After the manual revision of the digest document `Discussion25Digest.txt`,
Claude-code was tasked to look at the differences and perform whatever
modifications were deemed necessary to the "Agenda" text.
__Note__: I have not touched anything in this Agenda yet, it is generated text altogether
I went through the entire digest extracted by Claude,
revalidated the central statements, reworded most summaries
to capture the meaning adequately and added quotes from
the original mails verbatim at several instances.
I consider this version now ready for review.
This digest was generated by Claude(faible) under my supervision.
The goal of this effort is to produce a persistent record of the
Workflow discussion between Wouter and myself during the last year.
- I had work notes, taken during the ongoing discussions and eMail threads
- the raw eMail messages were collected into a MBox file for Claude to digest
- a general framing was provided, and the ''Lumiera Workflow Proposals'' + Froscon-25 discussion defined as context
- Claude was then first tasked to identify topics and structure of the discussion
- the resulting list was cross-checked and reconciled with my own understanding
- this led so some rearrangement and the need to place focus onto some aspects;
adjustments and discrepancies were pointed out and discussed with Claude, leading to some refinement
- after providing also the IRC discussion and instructing Claude to work in the proposals section from Wouter's document,
text generation was started; Claude was also instructed to synthesise a discussion agenda based on identified conclusions
Images were extracted form the PDF provided by Wouter with the command
pdfimages -png -j wouter260316v4.pdf wouter/v4
As usual, I have added the images separately, into the Website-repository,
in order to save storage space in the main Lumiera repo (since storage in
a Git-repository is permanent and can not be shrinked later without
rewriting the history)
Furthermore, I have changed the naming scheme of the images,
adding a prefix with the version number where some image was added.
...added new chapter 1: working with source material

Some sections of the Lumiera website document meeting minutes,
discussion protocols and design proposals from the early days
of the project; these pages were initially authored in the
»Moin Moin Wiki« operated by Cehteh on pipapo.org at that time;
this wiki backed the first publications of the »Cinelerra-3«
initiative, which turned into the Lumiera project eventually.
Some years later, those pages were transliterated into Asciidoc
semi-automatically, resulting in a lot of broken markup and links.
This is a long standing maintenance problem problem plaguing the
Lumiera website, since those breakages cause a lot of warnings
and flood the logs of any linkchecker run.
- indicate clearly that a ''past discussion'' is documented here
- point out what is the primary focus for UI design ''currently''
- arrange some links better
- use cross-links / Linkfarm; especially cross-link to
the discussion regarding Wouter's Workflow proposals (2025)
...fine-tuned a few small bits here and there in the
current chapter of the workflow document

- add markup to match formatting from PDF
- link to the images extracted into the website Git-repository
- adjust image sizes to fit into the text
- add some cross references
(incidentally: TimelineDiscussion.txt -- store image locally)
Chapter 2 (about the timeline) is now complete.
- extend discussion regarding trackless
- add section about Tools / Modes / Views
- section: Adding clips to the timeline
- section: Selecting clips
- section: Arranging clips
- section: Trimming clips
- section: Splitting and merging clips
- section: Removing clips
- add subchapter regarding sections of the timeline
- Adding and editing transitions
- Changing timeline clip properties

Images required no cropping;
the white background images were omitted.

This is the version from 4.Apr
- add a subchapter about the current NLE landscape
- add a subchapter on tracks vs. trackless
- add a bit more information in the navigation subchapter.

images 06 and 11 needed to be split in two parts
cropped in Gimp ("crop to content")
NOTE: Adding the images separately to the Website-repository,

because content, once added, can not be removed from Git....
- included the list of "Personas", quoting from Wouter's document
- add some details from the ensuing discussion
- close the document with a section "Conclusions" to list the
most relevant open points
Topic: proposals for Lumiera Workflow
Present:
- Wouter Verweijlen
- Benny Lyons
- Hermann Voßeler
Note: This commit creates a new subsection
for the discussion related to Wouter's »Lumiera Workflow Proposals«....
Introduce the new term "Fork" at various relevant places
within the documentation. We do not entirely purge the
term "track" though; rather we
- make clear that "Fork" is the entity to build tracks
- use "fork" also synonymous to the "tree of tracks"
