3. Documentation

Maintenance Plan

The popular pages list review is complete.

Chris has built a script to automatically generate the outdated pages list, and Demian has begun updating pages. Help from others would be appreciated! At present, the generation script is only being run manually; however, it could easily be automated if we want to use a particular schedule (daily? hourly?).

Page Updates

Demian and Mohan should update the DOAJ page and create a NepJol page based on their experiments.

Work is still pending on the PubMed Central “open data sources” page. Mohan also plans to contribute documentation related to integrating SubjectsPlus (which has example XSLT import configs in the project) and Moodle (which is still being researched).

Artificial Intelligence

PMC Article

4. Accessibility

Demian has launched the Accessibility wiki page. André added some helpful links.

5. Fundraising
