===Jazz Odyssey=== | |||
We are about to launch some big changes on the JC so I wanted to update you hardy band of patient subscribers on where what's about to happen and what the thinking is. | |||
Unlike [[This is Spinal Tap|the ’Tap]] this will not be some bold new direction. There is no interfering Yoko and no, the lead guitarist has not departed citing creative differences. He's just got a bit older. | |||
So instead the JC is going to double down on the direction he seems to be going in. After 15 years meandering around, he is fairly confident he now knows what it is. | |||
Tally ho. | |||
===How it started=== | |||
The JC has been running in one form or another now for nearly fifteen years. It started out as one dude trying to nut out the close out mechanics of the {{isdama}} and then put it somewhere where he wouldn’t lose it. It has grown a bit since then but that is still the basic idea. | The JC has been running in one form or another now for nearly fifteen years.

The open source [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki MediaWiki platform] — the same one [[Wikipedia]] runs on — turned out to be a really good way of maintaining and building knowhow. Creating, linking and cross-referencing material in a holistic and [[non-linear]] way is simple. | The fabulous open source [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki MediaWiki platform] — the same one [[Wikipedia]] runs on — turned out to be a really good way of maintaining and building knowhow.

Being easily distracted and essentially a [[Sloth|lazy]] sod — which I maintain is a paragon virtue — this way of working suits me perfectly. You can quickly create articles, save them down, and fix them them later. You can edit while you are on the train, walking the dog, or being driven slowly up the wall by [[middle manager]]s on the weekly regulatory change [[stakeholder]] check-point [[all-hands conference call]]. It is perfect for the frequently interrupted and the chronically wanting of an attention span. Anything you start now you can save down and come back to later. If you never do, it can’t have been that important. | Being easily distracted and essentially a [[Sloth|lazy]] sod — which I maintain is a paragon virtue — this way of working suits me perfectly.
