Tips on Duome

[Danika_Dakika]

According to the Tips page, "Every time a skill gets updated, Duome automatically caches the most recent edition; there may be seemingly "duplicate" tips and notes — these are taken from different tree versions, Duome keeps all of them for future reference." Where should I look to find those prior versions of the Tips for a skill?

I don't see them on the main Tips page for the course. Today I am looking specifically for the prior Tips for the "Numbers 2" skill in JA<EN (the list shows that a new version was just pushed on 23 June.)

Teşekkürler!

What was meant there is - sometimes they change the skill name form something like Basics to Basics1, and then Basics1 to Basics-1, but leave the content untouched. It's possible to track these duplicates as long as they're actually duplicates, but when there are some corrections applied to each of these versions we end up with a multitude of "basic-x" skills that can be 99% equal, yet they're not the same anymore, and all of them would be there on the list.

If the skill title didn't change, then there would be only the latest revision.

I can make older versions available as well, but we need a clean UI for that.

Oooh, okay! Thanks for the clarification!

Not sure where to post this.

Can you please help me with PM’s. There is a game starting “jumbler” that I was tagged in. I went to PM to ask for more instructions and it will not let me PM. It gives me an X when I add a name and it will not let me do that. PM’s seem necessary for this language game.

Thank you much. Happy 4th, if you celebrate this day !

P.S Not sure if I’m doing it right. It seems pretty simple to make a PM, though.

[mention]Meli578588[/mention] I think you have to select the person either through hitting the conversation bubble, or you can contact them if you have friended them. Otherwise you can use "Find a member" or reply to someone who has pm'd you. I don't think you can just type in a name.

Hello,
Can you take a look at my post in the Danish forum? viewtopic.php?t=10341-duome-tips-and-notes-missing

As far as I know, earlier, the Duome Tips and Notes were a mix all the available T&N of all the tree versions.

I think you did some cleaning at some point, so now only the T&N of the newest version are visible. Which helps in some cases...

But! For Danish, Tree 1 had a lot of Tips and Notes, while Tree 3 does not have many (thanks to the new guidelines...) So, showing both the Tree 1 and Tree 3 Tips and Notes on Duome would help users.

For the German from English course the old volunteer contributor tips are gone too and got overwritten by new ones from the updated CEFR course.

I'm surprised someone from the course team (at the Pittsburg US HQ?) is doing html formatted text edits instead of new mobile tips (staff tools only).

I found the old contributor Web Tips & Notes https://duome.eu/tips/en/de which metadata has got somehow hidden or overwritten by Duolingo staff archived here:

https://archive.ph/K6tee (8. January 2022)

Has 163 cached skills.

Older archive https://archive.ph/D7DDY from 10. September 2020 only has 162 cached skills.

For one one skill "Passport" there was an update on 19. October 2020 which is therefore included in the newer snapshot.

I turned off the filtering, there should be some duplicates now, but I think we may be better off marking the duplicates manually (this is something that needs better care than just some simple formula).. right?
