  • Topics
    • New server! Much faster!
      • Possibilities for adding new texts:
        • SBCK (ca. 380 new texts)
        • CBETA (subset Taisho, Zokuzokyo, …)
        • Novels (KR4k, 327 new texts)
        • ??
    • Proposed new frontend of website:
    • TLS-Satellite: discontinued
      • other ideas for TLS classroom use?
    • Code refactoring
      • This is a continuing effort, but some general guidance is needed:
        • Can we make editing e.g concept definitions easier by moving to a different format?
        • Improving the interface for certain actions / types of data
