The content under the What We Do / Services is currently blank. We need to add something about production visualization services. It would be good to link to the visgallery.ucar.edu Anything else?
https://vast.ucar.edu/vast/projects/page/2/
Projects -> R&D > page 2 has no content. It is a 404 that redirects to just the header and footer.

The blog-feature-image
isn't rendering for me (Chrome) on @erogluorhan 's recent post.
Update the publications page with recent or significant publications as described here
Add a news item for the summer pythia hackathon
Replace the Services section on the landing page with a "What we do" section. The cards under the "What we do" section should correspond to the menu items under the "What we do" menu bar: Software, Education, Services, R&D. The cards should link to their respective sections.
While updating the staff list, I noticed we had a couple of SIPARCS interns
It is possible to point a subdomain (e.g., vast.ucar.edu
, in this case) to a GitHub pages site. To do this, you need 2 key ingredients:
ucar.edu
, in this case) to update the DNS records for the domain name with a CNAME record that points to ncar.github.io
. I have submitted a ticket to CISL help to create such a DNS record. I do not know if they will approve it, but I will keep you posted.vast.ucar.edu
) to the "Custom Domain" section of the GitHub Pages settings page. This has to be done after the CNAME record is added to the DNS records.More information about this can be found in the GitHub documentation here.
Is there a criterion to put something under "Publications" vs. "Presentations" categories? I found that many items under "Presentations" would be located under "Publications" if I were to classify them.
Example: "Using Neural Networks for Two Dimensional Scientific Data Compression" under "Presentation" page.
Per discussion with @clyne @erogluorhan and @NihanthCW
Make the downloads metrics more meaningful by adding a "downloads" page that has packages, their descriptions, and their downloads from various channels.
Also: replace packages metric with viz gallery example metric once #70 is complete
Any other thoughts?
A couple of questions on adding new content:
---
title: "Visualization and Analysis Software and Technology"
date: 2022-04-22T00:00:00+06:00
mission : "VAST's mission is to ..."
description : "More and more about VAST..."
---
Do "mission" and "description" have any meeting (keywords), or are they completely arbitrary?
On mobile screens (portrait mode), the top banner (NCAR | VAST ) doesn't scale down sufficiently.
fwiw: the dart page scales as expected.
Add one more more highlights to the News page as described here.
The two paragraph in the About page are displayed with different font sizes. Can we make them consistent?
This is a minor issue/non-issue: I see that the news articles and the supporting folders are sometimes referred to as a "blog". Eg. in the images folder, the images corresponding to the news articles are under a folder named "blog". I suggest renaming it to news to avoid confusion.
I don't want to break any dependencies, so I am refraining from renaming it myself.
Thomas has requested that we include presentations given by VAST staff in addition to the publications that we currently list. Each entry should include: presenter, title, venue, location, and a link to a PDF file containing the talk. See the DART site, for example.
As long as the PDF files are in some quasi-permanent location, we can probably just link to them (as opposed as hosting them in the GitHub repo itself). Supporting both options would probably be prudent.
It can be nice to have a favicon for the site. It is not necessary, though.
Currently, the theme looks for a favicon in the following places in this repository: static/images/favicon.ico
.
If you want to add a favicon, just put a file with the name favicon.ico
to the above location.
We should add something about our involvement with ESDS, specifically, and in general our efforts to help modernize the scientific workforce and advance their ability to conduct science.
Should we add a page with all our interns over the last few years? It might include their picture, brief bio, project they worked on, where they are now, etc.
We need a minimalistic contributor's guide so VAST staff know how to build and preview the site. It would be nice to have a preview capability for PRs, but for now I'd settle for just being able to build and preview on my local machine.
Hi Sam,
Could you please add your SPERR article (when url is active) to the publications page.
This could also be a good topic for a news post. You just need an image and a short paragraph describing the topic. The contributors guid in the repository home page has information on how to add a news post. Lemme know if you have any questions.
Thanks!
Nihanth
The Software entries for VAPOR and GeoCAT should have appropriate images, and the text can be modified as you see fit.
The R&D page should be augmented with any missing projects. E.g. lossy compression, Smithsonian, etc.
@shaomeng you'll want to look at the contributors's guide for how to add content and preview the rendered result.
Through talking with @MattRehme @NihanthCW @StasJ during the TDD Collaborative Github training, we thought a potential project would be to migrate the CISL Visualization Gallery from the wordpress site (https://visgallery.ucar.edu/) to the Hugo vast page.
@clyne Do you think this would be an appropriate spot to host gallery?
It should be corrected to "vast".
There are two text formatting issues on the Publications page:
Metrics on landing page are currently blank. Currently we have: downloads, publications, packages, and interns. Are these what we want? I like publications and interns. Not sure how meaningful the downloads metric would be. If we keep it the count should include all of our packages (VAPOR, and various GeoCAT products). I'm also not sure what "packages" means.
Other metrics to possibly consider as replacements or additions to downloads and packages:
@NihanthCW, @erogluorhan what are your thoughts?
Just noticed the staff listing on this page is a bit out of date: https://vast.ucar.edu/about/
Happy to go through and make the GeoCAT updates and double check the staff directory for others.
About to check out for the day, but can submit a PR tomorrow.
If you click on a new item, e.g. the Marshal Fire Vis, the header says:
June 24, 2022 by
"by" what?
Hi @erogluorhan could you upload a different GeoCAT banner image? The current one is grainy when expanded to the banner size and the color placement makes it hard to read the text.
The image for the Marshall fire vis entry is not being displayed.
Also, the example posts can probably be removed. It might be good to document this process in the contrib guide.
Add your staff info to the About page as described here
Metrics for the landing page are currently generated manually. They should be automated where possible. In particular, # of publications and # of downloads should be automated.
While updating the staff list, I noticed we had a couple of SIPARCS interns listed in the "Alumni" section. However, we don't have this year's interns listed and I would guess we might be short a few in the "Alumni" section as well.
I haven't been around long enough to know who all might be missing or I'd throw in a quick PR for this as well.
Hi @sgpearse
When you find time, could you please add your fire research visualization work as a project to the website. See under adding a new project in the contributors guide. This would show up under what we do/R&D menu (example). Lemme know if you have any questions. Thank you!
