Chaitali Content Development Cycle

• Chaitali is a structured TSAP content development event conducted from 1 March to 14 April 2026.

Clusters

• Work was carried out across multiple clusters, including: The Wall Street Journal, HuffPost, The Independent

Event Pages: Natural Language–Structured Data Hybrid System

• A structured event documentation system was designed and built from scratch, combining a natural language, Wikipedia-style narrative lead with a Wikidata-inspired structured data block.
• Each event page follows the permalink structure /events/YYYY/event-name/ and is categorised as either Events participated or Events organised, depending on Sunil Abraham’s role.

Page Structure

• Each event page contains a human-readable lead section followed by a structured data infobox rendered from YAML front matter.
• The infobox is stored in _includes/event-infobox.html and pulls property labels dynamically from _data/properties.yml, a custom property registry modelled on Wikidata’s property system (P1–P6).
• This separation of data, meaning, and presentation ensures consistency across all event pages without hardcoding labels in HTML.

Infobox Design

• The infobox renders as a flat two-column table with a blue left accent bar, italic property labels, and Unicode icons per field:
  • 🏷️ instance of
  • 📅 date
  • 📍 location
  • 🎭 role
  • 🏛️ organiser
  • 🌐 official website
• RDFa attributes (vocab="https://schema.org/", typeof="Event", property="") are included on all fields, making event data machine-readable by Google’s Knowledge Graph and schema.org validators.
• The heading “Event details” appears above the table, outside the border.

Property Registry

• _data/properties.yml defines six properties with internal IDs (P1–P6) and human-readable labels.
• Page YAML remains human-readable (event_type, location, etc.), while the infobox resolves labels dynamically via site.data.properties.
• This enables site-wide label changes from a single file.

Query System

• A dedicated event query interface was built, modelled on the Wikidata Query Service UI.
• It extracts all event pages at Jekyll build time into a JavaScript data array using Liquid, then filters client-side with no backend required.
• Features include tag-chip inputs with autocomplete (event type, location, organiser, role), keyword search, date range filters, sortable table and card views, CSV and JSON export, and URL state syncing via history.replaceState() for shareable queries.

Event Page

• The first event page created under this system is Pune Public Policy Festival 2026.

Relevant Files

• _includes/event-infobox.html — infobox template
• _data/properties.yml — property registry
• /events/2026/pune-public-policy-festival.md — first event page
• Live page: https://sunilabraham.in/events/2026/pune-public-policy-festival/

Cluster Audit

• The Times of India cluster (The Times of India) was rechecked, and additional previously missed articles were identified and added.

Dual Deployment Experiment

• Experimented with simultaneous deployment of the same GitHub repository to both GitHub Pages and Cloudflare Pages, establishing a dual-deployment architecture with https://sunilabraham.in/ remaining the canonical public site and a secondary Cloudflare Pages deployment functioning as a mirror and backup.
• The Cloudflare Pages deployment was configured using the existing Jekyll workflow (jekyll build, output directory _site) directly from the main branch without affecting the GitHub Pages setup, DNS configuration, or custom domain settings.
• Testing confirmed that commits triggered independent deployment pipelines on both platforms simultaneously from the same repository and branch.
• Significant investigation was carried out into preventing indexing of the Cloudflare mirror by search engines.
• The adopted solution used a Cloudflare Pages _headers configuration file containing hostname-specific X-Robots-Tag: noindex, nofollow, noarchive rules targeting only the Cloudflare deployment.

• Preserved the TSAP GitHub repository in Software Heritage, creating an independently archived copy of the repository and its Git history.
• This preservation milestone has been documented on the Preservation page.

Automatic Last Updated Dates

• Implemented Automatic Last Updated Dates, a Git-based system that generates page modification dates from repository history and displays them automatically through the Page Data component.
• The system uses a Python script to create a structured YAML data file, eliminating the need for manual maintenance of last_updated fields while remaining compatible with GitHub Pages and static-site workflows.

Release History

• Established a formal release history for TSAP by creating and publishing the retrospective GitHub release TSAP Version 1.0.
• The release is anchored to a historical repository snapshot from 1 January 2026 through the Git tag v1.0, providing a preserved and verifiable reference point within the project’s development history.

Homepage Automation

• Automated the “From the Newest Pages” section on the homepage.
• Replaced the manually maintained list with a metadata-driven system based on the homepage_featured: true parameter.
• Featured pages are now automatically sorted by creation date, with the five most recent pages displayed on the homepage.

GitHub Issues

• Began using the TSAP GitHub Issues Tracker for tracking bugs, investigations, maintenance tasks, and feature development.
• GitHub Issues now serves as a centralised and version-controlled location for documenting, investigating, and resolving project-related work.

Broken Links Checker

• Implemented a Broken Links Checker, a sitemap-driven maintenance system that identifies internal links pointing to pages that no longer exist.
• The system compares repository links against URLs published in the live sitemap and generates a structured YAML report for integration with the Maintenance dashboard.
• Using the sitemap as the authoritative source significantly reduces false positives while remaining compatible with GitHub Pages and static-site workflows.

TSAP Tools Used

• Created the TSAP Tools page documenting the software, services, platforms, and technologies used in the operation and maintenance of The Sunil Abraham Project.

