Requirements

  • Single-point of definition for Requirements

    • Answer keys
    • IA
    • Worksheets
    • Lesson Plans
  • Change it in one place, it changes everywhere
    • Inconsistency is impossible.
    • AdventSource could quit making requirements PDFs since we've got that covered.
    • Restructuring protects requirements from editing
    • Answer key's table of contents no longer a poor proxy for requirements


Answer Keys

    • Collapsible answers

Placeholder for Lesson Plans

Worksheet

  • See Taiga example

The Invisible Changes

  • Updated to latest Mediawiki (1.35)
  • Adventist Youth Honors Answer Book shortened to AY Honors
  • Much easier translation
    • Localized templates means we don't have to duplicate them.
  • Template documentation
    • How to use
    • Description of mechanics (template syntax is very obtuse)

What we need help with

  • Write overviews
  • Audit requirements
    • Most were extracted from Answer Keys with a bot I wrote
    • Bot's are stupid, mine especially so
      • Unnumbered requirements and important notes
  • Lesson Plans
    • Time metadata depends on Lesson Plans
  • French!

When will this go live?

  • Maybe in April?
  • Still need to finish moving the translations

After that

  • Translate to German
  • Allow users to select a division (defaults to NAD view)
    • Division saved in profile for registered users
    • Attempt to determine division based on anonymous user's IP address
    • Division selector will be similar to language selector
  • Users will see their own divisions honors by default
  • Users can still see honors from outside their division
    • "Outside" honors will be displayed with a warning.
