Summary
Last Meeting
- James to follow up on unfinished actions
Project Updates
- Open Shakespeare, now on Github:
- http://github.com/okfn/shakespeare
Open Correspondence
- Definitely worth discussing integration with Textus, but HyperNotes might also be a possibility (http://hypernotes.dev.okfn.org/)
- Some of the Open Correspondence data is now in Bibserver, XML into JSON over the weekend
- Perhaps could be tied in with the Dickens anniversary celebrations?
TEXTUS
- Sign up for TEXTUS user testing https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dEhSTy1rYk9pOFNzbTJZUmt5NDRJZEE6MQ – please circulate
- Tentative slides for tomorrow – https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/14Z_LJZYqw86VT2aBhgPToX8z80wH8dfKykvqx-h0pao/edit (not really meant to be stand-alone)
- Potential danger of defining ‘annotation’ so formally, when the word is used widely and loosely across the OKF?
- More information about TEXTUS
- TEXTUS emails should be kept on the Open Humanities list, until they become too numerous:
- http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/open-humanities
- http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/humanities-dev
- Pure philosophy questions will remain on Open Philosophy, in order to insulate the Open Philosophy advisory board
