29 Apr '09

Hi all, A repeat of my last: we need to run board elections. Could I have a volunteer to act as returning officer and nomination person? I can't, as I am a candidate. In Lyon we discussed getting things back on track. Now's our chance. -dan -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell Associate Professor of English University of Lethbridge Chair and CEO, Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org/) Founding Director, Digital Medievalist Project (http://www.digitalmedievalist.org/) Chair, Electronic Editions Advisory Board, Medieval Academy of America Vox: +1 403 329-2377 Fax: +1 403 382-7191 (non-confidental) Home Page: http://people.uleth.ca/~daniel.odonnell/

Experience with scholarly society ecommerce?
by Dan O'Donnell 24 Mar '09

24 Mar '09

Hi all (sorry for cross posting), This is a TAN, but the group here is very likely to have some of the experience I'm looking for. At the TEI, we are investigating ways of automating subscriber, member, and conference registration with an eye to accepting credit cards and preparing the ground for some additional members benefits. Currently, the software we are looking at most intensely is Zencart, an open source PHP- and MySQL-based shopping cart system that is well supposed by Credit Card redemption companies. We can get it to do most of what we want, but there are some odd bits: for example it seems to be impossible to get it to stop shouting about the fact that we are offering free shipping on your memberships and conference subscription. And of course there is maintenance overhead associated with any complex software. This makes me wonder if a full shopping cart might be more than we need. Does anybody have experience at any of their various projects and/or societies with setting up membership and conference registration, preferably with the option to accept credit cards? Since this is TAN, please contact me offlist! -dan -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell Associate Professor of English University of Lethbridge Chair and CEO, Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org/) Founding Director, Digital Medievalist Project (http://www.digitalmedievalist.org/) Chair, Electronic Editions Advisory Board, Medieval Academy of America Vox: +1 403 329-2377 Fax: +1 403 382-7191 (non-confidental) Home Page: http://people.uleth.ca/~daniel.odonnell/

InterEdition
by James Cummings 22 Mar '09

22 Mar '09

Hi there, In reference to the mention of the InterEdition project in the discussion on ANSAX-L, now copied to DM-L, the interedition project is indeed up and running, and is funded until April 2012. As a COST action no work is funded on the project -- that is donated by those participating in the action -- but some expenses for meetings. The action has recently had a meeting and developer's boot-camp where work started in earnest on one of the prototypes (a collation engine). The project website is http://www.interedition.eu/ Hope that helps, -James ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Patrick Conner <Patrick.Conner(a)MAIL.WVU.EDU> To: ANSAX-L(a)listserv.wvu.edu Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2009 17:25:32 -0400 Subject: Re: [ANSAX-L] Digital Edition Interfaces Thank's Marcin. Problem is, the site was last updated November 28th, 2007. Is EU STILL financing it? That would certainly be a powerful arm to support it.

MIME from ansax-l, was Re: The Future of Digital Editing
by Sharon Goetz 20 Mar '09

20 Mar '09

I weeded a few of the "me too" responses and, in one case, included someone's postscript message without also including its antecedent because the postscript quotes the antecedent in full. (Clear?) Otherwise, the conversation so far on ANSAX-L should be attached, in thread order, without (alas) the trimming of extensive quotation.... The digest begins with the context that precedes Dot's message. If you have trouble reading the MIME digest, please let me know off-list. Cheers, Sharon
