[Technical]: Suggestions for a replacement for Subversion?
by Daniel O'Donnell 31 Dec '14

31 Dec '14

Hi all, I have a technical question that isn't really medieval. I run several journals out of the Lethbridge Journal Incubator (you can learn more about the model here: http://journalincubator.org/). Until now, we've used Subversion as our central cloud storage. This year, however, I had a complete turnover in the graduate assistants, most of whom were not very technically inclined and I'm finding Subversion is more hassle than it is worth (it mostly works well, but if something goes wrong, the students can't fix it). What we need is a cloud based repository system, preferably one that allows us access to arbitrary revisions (students find it comforting to know they can always correct mistaken overwrites), and preferably does version control of some kind--either locking or svn-type comparison. Best, however, would be something very low maintenance, drag and drop, and preferably doesn't require the use of a special client for file manipulation (that's where our subversion issues come). I'm thinking Dropbox or Drive, though I don't know anything about setting those up for an organisation. Does anybody have any other tips? -dan -- From my Ubuntu notebook Daniel Paul O'Donnell Professor of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Canada +1 403 393-2539

by Franz Fischer 17 Dec '14

17 Dec '14

Dear digital medievalists, the following announcement might be of interest for editors among you... Best wishes, Franz / ***Apologies//for cross-posting***/ We are very pleased to announce the *Spring School* on */Advanced XML/TEI technologies for Digital Scholarly Editions/* organized and endorsed by the the Institute//for Documentology//and Digital Editing//(IDE) and the Digital Scholarly Editions Initial Training Network (DiXiT). The spring school will be run and held at the at the *Centre for Information Modelling – Austrian Centre for Digital Humanities at the University of Graz *from *13th to 17th April 2015*. The spring school is directed to participants with previous experience in XML/TEI editing who would like to involve themselves more intensively with the creation of digital scholarly editions based on the international encoding standard XML TEI P5. Besides addressing specific issues and use cases of text encoding, the participants will be trained what to do with the data once the encoding is done and how to process it further until the publication on the WWW. To this end the teaching will strongly focus on XPath, XSLT, HTML and CSS as technologies for the web publication of digital scholarly editions. Since the level of this spring school is advanced, previous knowledge of TEI practices is not only recommended but necessary for participation*.* The lectures will be held by experts from the field of Digital Scholarly Editing, related to the DiXiT network or the IDE (James Cummings, Franz Fischer, Ulrike Henny, Frederike Neuber, Torsten Schaßan, Martina Semlak, Magdalena Turska, Gunter Vasold, Georg Vogeler). Tara Andrews (Univ. of Bern) has agreed to give a keynote. The School will cover the following areas: * issues when working with XML TEI P5 (to be proposed by the participants) * customization of the TEI schema * creating web pages with HTML/CSS and JavaScript and JQuery * transforming the TEI XML with XSLT/XPath * publishing frameworks for digital scholarly editions * use cases for research on and with digital scholarly editions The *IDE-/meets-/DiXiT//Spring School* on */Advanced XML/TEI technologies for Digital Scholarly Editions/* is open to interested scholars**anywhere in the world with previous experience in digital scholarly editing with the TEI. As the course will strongly focus on practical exercise, we can accept only applications which can bring own material for the exercises. All teaching will be in English. The course offers 20 positions. Participants will be required to arrange their own accommodation and travel to Graz. The participation fee will be 100 EUR. A limited number of bursaries will be available for the participation fee, travel and accommodation in particular for participants from less developed countries and from Eastern Europe. *Application closes on 10**^st **February 2015*and early registration is highly recommended. For the application we need from you * your name, address, e-mail, institutional affiliation (if applicable) * a short description of your project * this online questionnaire <https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1-ndve0PQrcFwjaU21lhhX-1oybtx4mYD5pz-WsEPYZ…> If you want to be considered for the bursary please give indicate * approximate amount for travel and accommodation expenses * do you need a reduction on the participation fee? * academic status (graduate student, PhD student, PostDoc, fully trained scholar, other) Please send your application and any question you have to dixit(a)uni-graz.at <mailto:dixit@uni-graz.at> We will publish further information on the school at http://www.i-d-e.de/aktivitaeten/schools/spring-school-2015

Symposium: Toward a new social contract between publishers and editors
by Pierazzo, Elena 11 Dec '14

11 Dec '14

With usual apologies for cross posting ================================= Toward a new social contract between publishers and editors 26 January 2015, Maison de Science de l’Homme – Alpes, Grenoble NeDiMAH, the Network for Digital Methods in the Arts and Humanities, is delighted to announce this one-day seminar, which will bring together publishers and scholarly editors in order to discuss how best to produce digital editions which are at the same time both economically viable and in keeping with scholarly standards. In the pre-digital world, publishers and editors normally collaborated: the editors would produce the edition, following the guidelines provided by the publishing house, which for its part would take care of marketing and distribution, as well as essential scholarly services such as peer review. Digital scholarly editions, on the other hand, tend to be self-published by scholars within their own universities, most often without any connection with a publishing house – an arrangement which is hardly sustainable, for various reasons, and often not available to younger researchers producing their first editions and without access to suitable funding. At the same time, publishers are increasingly engaging with the digital, in particular in connection with tablet distribution. But the majority of such eBooks are generally not up to the standards expected by the scholarly community: in many ePubs, for instance, basic features such as footnotes are a luxury – to say nothing of a proper critical apparatus. How can be we best address these issues, to the mutual benefit of all involved parties – editors, publishers and the scholarly public? Organizers: Elena Pierazzo (University “Stendhal” Grenoble 3, France) Matthew Driscoll (University of Copenhagen, Denmark) Confirmed speakers: Editors Marjorie Burghart (EHSSE, Lyon, France) Caroline Macé (Goethe Universität Frankfurt am Main, Germany) Hilde Bøe (Munch Museum, Oslo, Norway) Espen Ore (Oslo University, Norway) Gabriella Ravenni (University of Pisa, Italy) Manuel Portela (University of Coimbra, Portugal) Publishers Brad Schott, Brambletye Publishing Pierre-Yves Buard, Presse Universitarie de Caen Rupert Gatti, Open Books publishers, Cambridge Pierre Mounier, Open Editions If you are interested in participating, please send an email to Andrea Penso at the following address by the 16th of January: andrea.penso(a)u-grenoble3.fr<mailto:andrea.penso@u-grenoble3.fr> Registration is free but obligatory. -- Elena Pierazzo Visiting Senior Research Fellow King's College London Department of Digital Humanities King's College London 26-29 Drury Lane London WC2B 5RL Professor of Italian Studies and Digital Humanities Bureau F307 Université de Grenoble 3 'Stendhal' BP 25 38040 Grenoble Cedex 9 Tel. +33 4 76828032
