing engagement
	2005-06-13	Consider upgrading to Creative Commons license Attribution 2.5 site-wide, after capturing everything I need to throw the switch. See notebook #45.103-105. [dh:2005-07-19 I have started doing that in the *.txt pages that include non-web license statements. I think this change can be done at will, and it illustrates an important feature of dependency-configuration management to go through the versioning and maybe even the packaging. It would be good to sequester them the way they are, maybe?]
in progress 2005-06-13	2005-06-06	Find more material about what TROST and TROSTing are to tie into the keyhole summary on index.htm.
in progress	2005-06-06	Follow each link from the home page (default.htm) and from the index.htm page and make sure the destinations are in reasonable shape for early visitors. Inventory the go-live preconditions here, too, and make sure those are ready. [dh:2005-06-13 See 2005-04-30 entry, below]
	2005-06-05	Tie in some sort of status page, but it might be more of a portal into a status section somewhere. [dh:2005-06-13 fill in the link on the current TROSTing front porch. A placeholder works too.]
	2005-06-05	Tie in an About that might be how we handle the SourceForge and other announcements.
	2005-06-05	Tie in a placeholder privacy page that identifies the NuovoDoc one as its basis. [dh:2005-06-13 fill in the link on the current TROSTing front porch.]
	2005-05-09	Link the SourceForge proposal into the knot-hole somehow. [dh:2005-06-13 we need an infoNote on the SourceForge employment and a place to expand more about that.]
	2005-04-30	Before going live with this site, initiating full TROST Engagement, there are work items and site reviews that must occur. In addition to the items in this job jar, also consult the TROST Pilot Engagement project folio. [dh:2005-04-30 To move off of this activity, I am creating a knothole and simply making sure I have a work item that captures the additional steps before declaring a grand opening.] [dh:2005-05-05 I guess that really makes it a preview, not a grand opening.]
	2005-02-27	I have a risk contingency by not being able to use MSN Explorer (and MSN dial-up) from Blocco in my user account. I can do it as administrator, but that sucks and I need to come up with something else. [dh:2005-04-30-16:36 This should be moved to the risk management under Trost Pilot envisioning.]
	2005-02-27	I have accessed the TROST development site using FrontPage 2003 on Blocco, the new Tablet PC. There is much to document around confirmable experience, trustworthiness, and experiences that leave one feeling dirty. My Microsoft Office 2003 experience was superb, my MSDN access experience had problems with Passport, and my MSN experiences with MSN Messenger and MSN Explorer were atrocious and icky. It is interesting how that works. For the moment, this entry is simply to demonstrate that I have successfully checked-out and updated a page in the site. So now I can integrate site editing and page creation with all of my other research and writing activities on Blocco. Next: Getting Blogger working from over here.
	2005-02-07	Determine what we want to specify for "attribution" on pages with material importance. [dh:2005-07-19 I will add it to the cached "deed" pages as one of the bullets. I might need to say more about "licensed" in the "you are here" blocks, but this will be good enough for now.]
	2005-02-07	Add a status if we think it is needed. [dh: 2005-05-09 Do pilot/status for now, mirroring ODMref10]
	2005-02-07	Add a privacy statement or link for this site
done	2006-07-29	Link to the new dev/ section from the front-porch index.htm page.
done 2006-07-29	2005-06-05	Introduce a development section, similar to the one employed for ActiveODMA. See if we can do this one with a construction zone template, and take it all the way down. [dh:2006-07-29 A placeholder structure is in place. That construction zone will manage the further customization that is required.]
done	2006-07-29	Create a skeletal dev/ section with placeholder for a construction zone to be announced, etc. Put in enough structure to add some code projects at dev/2006/07 in advance of getting a full-up dev/ section rolling. But the inspiration for starting this is very cool. It is enough reason to get subversion going on the sourceforge project, etc. See 2005-06-05 too
done	2005-09-20	Updated just to confirm that installation of FrontPage 2003 on the new Scampo development system works fine and an update roundtrip is working. [dh:2005-09-20 It is weird to see these pages on a high-quality LCD and get what the colors are when viewd on a good monitor.]
done 2005-08-17	2005-07-24	Add space after "(ODMA)" in TROSTing.htm section 1.4.
done	2005-08-11	2005-08-11 Use permalinks on index.htm
done	2005-08-11	Use the ODMA P050702 Project Folio as the target for the ODMdev Bootstrap activity
done 2005-08-11	2005-06-13	Review the TROSTing /info section for its access from TROSTing front porch, index.htm page
done 2005-07-21	2005-06-13	Review the TROSTing /projects section for its access from TROSTing front porch, index.htm page. It can provide more about the organizational structure.
done 2005-07-21	2005-06-13	Review the activeODMA development tree access from the TROSTing front porch, index.htm page.
done	2005-07-20	Ack! I got the URL for ODMdev Bootspiral wrong. Fix it!
done	2005-07-20	In changing to the Bootstrap phase, I should hook in the ODMdev bootspiral activity. Put it there, though I don't have something to link to yet. Maybe a version of the "checklist" and the blog page about it, which I should tie into that on the Bootspiral cover. [dh:2005-07-20 I'm linking to my blog page about it until I update the project sheet to have that content.]
done	2005-07-20	I don't like how the image on the home page is not very prominent and the Welcome consumes all the good space. Rearrange it and have it balanced better, visually. That means putting the image on the left (I don't know why) and adjusting the text. I also like replacing "one brick at a time" by "one commitment at a time" though it should really be one fulfilled commitment at a time, but that is just too much.
done	2005-07-20	I altered the home page very late last night (very early this morning), and I forgot that I had created a new file (a larger Symbol of Trust image) on my development site that I hadn't shared to the image of the hosted site. So it showed up as a broken link and I was fatigued enough that staying up any time longer to repair it would be even more dangerous. I fixed it as soon as I was on my feet today.
done	2005-07-19	Correct typos on the index.htm page (notebook #46.53)
captured 2005-07-19	2005-06-19	There are a number of ways that descent followed by ascent through the patterns happens in TROSTing. So the descent to bootstrap and ascent from there is just one example. I've hinted at that, I need to write about it. [dh:2005-07-19 captured in notes for the final package]
done 2005-07-17	2005-02-07	Find a unique logo image for TROST. [dh: 2005-06-12 I think this is something worth handling in an InfoNote and will look at that after I get the template cooking.]
done 2005-06-23	2005-06-13	Update the i000006 template for quick use in the creation of more infoNotes, including ones identified as needed below. [dh:2005-06-20 I seem to have started this before I created a note here. It is at develop/P050601.]
done 2005-06-20	2005-06-19	In the index.htm section 1.1.1, end the last question with a "?"
done 2005-06-19	2005-06-13	Tie index.htm to the About TROST page and material too. [dh:2005-06-19 I am using an expanded index.htm as the About page for now. The rest comes when InfoNotes on the necessary topics are built.]
done 2005-06-18	2005-06-17	Update the index.htm to move the first paragraph into what's here. Find something else about what it is. I may have to write something about that.
done	2005-06-17	Use the construction zone page as a folio cover for the material here. This will blend nicely with the folio pattern as a navigational hierarchy among a series of sibling pages in a single section.
done	2005-06-17	Treat this page just like a folio cover, but with a link to the construction zone page.
done	2005-06-17	Version completed material onto a history page and make it easier to find open items. Rearranging would work too.
