I update entries in my areas of interest. The worst problem I find in my areas tend to be the recycling of old encyclopedia articles.

Junicode 0.6.13 released
by Peter Baker 01 May '07

01 May '07

Junicode 0.6.13 is now available at http://junicode.sf.net. Here are the release notes: This release continues to add characters from the MUFI recommendation to benefit medievalists. Many messy outlines have been cleaned up, improving efficiency and reducing the likelihood of bugs. Most of the goodies in this release are for users of OpenType-aware programs such as InDesign and XeTeX: the OpenType features list has been thoroughly worked over and rationalized, and consistency imposed across all four faces (though it is still true that there are more OpenType features in Regular than in the other three). Use of ccmp, mark and mkmk has been greatly expanded, making use of combining diacritics more practical than before. Many MUFI glyphs have been made accessible via OpenType features, especially ccmp (for glyph+diacritic combination) and hlig (Historical Ligatures). Fractions, Roman numbers, subscripts and the various "Enclosed Alphanumerics" have been made accessible as ligatures (either liga, Standard Ligatures, or dlig, Discretionary Ligatures). Peter Baker

[Fwd: cool tei tool to share]
by Herdsman Caedmon 03 Apr '07

03 Apr '07

I know some people on this list have been developing tools. There is also a session on manuscript encoding going on. Since this is the first TEI meeting to have a conference type set of sessions, we are quite keen on getting good papers in--and can afford to be a little gracious about deadlines. Let me encourage you to consider submitting abstracts on markup if you have some interesting ideas--it ain't every day one gets an audience of people who *want* to hear the gory details of your encoding, after all ;) If you have an idea for a markup paper but don't know where to submit, let me know and I'll help you find the right person. -dan -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD Chair, Text Encoding Initiative <http://www.tei-c.org/> Director, Digital Medievalist Project <http://www.digitalmedievalist.org/> Associate Professor and Chair of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Vox: +1 403 329 2378 Fax: +1 403 382-7191 Homepage: http://people.uleth.ca/~daniel.odonnell/

Conference Session Call for Papers: Markup as Theory of the Text (Final Call)
by Herdsman Caedmon 29 Mar '07

29 Mar '07

(apologies for cross posting) Call for papers, Markup as theory of text. TEI Members Meeting, 1-3 November, 2007, University of Maryland. http://www.lib.umd.edu/dcr/events/teiconference/index.html This session will look at digital markup from the point of view of its underlying theoretical assumptions and implications. Some questions we are interested in considering: 1) What are the theoretical implications of digital markup for editors, paleographers, book historians, literary critics, linguists, etc. Are they different from, similar to, or of a completely different order from previous print practice? 2) Are markup schemas theories of the structure of a text in the way that linguistic theories are theories of language or literary theories are theories about literature? Do they/should they have theoretical lives of their own? 3) Does electronic markup change the way we look at text? We are open to other understandings of the topic and papers do not need to concentrate specifically, exclusively, or at all on the TEI. They can be broad ranging or concentrate on specific smaller issues.
