Greg says: "PM101, essentially THE project management course shows up about midway in the search for “project management”. Guessing it’s alphabetical, but is there a way to establish a priority ranking in the meta tagging?"

I'm not sure if this has an easy solution (e.g. use Wordpress 'sticky'?) or if this needs to wait for enterprise search, or what, but I agree that it'd be a good thing to consider.

This issue is a kind reminder that your repository has been inactive for 181 days. Some repositories are maintained in accordance with business requirements that infrequently change thus appearing inactive, and some repositories are inactive because they are unmaintained.

To help differentiate products that are unmaintained from products that do not require frequent maintenance, repomountie will open an issue whenever a repository has not been updated in 180 days.

• If this product is being actively maintained, please close this issue.
• If this repository isn't being actively maintained anymore, please archive this repository. Also, for bonus points, please add a dormant or retired life cycle badge.

To avoid confusion, I tore down the previous development enviro where we were prototyping. Now I need to re-setup Wordpress in a new place and get it running so that I can develop the theme and the plugin.

It links to https://learning.gov.bc.ca/ (which should work but doesn't) when it should link to https://learning.gov.bc.ca/CHIPSPLM/signon.html

We need to contact the folx at MyHR to fix this, as we don't control that page.

TL;DR 🏎️

Teams are encouraged to favour modern inclusive phrasing both in their communication as well as in any source checked into their repositories. You'll find a table at the end of this text with preferred phrasing to socialize with your team.

Words Matter

We're aligning our development community to favour inclusive phrasing for common technical expressions. There is a table below that outlines the phrases that are being retired along with the preferred alternatives.

During your team scrum, technical meetings, documentation, the code you write, etc. use the inclusive phrasing from the table below. That's it - it really is that easy.

For the curious mind, the Public Service Agency (PSA) has published a guide describing how Words Matter in our daily communication. Its an insightful read and a good reminder to be curious and open minded.

What about the master branch?

The word "master" is not inherently bad or non-inclusive. For example people get a masters degree; become a master of their craft; or master a skill. It's generally when the word "master" is used along side the word "slave" that it becomes non-inclusive.

Some teams choose to use the word main for the default branch of a repo as opposed to the more commonly used master branch. While it's not required or recommended, your team is empowered to do what works for them. If you do rename the master branch consider using main so that we have consistency among the repos within our organization.

Preferred Phrasing

Pro Tip 🤓

This list is not comprehensive. If you're aware of other outdated nomenclature please create an issue (PR preferred) with your suggestion.

If there is no system assigned, then it just says "Register on" and then nothing. It should just say "Register" I guess with the "on" removed with a simple template markup check.

We need a flow chart and fully fleshed out system for adding new partners to the system

for example search results pages
[] format page numbers
[] update "older posts" language

Leanna said: "[Yesterday 4:21 p.m.] Hill, Leanna PSA:EX
second - when a list of more than x number of courses comes up, it indicates page 1... 3 and then it has a title on tthe left that says "Older posts". Can we change that to make it easier to navigate to 'more courses' or something? "

For example:
"The Declaration Act established B.C. as the first jurisdiction in Canada to adopt legislation to implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (U.N. Declaration). The… Continue reading The B.C. Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples"
Remove the end bit.

We are currently only syncing the brief description of the course, but courses also contain an abstract that has a substantially longer character limit.

Bring the abstract in as the main content body, and make the brief description the excerpt in WP. Only show the excerpt in search results and listings.

It's not updating descriptions from ELM

Only MyHR currently has a hyperlink attached.

When you attempt to add a new course, the custom field "Course Link" should contain the URL to the course registration page, but it broke at some point recently and now it won't accept any value; you put a value in and update, but the value is not saved.

We need to keep contact info for each partner for MyHR usage in replying to CRM tickets, but don't want to display this to regular users. We want to add support for a "partner contact" field on the "Learning Partner" taxonomy terms, and then create a special page that lists all partners with that info; this won't be linked to from anywhere public.

The sync process times out after 30 seconds when it would finish after about 35-40 seconds, so we manually double the exe time with set_time_limit(60)?

Requires altering the sync method with PSALS

The way to do this is likely to demote folx to be authors rather than editors, but need to investigate more.

Youtube has started playing pre-roll ads and other interface ugliness that is entirely inappropriate for this video. Host the video on the local file system and link to that in a nice interface rather than linking to YT at all.

[] add custom field to metabox UI
[] add date check date in template; show countdown
[] add new sync method to check for expired courses and privatize them

[] Make consistent active state
[] Fix spacing
[] Fix it on mobile

TL;DR

Topics greatly improve the discoverability of repos; please add the short code from the table below to the topics of your repo so that ministries can use GitHub's search to find out what repos belong to them and other visitors can find useful content (and reuse it!).

Why Topic

In short order we'll add our 800th repo. This large number clearly demonstrates the success of using GitHub and our Open Source initiative. This huge success means it's critical that we work to make our content as discoverable as possible. Through discoverability, we promote code reuse across a large decentralized organization like the Government of British Columbia as well as allow ministries to find the repos they own.

What to do

Below is a table of abbreviation a.k.a short codes for each ministry; they're the ones used in all @gov.bc.ca email addresses. Please add the short codes of the ministry or organization that "owns" this repo as a topic.

That's it, you're done!!!

How to use

Once topics are added, you can use them in GitHub's search. For example, enter something like org:bcgov topic:citz to find all the repos that belong to Citizens' Services. You can refine this search by adding key words specific to a subject you're interested in. To learn more about searching through repos check out GitHub's doc on searching.

Pro Tip 🤓

• If your org is not in the list below, or the table contains errors, please create an issue here.

• While you're doing this, add additional topics that would help someone searching for "something". These can be the language used javascript or R; something like opendata or data for data only repos; or any other key words that are useful.

• Add a meaningful description to your repo. This is hugely valuable to people looking through our repositories.

• If your application is live, add the production URL.
