Dear Colleagues,
Thanks to those who responded to my previous query about project governance. Though I did not have anything to add in response, I learned a lot from the conversation.
I now have a quick question about Creative Commons attribution. For those of you using CC licenses (we are using CC-BY), I would be curious to know the following:
*Do you give a recommended wording on your site as to how attribution could be made? For example see this detailed example: http://graduates.treasury.gov.au/content/copyright.asp
*Do you ask your users to make explicit when their work is derivative or simple reproducing verbatim?
We would like to help users unfamiliar with CC (the majority of our users) by providing a short model attribute statement and I would like to find some good examples to work from.
thanks!

Dear Medievalists,
We are delighted to announce that the Digital Scholarly Editions
Initial Training Network (DiXiT) has been awarded a multi-million Euro
European grant for investigating the creation and publication of
digital scholarly editions.
DiXiT is an international network of high-profile institutions from
the public and the private sector offering a coordinated training and
research programme for early stage researchers and experienced
researchers in the multi-disciplinary skills, technologies, theories,
and methods of digital scholarly editing.
The programme includes twelve fellowships for early stage researchers
(PhD students) for a period of three years, and five fellowships for
experienced researchers (Post-Docs) for a period of 12 to 20 months.
The positions will be widely advertised starting from the month of
October.
DiXiT will also organise six training events at various levels (camps
& conventions), open to all DiXiT fellows as well as to other people
that may be interested in the topics covered.
The DiXiT network includes the following academic partners:
• University of Cologne (coordinator) – Germany

The Digital Index of Middle English Verse
www.dimev.net
OCLC: 806228661
Linne Mooney, Dan Mosser, Elizabeth Solopova, and David Radcliffe are pleased to take this opportunity at the Thirteenth Biennial Early Book Society Conference in St Andrews to announce the launch of The Digital Index of Middle English Verse. The project, begun in 1995 under the auspices of funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), has been available as a prototype since 2008, and in its current structure since 2011. Additional support from the University of Maine, the Leverhulme Trust, University of York Department of English and Related Literature, the Association for Manuscripts and Archives in Research Collections (AMARC), the Modern Humanities Research Association (MHRA), College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences (Virginia Tech), and the NEH, have allowed us to realize almost all of what was envisioned in 1995: transcriptions of the first two and last two lines of every witness to every scrap of Middle English verse; a searchable database, with "SEARCH RECORDS" options enabling searches by specific DIMEV, IMEV, and NIMEV numbers, browsing by alphabetic or number ranges, searches by AUTHOR, TITLE, SCRIBE, SUBJECT, VERSE FORM, and VERSE PATTERN (or combinations of these); the "SEARCH WITNESSES" option allows one to search MANUSCRIPTS by LOCATION and/or REPOSITORY; lists of early PRINTED BOOKS and INSCRIPTIONS are also available. Where witnesses (MS shelfmarks, etc.) are highlighted, clicking on the witness name will compile a list of that manuscript's Middle English verse contents in their order of appearance in that witness.
Where difficult or obsolete words are retained in the standardized headings, these are highlighted and linked to glosses, which may also be accessed by selecting GLOSSARY from the menu on the SEARCH RECORDS page. There, too, are menu selections DELETED RECORDS, or NEW RECORDS. Linguistic information is prepended to many manuscripts when their records are viewed by clicking on their shelfmarks. An extensive BIBLIOGRAPHY of editions and facsimiles of Middle English Verse is also available through a menu selection.
Should users detect any errors or be able to supply any missing transcriptions or other data, or wish to make suggestions for improvement, please feel free to contact us:

We are pleased to announce that the MESA federated search is live at http://www.mesa-medieval.org
The Medieval Electronic Scholarly Alliance (MESA) is a federated international community of scholars, projects, institutions, and organizations engaged in digital scholarship within the field of medieval studies. MESA seeks both to provide a community for those engaged in digital medieval studies and to meet emerging needs of this community, including making recommendations on technological and scholarly standards for electronic scholarship, the aggregation of data, and the ability to discover and repurpose this data.
Read about MESA, click through to the Advanced Search, create an account, add some tags, join in (or start) a discussion!
Many thanks to the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation for funding, to the MESA Steering Committee for steering us through the implementation process, to our project partners for agreeing to have their projects and collections included in the first iteration of MESA, and to all the medievalists who have expressed support and interest through the last year.
Any comments, thoughts, or criticism, please contact us at mesa-medieval(a)gmail.com.
Most Sincerely,
Tim Stinson and Dot Porter, MESA co-directors
