Notes for new compilers

This is just a reminder list of basic guidelines for compiling.

Preparing VedaBase

• Click here for the list of sources to select in Vedabase.

What we do not compile

• Synonyms
• Quotes from an appendix or index
• Text segments written by the publishers, not by Srila Prabhupada (e.g. forewords)
• Purports from SB Canto 10.14 through Canto 12
• Verse summaries at the beginning of LOB, ISO, MM, NBS
• Quotes in which the expression appears only in a reading being done by a devotee and is not further commented upon by Prabhupada
• Quotes in which the expression is used by someone other than Prabhupada and Prabhupada does not offer further commentary in connection with the expression

If you come across a page for a Sanskrit term, check with your Vanitutor before compiling.

Guidelines for compiling

Before you start, be sure you are:

• using Mozilla Firefox version 3.6.17 for your web browser;
• situated in Vaniquotes (not Vanipedia, Vanisource, or another one of the Vani sites).

Formatting standards

• Conversations should always show the speakers' names, even if Prabhupada is the only speaker.
• Lectures show speakers' names only if there is a speaker other than Prabhupada present within the quote. If Prabhupada is the only speaker in the quote, do not include his name as speaker.
• Don't take it for granted that SP is speaking. Always check and confirm.
  • Exception: Philosophy Discussions - These should be handled just like Conversations (always include the speaker)

Headings

• should include the expression (there may be some exceptions, but this is the general rule)
  • one exception is when a third party cites the expression. At this time we make the heading the comment that SP makes on the expression
• should be complete sentences, ending with a full stop/period
• Pages should be consistent. Either all quotes have headings in a page, or no quotes have headings in a page
• are not necessary for short 'translation-only' quotes

Cited Verses

• When the auto box appears for cited verses, click yes if it is indeed a cited verse. Sometimes the verses are not completely identified. At that time we go to the manual edit by double clicking on the text of the quote and manually code them with : in front of each line

Short Keys

• F2 = Advanced Query (top binoculars)
• F3 = Previous Hit
• F4 = Next Hit
• Ctrl/D = copy with reference
• Alt/Tab = move from Vedabase to Vani or from Vani to Vedabase
• S = set section
• R = purport
• T = Translation
• E = Insert
• Ctrl/V = paste into compile form

to compile a purport

select text, Ctrl/D, Alt/Tab, Ctrl/V, SRE

to compile a translation

select text, Ctrl/D, Alt/Tab, Ctrl/V, STE

to compile a book with no purports/Trans, (TLC, NOD, EJ, KB, RTW, MOG) or lectures, conversations and letters

select text, Ctrl/D, Alt/Tab, Ctrl/V, E

Editing

• Quote text copied from VedaBase must remain exactly 'as is'. Do not correct spelling or grammar, and do not 'skip' through the text to select your quote (quotes must be taken from contiguous text).
  • It is not necessary, however, to include the entirety of a single speaker's passage (in other words, you don't have to start your quote at the very beginning of a speaker's contribution to the conversation).
• Headings may include minor editing for clarity.

Self edit

• self edits should be done after compiling each page, preferably before saving. As time goes on, it becomes natural to do partial self edits as each quote is being compiled, so that the final self edit is very clean.

• check if - All speakers are identified in all of the conversations, and all of the philosophy discussions and only in the lectures when there is one or more people other than Prabhupada speaking

• check if - there is consistency for headings

• check if - any purports have been compiled in the `SB 10.14 - 12 section and delete when found

• check if - there are double quotes compiled and deleted when found

• check if - check if the correct sections are compiled

• check if - check if quotes or headings beginning words are not cut example: "Devotional" should not be "evotional"

• check if - cited verses are properly arranged. If when editing they get buggy, then if they are not autocorrected with the "save"" then we should click edit, compile, save

• check if
