add July 2019 newsletter post #71

How is that graphic generated? Why not have a simple data file with metrics that will update a visualization directly? The power of javascript compels you... (seriously there are really nice and easy to use libraries!) The alternative is that you have to re-generate that picture every time, and it can't be interactive etc. |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
For easier long term maintenance, I'd like to suggest an interactive graphic from some simple data file.
The addition of posts to assets works! But we wouldn't need it here :)
If this is a newsletter, it should also have a custom tag or category, that way we can create a link that hits all newsletters (and filters out other posts).

I get what you are saying, but for the newsletter posts, my feeling is it should just be the snapshot of the emailed newsletter. So this page shouldn't ever be updated it's an archive of where we were.
Maybe we put an interactive chart elsewhere?

I'd be good with that, but I'd still like to see a category or tag for the newsletter posts, and then a link to filter to it. |
|
Absolutely, a category/tag makes sense! |
|
And then if you are able, it would be good to add a page to view only the newsletters. And if this inspires fear in your heart, then just open an issue for some future person :) |

I'll add the tag to the header, but the page will have to wait for after PEARC or someone else to do it :)! |
|
That’s so far away! With your blessing I’d be happy to do it! |
|
Maybe I can take a shot at the interactive plot too :-) Where is the data coming from, and can you share it with me? |
|
@vsoch you don't ever need my blessing! If you have the time, feel free to jump in anytime! I'm panicked trying to get a million things done before I leave for Chicago! |
|
okay! Do you need help with anything else? I have oodles of time. |
|
See if these tags make sense. You can change them or add as you see fit! The only other thing I really want to do here is get the new logo set up. If you want to fix that PR, by all means! |
|
Yep I'll pull and commit to here now - the addition we need is a link to view only the newsletter posts. |
|
Check this out, we already have a tags index! I'll add tags to other posts, and link to the index discreetly somewhere. |

It's a little empty now, but will fill up :)

I added the newsletter email (converted to markdown) as a post (dated the day it was sent).
The only really noteworthy other thing was I added a directory in /assets called posts to put images etc that might be referenced in posts. I'm happy to put it somewhere else if it makes more sense.
We need somewhere for the membership image to live:
