No Meeting Tomorrow
by Hugh Cayless 22 Feb '17

22 Feb '17

Hi all, Just to avoid confusion: we generally don't have teleconferences in the same month as face-to-face meetings, so our next meeting will be March 30th at 09:00 EDT / 14:00 BST / 15:00 CEST. Sorry to disappoint anyone who was looking forward to meeting tomorrow :-). Hugh

So who on current council would like to dive in with a view on how to improve chap23? You really shouldn't leave all those tickets to me! e.g. https://github.com/TEIC/TEI/issues/1586

I'm willing to be one of those involved and have been reading Michael's tickets but haven't really had a chance to dive back into the conformance prose to see what it is we really say.

As a reminder to all, http://www.tei-c.org/Board/procedures.xml#body.1_div.8 outlines what can be claimed per diem for the meeting last week, that is, for the meeting and associated travel, not for extra days. The public day meeting counts, because that was a TEI outreach event. The US DoS per diem rate for Prague is $136, per https://aoprals.state.gov/web920/per_diem_action.asp?MenuHide=1&PostCode=10… That seems high to me, as Prague seemed cheaper than Vienna, but maybe the State Department stays in nicer hotels. I dunno. So we are eligible to claim 70% of that, which is $95.20. Incidentals: Morning: $4.76 (5%) Afternoon: $6.66 (7%) Evening: $7.62 (8%) Meals: Breakfast: $19.04 (20%) Lunch: $26.65 (28%) Dinner: $30.46 (32%) You should obviously not request reimbursement for meals paid for by someone else, so when Syd picked up the check, he will just submit that for reimbursement. I know some of you were (as I was) caught up in various weather-related delays and cancellations. Expenses incurred as the result of these count as travel expenses, as far as I'm concerned, and are reimbursable. I had to take the train from NYC to Durham, and I'm submitting that ticket (coach class; I did upgrade myself to business class, and I'm not asking for the upgrade cost back). All the best, Hugh

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?

Fwd: XML Mind for XML-TEI
by Alejandro Bia 08 Feb '17

08 Feb '17

Dear all, Yesterday, as agreed during the meeting, I wrote to the XML Mind developers. Now we have a response, but unfortunately, it's not positive. I could insist, but the answer left no door open. As suggested, we could build our own customization for such editor. Anyway, I think this issue is not of high priority to the TEI. We can discuss it later... Best, Alex.- PS: Tomorrow, please don't change the restaurant... it's too cold out there... :-) >Alejandro Bia wrote: >>Dear XML Mind developers, >> >>My name is Alejandro Bia and I'm writing as a >>member of the TEI Council (technical steering >>group of the Text Encoding Initiative): >>http://www.tei-c.org/Activities/Council/ >> >>I was asked to contact you, to see if you would >>be interested in building a customized version >>("special edition") of XML Mind for the TEI >>users community, as you already have special >>editions for DocBook, DITA and XHTML. >> >>TEI is a widely used XML vocabulary that became >>the de-facto standard for Digital Humanities, >>with a large community of users worldwide. >>Oxygen XML Editor offers customizations for TEI, > >SyncRO Soft the company behind Oxygen XML Editor >has much, much more (10x? 20x?) work force than >Pixware, the company behind XMLmind. > >>as well as for DocBook, so we asked ourselves: >>why not have a TEI customized version of XML Mind as well? > >Two reasons for that: > >1) To my knowledge, the TEI vocabulary is at >least as huge as DocBook's or DITA's. > >Developing a configuration for TEI at least as >comprehensive as the configurations for DocBook, >DITA or XHTML (toolbar, menu, templates, etc) >would take at least 3 months for hard work for an experienced XMLmind engineer. > >We are not sure that this investment, which is >quite important for us (~30,000), would repay. > >2) A French public organization -- Biblissima, >http://www.biblissima-condorcet.fr/en -- is >(was?) supposed to develop an XMLmind configuration for TEI. > >This TEI add-on for XMLmind is intended to be >released publicly as free, open source, software. > >They started years ago.
