Over five months, contributed to the TEIC/TEI and TEIC/website repositories by delivering schema enhancements, automation pipelines, and documentation improvements. Developed a nested facsimile data model in XML, refactored TEI header parsing in Java for reliability, and automated translation readiness using Docker, Jenkins, and shell scripting. Established governance and onboarding documentation for TEI Lite 2.0, clarified glossary entries, and improved prose for TEI specifications. Focused on maintainability and data integrity, the work emphasized code formatting, continuous integration, and content management, resulting in more robust workflows, streamlined contributor onboarding, and reduced manual maintenance across TEI’s collaborative open-source projects.
February 2026: TEIC/TEI delivered automation and CI/CD enhancements to support faster translation readiness and more reliable builds. The work focused on TEI Specification Automation and CI/CD Enhancement, including generation/update of JSON spec lists for translation, a new Dockerfile and shell script to facilitate generation, and Jenkins job configurations for building/testing TEI products. This pipeline upgrade improves build reliability, docs management, and maintainability. Additionally, PR 2870 delivered prose improvements for remarks on @role of <address> in TEI, refining documentation quality.
