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@sub.uni-goettingen.de> To: info@tei-c.org <info@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/maste..., 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?
