Plan Workflow Visualizations
I’ve added some new plan workflow visualizations to the documentation, and revised / expanded the text with more details. On our technical calls we have walked through these drawings a few times and it seems to be at a good spot. Here are the major changed sections: The Plan Proposal Workflow Often, actors starting a… Continue reading Plan Workflow Visualizations
1.0.0-PREVIEW now available
I’ve just completed tagging the 1.0.0-PREVIEW release. Head over to GitHub to download it now! This is a soft-frozen release that should only have minor changes and clarifications prior to the 1.0.0 final release.

Merged Documentation and New Git Approach
I’ve cleaned up and resolved the divergences between the branches in the GitHub repository.

Thanks to Jim Young of ETE Reman for giving us some good fundamental advice on Git workflows. Going forward… Continue reading Merged Documentation and New Git Approach
Documentation Now Online on GitHub
Just a quick note to mention that the documentation is now available on the Sandpiper GitHub, in the unstable branch. This is where we’ll be coordinating the work to update and finalize this last critical piece of the puzzle, now that the API seems pretty well established (though as we bring testers online I’m sure… Continue reading Documentation Now Online on GitHub
API Endpoints WIP 2021-07-15 & New Tech Teams Link
We’ve been chugging along defining the API endpoints. The file linked below is last week’s efforts, though it rests in an incomplete state; we’ve come to the limits of comfortably defining things like JSON responses and HTTP methods within Excel. You can count on the endpoints, HTTP methods, and meanings themselves being well set at… Continue reading API Endpoints WIP 2021-07-15 & New Tech Teams Link
