I see. It can get quite messy, however, such as with the Parivāra. Here the files are all over the place. Is it the problem that there is a mismatch between the json numbering system and the sequencing algorithm on Githib?

Thank you, Ajahn. Yes, I believe I have merged all your Kd changes into sutta-vinaya-abhidhamma. I double checked today and have confirmed that no new changes are in master.
Excellent. That is quite the relief. I have merged Ajahn Brahmali’s vinaya root changes into sutta-vinaya-abhidhamma branch.
Yes. I will start the merge in 24 hours at 0600 PST 1400GMT WED 2/19. All changes made before then will be merged in.
Git doesn’t lose things unless told to do so. But we are humanly fallible so double and triple checking will be necessary during the merge, which starts tomorrow. A simpler approach would be to refrain from changing anything this week until the merge is complete.
The branch was created on 1/21/2020 and has all changes made to master since then. At this point I think (?) we have everything in sutta-vinaya-abhidhamma. But of course I might be delusional.
I personally also prefer leading zero file numbering. However, that change is even more disruptive than the folder renaming. It is more disruptive because the software would have to deal with two conventions: sutta vs vinaya file numbering.
Long term, I’m hoping that Bilara itself will free us all up from the tyranny of alphabetic sorting of numeric filenames and that none of us will need to look at a file system listing again. In the interim, if using Linux, one can restore mental sanity somewhat with the “ls -v” option:
pli-tv-bi-vb-pc1_root-pli-ms.json
pli-tv-bi-vb-pc2_root-pli-ms.json
pli-tv-bi-vb-pc3_root-pli-ms.json
pli-tv-bi-vb-pc4_root-pli-ms.json
pli-tv-bi-vb-pc5_root-pli-ms.json
pli-tv-bi-vb-pc6_root-pli-ms.json
pli-tv-bi-vb-pc7_root-pli-ms.json
pli-tv-bi-vb-pc8_root-pli-ms.json
pli-tv-bi-vb-pc9_root-pli-ms.json
pli-tv-bi-vb-pc10_root-pli-ms.json
Sadly, I doubt Github will implement that particular feature anytime soon. As a consequence, I’ve brainwashed myself into alphabetically sorting filenames in my head.

Merge starting in 20 minutes at 0600PST 1400UTC
I’ve created a branch called pre-sva-master. This branch is simply the master before the sva merge. We can use it for double checking. It’s a temporary branch that will disappear once we are satisfied with the merge.

bilara-data sutta-vinaya-abhidhamma branch has been merged into suttacentral/bilara-data.
During the merge I discovered additional changes that had not been incorporated into sutta-vinaya-abhidhamma. Those changes have now been committed to sutta-vinaya-abhidhamma. See changelist fe68400 for more information about the changes brought into sutta-vinaya-abhidhamma.
Please update your suttacentral/bilara-data repositories on your local computers. This is quite a drastic change. If you do rely on a local repository, I recommend that you rename it to something like bilara-data.old and re-clone bilara-data into a brand new folder. The merge might create empty folders that you might find distracting.
At this point I can find zero differences between master and sutta-vinaya-abhidhamma. The merge is complete, but please do let me know if you find anything peculiar over the next few days. All SuttaCentral work can now proceed normally. Do take note of the new locations:
- …/sutta/…
- …/vinaya/…
- …/abhidhamma/…
I will now start work on the sc-voice fork of bilara-data, bringing that version of bilara-data up to the current. Anagarika @Sabbamitta, I’ll now switch to the Voice development thread to discuss changes in the Voice fork of bilara-data…
Thank you all for your help and patience!

Bilara has been updated.
It actually required no updates at all to use the new data structure, except it needed new error handling to handle the new errors :).
I added a fairly attention-grabbing display of detected errors under the browse view of Bilara, kind of like how Pootle would display problems. Except now, if you manually edit a JSON file and mess up the commas and doublequotes, your error will be visible for everyone to see 
Seriously this seemed like the best way to draw attention to any serious errors which prevent the application from working properly.
In case the errors are fixed before you get to see what it looks like, it looks like this:

Probably yes—I don’t think she’s in any authors’ list.

Anagarika Sabbamitta and I have just confirmed that we can submit pull-requests from the sc-voice fork of bilara-data. Anagarika will regularly submit pull-requests for new/updated translations. This will be identical to the dev process that, for example HongDa follows to update SC software. Any SC admin can review and approve content pull requests. I’ll be happy to do so as long as there are no for volunteers for this task (typically it would be a task for a Content Editor to approve content changes).
FYI, to complete the sutta-vinaya-abhidhamma merge into sc-voice/bilara-data, we had to actually DELETE the sc-voice/bilara-data and start a new fork. There were simply too many commits to merge with all the changes being forked and merged. We then forked a new bilara-data for sc-voice from suttacentral. Deleting a repository is rare in the git universe, so I hope nobody will miss the deleted history. Both Anagarika and I have copies of the deleted repository, so contact either one of us if you need historical changes to sc-voice/bilara-data.

I don’t know if this is relevent here (caused by updates)

Dear Sabbamitta, I took the liberty of deleting your tags to Blake, as the problem was fixed, and didn’t want to bother him unnecessarily.

I was just wondering about a message I had been sent about this… yes, thanks for that!

Thanks, @Blake. This is very useful. There seems to be a small bug, however.
I’ve been fixing up problems through bilara-data, but the error message doesn’t disappear in bilara.
Would you please have a look at this?

Bhante @sujato, the name “Khuddakanikāya” is not in the super-names file.
This means that we cannot show the text “Khuddakanikāya” in any Tipitaka user interface based on the names structure. I’m not sure what the desired behavior is.

I’ve now filled in all the fields for supername in both root and translation.
