Issues related to the RTZ People Pages
- The RTZ as a closed system:
- Only people involved (as tertons, authors, scribes, etc.) in the RTZ have been given people pages.
- The exception being early figures (GR, 25 disciples, etc.), which are included as source authors, since they are referenced as emanation basis' and in origin narratives of individual treasure texts, cycles, etc.
- Only those who have an RTZ page are included in teacher/student fields. (Thus there should be no unused people links. External links for BDRC and TOL are already included for more detailed accounts of these figures beyond there works in the RTZ, so no need to repeat all of the same info found on those sites)
- Is it possible for fields (emanation, teacher, student, etc) to be filled automatically?
- For example, if I input somebody as having Jigme Lingpa as a teacher, can that person then automatically appear as a student on Jigme Lingpa's page?
- We don't have a field for future/subsequent rebirths/emanations, but could we make one that automatically fills from the data that has already been inputted? For example, if I want to have all the emanations of, say, Trisong Deutsen appear on his page, could we do that without having to run a query and then manually input all the names that come up?
- What needs to be displayed?
- Both Tibetan and Wylie versions of the Gyatsa bios? Maybe one or both of these can be hidden and viewed via an 'expand' tab.
- Add "List of Cycles" as well as individual works.
- Images
- We should be within fair usage limits according to HAR's guidelines: "Provided the source is cited, personal, educational and non-commercial use (as defined by fair use in US copyright law) is permitted.", though that means we would have to provide a link to their site for each images we use. This seems to be what TOL does, so maybe we should ask Alex G. about this.
- I plan to use images we already have, such as line drawings included in this edition of the RTZ and the Tsagli collections.
