AFAIK we are good to go for our next session tomorrow, Tue 12-20 at 17:00Z. That's 09:00 in Vancouver, 12:00 in New York, 17:00 in London, and 18:00 in Vienna. Anyone volunteer to establish the Google Hangout and send out the URL? (I have trouble with Google on this machine, so would prefer not to do that myself.)

Fwd: Customizations provided by the TEI Consortium, TEISimple
by Kevin Hawkins 10 Feb '17

10 Feb '17

Could the Council put together a response to this? I'm happy to forward, or someone could write to him directly. If you'd like me to adjust any of the wording at http://www.tei-c.org/Guidelines/Customization/ adjusted, I can do that too. -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Customizations provided by the TEI Consortium, TEISimple Date: Mon, 30 Jan 2017 18:04:52 +0000 From: Laczny, Joachim <laczny(a)sub.uni-goettingen.de> To: info(a)tei-c.org <info(a)tei-c.org> Dear Sir or Madam, At the end of 2016 under “Customizations provided by the TEI Consortium” the “TEI simplePrint: An entry-level customization, focused primarily on the needs of those encoding Western European early modern printed material” was added to the existing list (http://www.tei-c.org/Guidelines/Customization/). In the article, /Mueller, Martin; Rahtz, Sebastian; Zillig, Brian Pytlik; Cummings, James; Turska, Magdalena (2015): TEI Simple: An Introduction. A tour of TEI Simple from an encoding perspective. Online at https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://github.com/TEIC/TEI-Simple/blob/mast…, 8.2015, 18.01.2017/, it is mentioned, that “TEI Simple targets the area of Letters in the broad and old-fashioned sense of that term. Its choice of elements reflects the practices followed in the encoding of large-scale archives, notably the archives produced by the Text Creation Partnership, but also the German Text Archive and a variety of archives encoded according to Level 4 of the Best Practices for TEI in Libraries. It is simple only with regard to its <text> element.” For that I would like to ask: Will there be any further “Customizations provided by the TEI Consortium” concerning the “TEI Simple”, including e. g. manuscripts and letters, in the near future? Yours faithfully, Joachim Laczny -- Joachim Laczny Bibliotheksreferendar Georg-August-Universität Göttingen Niedersächsische Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Göttingen D-37070 Göttingen Platz der Göttinger Sieben 1 (Zentralbibliothek, Raum 0.35) +49 551 39-4106 (Tel.) +49 551 39-5222 (Fax) laczny(a)sub.uni-goettingen.de<mailto:laczny@sub.uni-goettingen.de> www.sub.uni-goettingen.de<https://email.gwdg.de/owa/redir.aspx?C=5dbwBrhCwFXG-b6eFTaBqA885xP6nfwnSmpT…>

can bis go bye-bye?
by Syd Bauman 03 Feb '17

03 Feb '17

What's with "TEI pour les cartes postales"? It is an ODD in ./P5/Exemplars/tei_bare_bis.odd which, as far as I can tell, is never built or used in any process, whether bash file, ANT file, or Makefile. It's version history says it has barely been tweaked since it was added to our old Subversion repository 2011-01-23 by Lou with the comment "add useless alt syntax version". It's also quite out of date, and has at least a few errors. (E.g., it is invalid because it is missing a <publisher> or equivalent, and it is erroneous because it does not include <teiHeader>. (The 'teiHeader' inclusion is on the <moduleRef> for the textstructure module, but it is actually in the header module.) If it is useless, unused, broken, and out of date, maybe we can ditch it? Anyone remember why it is there in the first place?

Roma replacement wireframes
by Raffaele Viglianti 30 Jan '17

30 Jan '17

Hi all, I've put together some wireframes for the new Roma user interface: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1sUESuY9pF3DkHoQMJJjrVMV2SPFQY E1YqmGrpA3wrMM/edit?usp=sharing They're a bit crude, but they're really meant to guide our discussion at the F2F. If you get a chance in the next few days, please review! Some things to consider: - is there anything there that doesn't match your expectations when it comes to creating ODDs? Have I made any wrong assumptions? - what other operations should people be able to do? - any ideas for a "decision tree" to help people choose an existing customization or TEI subset? - any ideas for visualization / overview of the customization? - suggestions specific to interface and user interaction etc. See you in a few days!

At that very same time (15:00 CET) on Thursday 26th I will be presenting a paper at the AIUCD conference in Rome. My apologies...

xxe and simplePrint
by Lou Burnard 26 Jan '17

26 Jan '17

For the benefit of the confused, let me point out that the suggestion of getting an xxe-based implementation of simplePrint is not meant to preclude using either some other xml editor or some other schema. But xxe/xmlmind has the advantage over e.g. oxygen of being FREE to distribute, which matters a lot to some people, and also (amongst other free xml editors) the advantage of being reasonably fully-featured. And I believe the TEI is supposed to be enhusiastic about simplePrint.

tei xml mind
by Lou Burnard 25 Jan '17

25 Jan '17

I see that the nice people at XXE mind are now offering free downloadable versions of xml mind editor for personal use (http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/download.shtml) : they offer versions customized versions for docbook and dita and xhtml. Why not for TEI SimplePrint?

Telecon on Thursday
by Hugh Cayless 23 Jan '17

23 Jan '17

Hi All, As Syd mentioned, we have a teleconference coming up on Thursday at 09:00 EST / 14:00 GMT / 15:00 CET. I've posted a draft agenda, to which you should feel free to add items for discussion, at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1RaZzryH4e80q2VeY4yd_QKBDzE2a62FDbOE2IXU…. I've been remiss about assigning tickets, partly because we were going through membership changes and because we didn't meet in December, but I will start doling them out this week. For our new members: this doesn't necessarily mean "go fix it", but look into it and try to figure out what's going on with it, ask for clarification from the creator if needed, and add comments that will help us as we discuss it. Thanks! Hugh

upcoming telcon
by Syd Bauman 23 Jan '17

23 Jan '17

If I am correct, we have a teleconference scheduled for this coming Thu 01-26. I will be at a (non-DH) conference in New Orleans, so I will make only the first part of the call, if any. One of the agenda items should be to get our new members (Sarah Stanley and Alexandro Bia) situated. I am happy to mentor either of them. (And there is some added efficiency to my mentoring Sarah, as we are in the same time zone and are already working on a project together; that said, Sarah might want exposure to some other member of Council.) If I do make the call, I hope to be able to address the TOCTOC (aka odd4odds) schema. As a reminder Council agreed at the October 2015 F2F that this schema should be included in Exemplars/. But quite a few details were left for later, including: * its name * how it gets built (I've pretty much solved this by now) * how we "sell" it, given that it is not like other schemas (i.e., it is not really designed to differentiate valid from invalid ODD files, but rather to help you create an ODD file that roma is happy with) * for what files, if any, it should be the default schema when using our oXygen framework I'll try to have a version of it up & available for everyone to look at by Wed morning.
