Worklog from 3:12 PM 4/29/2026
Quick Overview
Work has been done to continue streamlining and standardizing Index pages across Depepartments and Libray sub-domains.
What’s New
As of 3:12 PM 4/29/2026 here are the following updates given by worklog entries:
- Since last update have been uploading and refining the library and various pipelines.
- The MGU Encyclopedia now has Top Level Index pages.
- The Computer Science and Martial Arts domains now have top level article entries.
- The rest of the domains are merely placeholder for now.
- Article content is growing expeditiously.
- The defense Department has been slightly re-arranged.
- Aikido, Karate, and MaloneRyu has been added to Defense along with Martial Arts Library.
- The Community boards have been redesigned moving much of the forums into the Malone Panther as chat/discussion columns.
- MGU Clubs is now a thing.
Details
- The first club is the Malone Political Party Student Alliance.
- This club is formed to promote the political doctrine of the Malone Party.
- Effort is taken to ensure clear separation of MGU, The Malone Party, student groups, and political studies to ensure neutrality where needed.
FYI: Since Malone Global University is a non-profit non accredited academy it does not follow governmental hoop hoping to maintain Federal funding. MGU is self funded using a model like Hillsdale College, a private institution. There are laws that state universities cannot show bias towards political parties. Doing so risks their Federal funding. This is not an issue because 1) separation between entities exists; 2) The online portal is spun off from physical locations and not seeking Federal Funding. This creates freedom to "Tell it how it is" without being ruled by government money.
Neither of the following violates Federal Funding rules:
- Teachers can tech Malone Doctrine alongside Monroe and other Doctrines without showing bias.
- Faculty can lead student political clubs to discuss strategy and activism projects.
The above is how MGU is currently operating so if it wanted to pursue accreditation it would be eligible. The main reasons accreditation is not being pursued right now is the lack of a board of directors. No governance = No federal accreditation.
I am stuck at forks with regards to certain coursework.
- Statistics courses need to be bult from existing outlines.
- Existing courses need to be refined and hydrated (they are too 'thin' right now serving only as surveys, not trash).
- Professional studies is a doozy. writing exists at at least three different, and most likely more, depth levels. To standardize is possible, but slow and difficult.
- proprietary cms and ssg code is very promising but at this stage of site development complicated. It makes pages look and feel more professional but lose the minimalistic simplicity and ease of use that exists now.
- I can make pages look stunning but it might distract from overall utility.
- I vary between what level to write at and what level to publish at.
- Without clear audience to write for tone varies from formal to casual.
- Professional studies are written at graduate level while encyclopedia is casual and direct.
- I can write high quality but that slows me down. I can write faster but that causes quality to drop.
- Finding the balance between speed and quality is difficult.
- If I write at the highest level the audience is professional adults. This should be my main focus.
- If the writing is too complicated I can dumb it down to undergraduate or high school level.
On the other hand writing thin lessons as a first course, then embellishing to build it up as a second course, then finally giving it the gold standard polish to make it post graduate level seems ideal because speed is optimized, but outlines suffer and trying to hydrate an outline that is too causal does not scale well. Serious projects require in-the-middle approach at the graduate level which can then be raised or lowered as needed. I find this gives the most flexibility, productivity, and value.
Purpose
To provide a cleaner taxonomy for better navigation
Lessons Learned
I learned better ways to organize and present taxonomical heirarchies.
Next Steps
- Build more indices for MGU Encyclopedia disciplines and sub-disciplines.
- Write articles according to taxonomy.
- Start working on Online Version of Malone Doctrine.
- Start refactoring aikido wix posts.
