 Well, it's time for another J Wickey update and I come to you from the unseeded territories of the Qualicum and Comox First Nations and we thank them for the use of their lands So this update we're going to talk about a project that we're starting up that involves the community So I'm going to share my screen and as you can see we're on the main page of the blue J Wickey and the blue J Wickey is the current Wickey. It's the one that's going to keep running and it'll have all the current information on it It's the working Wickey for lack of a better term We're going to go over to the new version of the Wickey and that's the yellow Wickey And you see it looks different because we're trying out different things over here Eventually the blue J Wickey may look like this, but at the moment it doesn't because we're trying stuff out One of the things we can do on the sidebar here is add extra links And I've added one for the essay Categorization project. So I just click on that. It'll take us right to that page And what this is is a chance to go through the essays There's a lot of them as you'll see and we're going to add categories to them and we'll go through that process But in order to do this you first have to sign up for the Wickey So after you've clicked on this link, it'll take you right to this page. I'll give you some instructions And it points out that there are two wikis the blue wiki and the yellow wiki And we'll be working on the yellow wiki for this project now before you can edit either wiki You have to create an account. So if you don't have a current account with the J Wickey, you have to email The J Wickey group and it'll fire up this email for you so when you email the subject should be subscribe with your first and last name and your first name and last name separated by a space will be your user ID and Also, you have to include your email address to get back in touch with you and send you a temporary password When you go through that and log in Then you change the password of course for security and you are able to log in on the wiki If you want to have more information about editing the wiki You can click on this here and it'll take you through some of the things you can know about working with the wiki and things But honestly for this particular project, you don't really need that much because it's pretty simple and I'll go through the steps and Here's the categorized essays and these are all the essays in J in the J essay group and there's a lot of them and so what we're going to do is we're going to categorize some of them just to make it easy to be able to Find them by looking for categories. It'll break things down a little bit might make the essays a little easier to search You can see if I click back here on essays. This is what they would look like right now. We're hoping to break these into smaller groups so Coming back to essay categorize you'll notice here There's parentheses and there's a number in between the number in the click gates that there has been a Category somebody's been in and assigned a category in this case. They've assigned history So it's as easy as that now if you see an asterisk it means right now and we're going to work on this to change this up But right now The asterisk means that we don't have access to these in the yellow wiki If you we're interested in what they are you can flip back over to the blue wiki and look for the 235 Problem and you can access it there. So the zero here means that nobody has Been in to add a category yet. So we'll go back to look at our steps. And so we've seen that we've got to categorize We now choose an essay. Well, that's pretty straightforward. You click on it. It screens the asterisk and Then you add in a category. So right here I'm just going to highlight this because that's the probably a pretty easy way to do it And I'll just copy that So I'm all set with this copied. I will go in and Categorize my list. I'm going to add it open in a new tab just to make things a little bit easier. So here's my list I'm going to look at 88 hats Okay, so 88 hats is a puzzle as you can see right off the top and there's a solution you can try and figure it out yourself Down here is the strategies and you can go through the strategies and You do a quick read. I've done read through this one before one of the things that I'm interested in It's an abelian group So that might be something I look at as a category Certainly puzzle Okay, so that's sort of the way it works so I might put in puzzle an abelian group and I hope I'm pronouncing that properly So how do I do that? How do I make a change to this? Well, I go up and if you're logged in you've got an edit tab if you aren't all again I think it just says source, but if it says edit you can click on this and that gives you access to editing this and This is all the background markup that goes with putting a wiki together But what I do is I'll go down to the bottom of this go right down to the bottom Hit return and I'm pasting Category and I get to choose my category name So for it first off I'm going to choose puzzle because it is a puzzle And I can add one more than one category And this is part of the reason that you get to choose your own category names is you may find Category names that are really good for these that we haven't thought of yet Abelian Capitalist to be consistent so I've done Puzzle and abelian so I'm adding those two categories I Just going to go down at the bottom of this page here It scrolls through of course within the window and then there's more information down here so what I'm going to do is put in What was the name of this essay 88 hats? I'm just going to say cat and that's all I need to do And the reason I'll put cat there is it just be a quick signal to everybody. You're just changing a category It'll be sort of inside information code does you don't have to watch this page That's usually done for people who are changing a page or creating pages and they want to keep an eye on eye on any changes that are made This is a minor edit. You're just adding a category to it You could preview if you wish but I'm just going to save these changes and I'm almost done if I go to the bottom of this whole thing again Now I've got categories as puzzle and abelian now. I'm back at my list Probably help if you had two tabs open one was the essays that you're categorizing and then as you go in you can Open a new tab for the each essay But in any case, I've got back to this essays categorized Course you could always click back here and then access the category that that list that way So there's a number of ways to do it, but you can see here. It still says 88 hats zero I'm going to change that. Well, this is an a wiki page and Of course 88 hats there's zero. I'm going to increment one And I'm going to type in 88 hats Cat Because again, that'll tell me that I've made a change of category to that that essay name And again, I don't need to watch the page. This is a minor edit. I'll save changes and Look at that now 88 hats as it has the one beside it So as people go in and add categories Those numbers will increase the reason I put the numbers beside the essays is if you want to go into something that hasn't been done That's great. You can do that Maybe you want to you've got a favorite probably you want to see how people have categorized it You can do that and as I said before Every essay can have more than one category and then what we are going to do is we'll look at all the categories People put under the essays and then we'll start adding Categories that we think are particularly good. Those will get transferred over to the the blue J the old version of J or the working version of J So it'll go back over here and instead of going to this massive block of essays These may be broken into groups. So The groups might reflect the categories and it just makes things a lot easier to search through So this is a project we're doing and we're hoping to get people involved because many hands make light work and There's certainly a lot of work to do here. Now. The other upside of doing this is there's a tremendous amount of information in the essays and You probably haven't had a chance to look through them You look through some of these you are going to learn an awful lot now if you get into one It's more complicated and you don't think you can do anything no harm no foul Just move on to one that you're interested in but every little bit helps and look forward to the next Version of the J wiki update and until then happy array programming
