Quarterly of the National Writing Project

Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

Rich has finished updating the Quarterly of the National Writing Project, from the first issue in 1978 through 1999. Everything is uploaded and the link to the full-text files, which the NWP makes available at <http://www.nwp.org/cs/public/print/doc/resources/quarterly_archives.csp> has been added to all the records. Total of 423 records. Glenn will focus on ...

New CompPile Feature

Monday, September 1st, 2008

I've redesigned the front page of CompPile, slightly.  Thinking of CompPile as a place where we go to find information, I've added a column of "CompLinks" that list links to various resources and tools that are part of our everyday work (I think?). In the first attempt, the list includes "professional ...

Comment Feature

Friday, July 25th, 2008

You may have noticed a new tab in the top menu that explains "comments."  The comment feature is now open for CompBlog posts.  To prevent spam, any comment that includes a URL will be held for moderation.  Otherwise, comments are welcome, as long as commenters identify themselves. We look forward to ...

New/Recent Books and CompReviews

Sunday, July 20th, 2008

The CompReviews process has now been revised significantly and moved to the new servers.  As I've said in other places, any item listed in CompPile is now a candidate for review--books, articles, chapters, webspaces. At WPA 2008, one of the focuses of our session about using online tools focused on CompReviews, ...

Journal List updated

Sunday, July 6th, 2008

One of the important features @ CompPile is our list of field-related journals.  We now list 306 journals as relevant for CompPile users.  CompPile does not yet index all 306, but we have that as a goal. The list of journals has been moved to the new server, and, in fact, ...

Site work

Tuesday, July 1st, 2008

Not sure who's reading this, but I want to post this note anyway. I'm revising the CompReview and Recent Books sections as I move them from the old site to the new server.  So users might find some "unfinished" pages that function but that aren't yet "templated" and thus are missing ...

Updating: Publishers, Edited Collections, Edited Series, and Archives

Sunday, June 8th, 2008

As I continue to migrate to the new site, Rich and I are reconsidering a number of spaces / pages. The long-term vision for CompPile includes in part more reliance on database-driven pages, to avoid static pages that require ongoing attention and maintenance to keep them current. Also, ...

New volunteers’ guide

Saturday, June 7th, 2008

The volunteers' guide has been updated.  It's now available online and as a PDF download.

Updates: Journals Covered, Adopt a Journal, Volunteer

Saturday, June 7th, 2008

Finally updated the journals  pages, moving to the new CompPile "look" and changing the primary organization of the journals to the new "scholarly areas" categories.  In addition, the process for volunteering / adopting journals is updated, too, as a way to integrate the 'Associates' in that process. I will be adding ...
