The Text Encoding Initiate Consortium (TEI-C) invites nominations for
election to the TEI-C Board and Council. Nominations should be sent to
Daniel O'Donnell at daniel.odonnell(a)uleth.ca by September 1, 2006.
Elections will take place at the annual Members's Meeting in October,
2005.
Self-nominations are welcome and common. They should include a brief
statement of interest and biographical paragraph. All nominations should
include an email address for the nominee and should indicate whether the
nomination is for Board or Council.
The TEI-C Board is the governing body for the TEI Consortium, and is
responsible for its strategic and financial oversight. The TEI-C Council
oversees the technical development of the TEI Guidelines. Service in
either group is an opportunity to help the TEI grow and serve its
members better.
For more information on the Board please see:

For more information on the Council please see:

TEI-C membership is NOT a requirement to serve on the Board or Council.
Candidates should be familiar with the TEI and should be willing to
commit time to discussion, decision-making, and TEI activities. If you
have ideas about how to make the TEI stronger or can help it do a better
job, nominate yourself! Or, if you know someone who you think could
contribute to TEI, nominate him or her!

A couple of months ago, I announced that I'd taken on an intern for the
summer who was going to start adding project descriptions to our wiki.
She has just added the first tranche.
She will be getting in touch directly with project contact people to let
them know their project is listed now, and to invite them to take a look
to make sure the presentation and information is what they would want to
see--and to invite them to make any improvements they would like to see.
In the meantime, though, I thought I'd make a general announcement.
You ca go to the project list directly by following this link:
http://sql.uleth.ca/dmorgwiki/index.php/Category:Projects
If your project is not listed there, let me encourage you to add a page
about it, or let us know (caedmon(a)uleth.ca) so we can start a page for
you. Beginning a new page on the wiki is as simple as signing in, and
then typing the name you'd like for your page in the address line after
index.php/. You then get the edit screen and away you go.
E.g. If I wanted to make a page on the Grinch starting at the main page:
1) Signup and login
2) change "Main_Page" in the URL in the URL line of my browser with the
page name I want:
> http://sql.uleth.ca/dmorgwiki/index.php/Main_Page > http://sql.uleth.ca/dmorgwiki/index.php/Digital Grinch Project
(spaces and punctuation are allowed in Wiki URLs)
3) Start editing
The wiki language is also pretty easy:
=Heading 1=
==Heading 2==
===Heading 3===
====Heading 4====

P.S. I'm happy to look at and clean up any code!