Top Utility Bar

• Replaced the previous floating utility box with a top-left hamburger drawer integrated into the fixed top bar.
• Search functionality remains accessible from the right side of the interface while utility controls are housed within the drawer.
• The implementation includes responsive sizing, keyboard support, ARIA states, and backdrop-close functionality.
• The feature remains experimental and may undergo further refinement.

A. M. A. Ayrookuzhiel

• Started the chapter-by-chapter digital edition of Swami Anand Thirth: Untouchability, Gandhian Solution on Trial by Rev. A. M. A. Ayrookuzhiel.
• Work included creating a dedicated Swami Anand Thirth category, publishing standalone full-text pages for the original Preface and Introduction, integrating the material into site navigation, and documenting significant textual differences between the 1987 edition and the version preserved in Essays on Dalits, Religion and Liberation (2006).

Infrastructure

• Migrated DNS management for sunilabraham.in from BigRock DNS to Cloudflare DNS while retaining BigRock as the domain registrar.
• The migration included DNS auditing, record verification, restoration of omitted records discovered during import, nameserver deployment, and activation testing.
• The result is that DNS authority now resides with Cloudflare while registration and renewal responsibilities remain with BigRock.
• Implemented custom-domain email support for sunilabraham.in using Cloudflare Email Routing.
• The deployment included DNS configuration, inbound and outbound mail testing, and verification across multiple providers and devices.
• The configuration provides custom-domain email capability without requiring a separate email-hosting service.

Biography Portal

• Started the Biography Portal.
• The portal documents TSAP’s work on creating biographies of individuals whose lives and contributions are relevant to the project’s areas of interest.

Version 1.9.1

• 16 new pages have been published this week between 7 June 2026 and 13 June 2026.

Pages Index System

• Implemented a Pages Index system using a generated /pages.json file, creating a machine-readable catalogue of content published on The Sunil Abraham Project.
• The system uses a Python script (scripts/generate_pages_json.py) to scan repository content, extract selected metadata, and generate a structured JSON index containing page titles, descriptions, creation dates, authors, categories, sources, and canonical URLs.
• Only pages containing a created field are included in the index.
• The generated file is published at /pages.json and currently indexes more than one thousand pages.
• The index serves as a retrieval layer for external tools and bots, enabling rapid content discovery without requiring direct access to Jekyll internals or repository files.

Cryptographic Signing

• Implemented a cryptographic signing and verification system for The Sunil Abraham Project using OpenPGP.
• The system provides authenticity, integrity, and long-term verifiability for selected institutional documents.
• TSAP now maintains a public cryptographic signing policy covering signing scope, identity management, verification procedures, and signed records.
• Signatures are currently issued using the OpenPGP key of Tito Dutta acting on behalf of TSAP.
• A register of signed documents has been established, including the Foundational Principles adopted on 31 May 2026 and cryptographically signed on 10 June 2026.

TSAPBot

• Implemented a private Telegram-based AI assistant (TSAPBot) for project administration, content discovery, and retrieval.
• The bot combines conversational AI capabilities with a retrieval layer powered by /pages.json.
• Current functionality includes content search, newest-page discovery, on-this-day page lookup, random page selection, index statistics, and index refresh operations.
• The bot also supports conversation memory, multilingual responses, and project-specific guidance through structured prompts and known facts.
• By combining AI assistance with retrieval from project-owned data, TSAPBot serves as both a private assistant and a lightweight interface for exploring and maintaining the project.

Footer Improvements

• Reorganised and simplified the TSAP footer to improve usability, accessibility, and long-term maintainability.
• Navigation links were grouped into logical sections covering project information, site navigation, and digital preservation.
• Footer-specific styling was moved into the footer include, making the component self-contained and easier to maintain.
• Added direct access to archived versions of pages through the Wayback Machine, Archive.today, and Ghost Archive, along with additional accessibility-related improvements.

Keyboard Shortcuts

• Added a keyboard shortcut for the Newest Pages section.
• Alt + Shift + W now opens /newest/.

Version 2.0

This report covers the period between 14 June 2026 and 16 June 2026. During this period, 8 new pages were published. With this report, the Project completes Version 2.0.

Page ID System

• Implemented a permanent Page ID system across The Sunil Abraham Project (TSAP). Each eligible page now receives a stable identifier in the format TSAP-0001, TSAP-0002, and so forth, stored as page_id in front matter. On 16 June 2026, identifiers were assigned to 1,069 existing pages through a repository-wide migration. The system establishes a foundation for future structured-data workflows, JSON exports, internal reference systems, maintenance tooling, and potential knowledge-graph applications while ensuring that identifiers remain permanent and are never reused.

Family Data System

• Initiated a structured Family Data system through the creation of _data/family.yml. The system serves as a central repository for family and biographical relationship data already documented within TSAP, allowing information to be maintained in one location and reused across multiple pages, infoboxes, timelines, navigation aids, and future visualisations. This represents an initial step towards modelling relationships as structured data rather than solely as prose.

Version 2.0 Milestone

• The Sunil Abraham Project reached Version 2.0 on Wednesday, 17 June 2026.

Reporting Schedule

• As Version 2.0 was completed and reported mid-week, there will be no weekly report on Sunday, 21 June 2026.
• The regular weekly reporting cycle will resume on Sunday, 28 June 2026.
