Hi everyone-- Do any of us have connections with the evidently ongoing work of Wikipedia's Wikisource editions? I've been noticing these increasingly lately as I'm preparing for classes and hunting for readily available online texts. They are evidently working with a controlled vocabulary (see: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Template:Header and https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Help:Adding_texts ) but I wonder what connection if any they (or we) might envision between the texts they are preparing and the TEI community. I fear the answer is, "no connection," and "we aren't involved and can't be", but I hope there's perhaps some overlap in our communities here--they are evidently putting some energy into generating new editions for the public web lately.
On an unrelated note, I just booked my tickets for the TEI conference and our F2F--I'll be arriving Saturday 11/11, probably around 4 - 5 pm, and I'll be leaving Saturday 11/18 with an 8:40pm red-eye flight. I'm staying in an AirBNB I found very close to U Vic about a block around the corner from the University Club--and I'd be happy to inquire of the host if there's another room or two in the vicinity--it seemed ideal.
Cheers, Elisa
