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
