Problem

Right now the author is hardcoded in the source code.

Solution

[
    {
        "_id" : "1",
        "title" : "Creative visualizations, fast and easy with Brunel",
        "author" : "Armand Ruiz Gabernet",
        "date" : "2016-07-01T08:06:05.524Z",
        "message" : "We all know how a picture often tells a story best, especially with data. Now that we support Brunel interactive visualizations in our Jupyter notebooks for Scala and Python, you can squeeze Brunel's flexibility and variety onto your palette and focus on setting your imagination free instead of learning a complex tool.",
        "image_url" : "http://datascience.ibm.com/blog/content/images/2016/06/m6QlLRdb3k.gif",
        "blog_url" : "http://datascience.ibm.com/blog/brunel-interactive-visualization-in-jupyter-notebooks-2/"

Blog post: Invite users

https://medium.com/ibm-data-science-experience/supercharge-your-teams-collaboration-with-dsx-invitations-1142917e1525

This is so electric, even Nikola Tesla would be proud!

Supercharged? More like TerrawattsPetawatts of excitement for your teams when they discover how easy it is to collaborate by using IBM Data Science Experience. Now it's easier than ever because you can invite people that aren't even DSX users. Once they accept your invitation, they are automatically given access to the project, data assets, notebooks, models, and more.

What's New page contains mixed content: Images referenced by HTTP and HTTPS

Problems

• Browser security error
• Relying on images from the DSX Blog (can be easily broken; should be self-contained)

JavaScript Console Errors

Loading mixed (insecure) display content “http://datascience.ibm.com/blog/content/images/2016/08/wRdxWjmL4w.gif” on a secure page
Loading mixed (insecure) display content “http://datascience.ibm.com/blog/content/images/2016/06/m6QlLRdb3k.gif” on a secure page

Recommendations

• Always upload referenced images to this repository
• Always reference images via HTTPS

Add the ability to validate Change Log JSON syntax via Grunt

Blog post: WDP Announcement - Expanding the Data Science Family

https://medium.com/ibm-data-science-experience/expanding-the-data-science-experience-family-2ede9efea6d7

The genetic testing results are in and you'll never guess who's related

It's all in the family with Watson Data Platform and Data Science Experience! This is what can happen when your dad is a world class AI platform and your mom is an analytics maven. So just in time for your family gathering you can bring together the power of services like IBM Data Catalog, IBM Data Refinery, and the many siblings of the Watson Data Platform into a complete data workflow. (OK, maybe IBM Natural Language Understanding is the chatty aunt, but she's definitely part of this merry family of data intelligence.) It's a family whose job is to Make Data Simple [period].

Add support in Change Log JSON schema for specifying a blog post author image

Proposed Field: author_image_url

Implement custom Grunt task for validating JSON Change Log content stored in public GitHub repository

Create new author image for Cecelia

FYI: @msochka @aruizga7

Add new blog entry: "We'd send you an owl or a carrier pigeon, but that can get kind of messy!"

(5) Notifications (second part of the most-recent post): https://datascience.ibm.com/blog/new-landing-page-and-notifications/

We’d send you an owl or a carrier pigeon, but that can get kind of messy!

Collaborate. Collaborate. Collaborate! Our new notifications are just one part of that. Wouldn’t it be nice to know when you get an invitation? Yup, we’ve got that. How about comments in a notebook? Yup, that too. New data? We’ve got you covered. We’re driving project awareness with our new notifications, just one of the ways we help you to work together! No fowls required.

Watson Studio What's New post for Deep Learning

The main information for this post is here: https://github.ibm.com/dap/dsx-documentation-source/issues/1194#issuecomment-5142452

The posts to QA and DEV need to be made immediately.

The post on PROD needs to be timed with the THINK! go live, which is currently scheduled for Tuesday, March 20th at 4AM Pacific Time.

Add new blog entry: "It’s London calling … the new data center is brilliant!"

1. DSX available in London Data Center: https://www.ibm.com/blogs/bluemix/2017/06/data-science-experience-now-available-london/

It’s London calling … the new data center is brilliant!

Having DSX available in our London data center means that users based in Europe can experience improved latency and faster, more efficient data transfer, along with all the support and security benefits of an IBM cloud data center. Say, “No” to delays in computer interactions and “Righto, Mate!” to complying with relevant data regulations. Keep Calm and Data On!

Watson Studio What's New for Watson Studio main blog post

The following issue contains relevant information:
https://github.ibm.com/dap/dsx-documentation-source/issues/1191#issuecomment-5144832

Change Log entries should use GUIDs

Problems

• It appears that the _id field is being used to uniquely identify entries for the social "like" feature.
• Numbers (e.g. 1, 2, 3) cannot be used as unique IDs in this mechanism
• _id field should be renamed to just id

Solution

• Rename _id to id
• Change ID values to GUIDs
• Start generating / using GUIDs for new entries moving forward
  • Use: https://www.guidgenerator.com/

Example Entry with Solution

    {
        "id" : "53a6c1e8-81d7-481e-a4a9-e3529535cf5e",
        "title" : "Real-time comments in notebooks",
        "date" : "2016-09-25T18:06:05.524Z",
        "message" : "Say what you need to say. Collaboration is easier than ever with the new comments section in Jupyter notebooks.",
        "image_url" : "https://github.com/IBMDataScience/datascix/blob/master/public/prod/changelog/img/comments.png?raw=true",
        "blog_url" : "http://datascience.ibm.com/blog/open-beta-available-for-everyone-2/"
