He has implemented the first function, which could serve as the foundation for developing this into a complete package. There is a comment in the TFQA repository (Issue #3) with a link to Jim’s code.</li><li><strong>Next Steps:</strong> Please review the code and work towards structuring it into a package. Follow the provided example to expand functionality and increase the project’s scope.</li><li><strong>Task:</strong> Compile a “correlation table” comparing functionalities across <strong>Tesselle</strong>, <strong>base R</strong>, <strong>TFQA</strong>, and other relevant packages. This will help us assess what functionality already exists and identify areas for further development.</li></ul></li><li>Project: Session for CAA2025<ul><li><strong>Session Update:</strong> The session has been accepted, and the Call for Papers (CfP) is expected to be released tomorrow.</li><li><strong>Action Item:</strong> Consider contributing a talk on APIs and DSLs (Domain-Specific Languages) to this session.</li><li><strong>Timeline:</strong> The CfP will likely close at the end of October or early November, so no immediate action is required before our next meeting. Keep the deadline in mind.</li></ul></li><li>Project: Workshop for CAA2025<ul><li><strong>Proposal:</strong> Sophie has proposed organizing an SSLA workshop or hackathon at CAA 2025, with a focus on advancing TFQA development.</li><li><strong>Target Audience:</strong> This workshop would be aimed at more experienced programmers and would offer a hybrid format, allowing for remote participation for those unable to attend in person in Athens.</li><li><strong>Action Item:</strong> A poll will be posted in the Elements Chat to gauge interest and support for this idea.</li></ul></li><li>Other Topics:<ul><li><strong>Postponed Items:</strong><ul><li>Discussion on software funding opportunities and the open-access collection has been deferred to the next meeting. Please contribute ideas and materials in the meantime.</li></ul></li><li><strong>CRAN and OpenArcheo Discussion:</strong><ul><li>A suggestion emerged during a discussion about CRAN’s role. It was proposed that OpenArcheo could benefit from a filter for package language, making it easier to identify R packages not hosted on CRAN, particularly if issues persist with the CRAN Task View for Archaeology.</li></ul></li></ul></li></ul><h2 id=next-sig-meeting-wednesday-november-6-2024>Next SIG Meeting: Wednesday, November 6, 2024</h2></div><footer class=content__footer></footer></section><section class=page__aside><div class=aside__about><div class=aside__about><img class=about__logo src=https://sslarch.github.io/images/sig_ssla_logo.svg alt=Logo><h1 class=about__title>Scientific Scripting Languages in Archaeology</h1><p class=about__description>A special interest group of <a href=https://caa-international.org/>CAA International</a> dedicated to scientific scripting languages in archaeology.</p></div><ul class=aside__social-links><li><a href=https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/scientific-scripting-languages-in-archaeology rel=me aria-label="Mailing list" title="Mailing list"><i class="fas fa-envelope" aria-hidden=true></i></a> </li><li><a href=https://github.com/sslarch rel=me aria-label="GitHub organisation" title="GitHub organisation"><i class="fab fa-github" aria-hidden=true></i></a> </li><li><a href=https://archaeo.social/@CAA_SSLA rel=me aria-label="Toot @CAA_SSLA" title="Toot @CAA_SSLA"><i class="fab fa-mastodon" aria-hidden=true></i></a> </li><li><a href=https://twitter.com/caa_ssla rel=me aria-label="Tweet @caa_ssla" title="Tweet @caa_ssla"><i class="fab fa-twitter" aria-hidden=true></i></a> </li></ul></div><hr><div class=aside__content><p>2024-10-02</p></div></section><footer class=page__footer><p><br><span class=active>$ echo $LANG<br><b></b></span><br></p><br><br><p class=copyright></p><p class=advertisement>Powered by <a href=https://gohugo.io/>hugo</a> and <a href=https://github.com/joeroe/risotto>risotto</a>.</p></footer></div></body></html>
