RSS News server
by Daniel O'Donnell 28 Oct '04

28 Oct '04

As you have just seen from the last posting, the DM news server is now able to post to the list. There is also a web-based form that allows you to submit (and preview) news items <http://www.digitalmedievalist.org/newitem.cfm> (if you have disabled popups in your browser, you may find the bottom "preview" button doesn't work; the one at the top of the form does). The server posts the headline to the list, and the RSS feed is available for syndication. Let me encourage you to use this service to announce -new software, -conference, book or journal calls for papers -upcoming symposia or lectures -new publications (CD-ROMs, Books, special issues of journals, etc.) In general, these announcements should be non-commercial in nature and be submitted by the author of the announcement. Please do not repost announcements unless you have permission from the original author, and do *not* submit copyrighted feeds from other sources (e.g. newspaper articles). Submissions are mailed to the DM editors who have final say concerning publication. -dan -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD Associate Professor of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Tel.

Autoinstall for fonts
by Daniel O'Donnell 23 Oct '04

23 Oct '04

Hello all, Does anybody know of an adaptable auto-install program that would install fonts when a CD is loaded? I'm looking for something that ideally would be open source, work equally well in most environments (e.g. Win, Mac, Linux). Its main function would be to install a font a project needs and, if possible, start a web-page up in the user's default browser. -dan -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD Associate Professor of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Tel.

Something for us? Not really a standards-based question, but I'm sure a fairly common problem. -dan -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD Associate Professor of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Tel.

Conference Announcement: Ancient Studies, New Technologies 3
by Michael L. Norton 12 Oct '04

12 Oct '04

Conference Announcement The third biennial conference on the topic of "Ancient Studies -- New Technology: The World Wide Web and Scholarly Research, Communication, and Publication in Ancient, Byzantine, and Medieval Studies" will be held December 3-5, 2004, at James Madison University, Harrisonburg, VA. As before, the papers will cover a wide variety of topics, including: * The Digital Museum; * The Digital Classroom; * The Digital Scholar * Theory, Methodology, and Ideology * Manuscripts, Collections, and Editions, and * Research Issues Further information about the conference, including the program and (soon) abstracts, can be found at: http://www.cisat.jmu.edu/asnt3 For further information, contact: Michael L. Norton Computer Science Dept. MSC 4103 James Madison University Harrisonburg, VA 22807 (540) 568-2777 nortonml(a)jmu.edu About the Conference Classical, Medieval, and Byzantine scholars have long relied on academic symposia and printed media to disseminate the fruits of their research. In the last two decades, the Internet and the World Wide Web have made new forms of publication possible. Electronic journals have been founded, such as the Bryn Mawr Classical Review and the Medieval Review. Academic websites, including De Imperatoribus Romanis, Perseus, Diotima, Electronic Antiquity, ORB, Lacus Curtius, the Stoa, and the Medieval Sourcebook, provide wide audiences with primary materials, scholarly studies, and access to other resources. Search engines like Index Antiquus have been developed to help navigate the rapidly multiplying opportunities of this new medium. In spite of these advances, the Internet is just beginning to fulfill its potential as a scholarly medium. This conference will address various ways in which the World Wide Web is being, and can be, developed, in the fields of Classical, Medieval, and Byzantine studies. Participants are encouraged to use their imaginations in considering different ways in which the WEB can help to promote ancient and medieval studies. Presentations are not only of a theoretical nature, but also of a practical, "how-to", nature.

New Server up and running
by Daniel O'Donnell 08 Oct '04

08 Oct '04

Hello all, Our Project RSS Server is now up and running properly. Please consider this as a tool for distributing project announcements, releases of new tools and utilities, or calls for papers. I hope to have a form up soon to allow you to submit material directly to the editors all ready for syndication. In the meantime, I'll handle formatting the announcements. Here's the minimum I would like from you if you have an announcement: 1) Title: A headline-type title for item (e.g. Project X Announces Y; Call for Papers: (session/topic X) at (conference Y)) 2) Description: I.e. the news item itself; you can add links and basic HTML structural coding (i.e. <p>, <ul>, etc.) if you wish. 3) Contact Person: Preferably with an email address; this should be you unless we agree otherwise (I don't want people being surprised to find they are the contact on something they knew nothing about) 4) Source of information (if not original to you), though most will be. I will assign a basic category to the news so we can search them later by class. -dan -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD Associate Professor of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Tel.

Character reference conversions: help?
by Daniel O'Donnell 07 Oct '04

07 Oct '04

Hello all, I need some advice on converting Unicode character references. Currently, am encoding character references in what I believe is UCS-4 format (Universal Character Set). This means they look like this in my source files: ႐ I want to import xhtml documents into Open Office, which seems to need UTF-8 encoding (I don't know what UTF stands for). Does anybody know of a filter that might do the conversions for me? Or have advice on using open office (Windows version) with UCS-4 encoding? -dan -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD Associate Professor of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Tel.

Oops: forgot the link
by Daniel O'Donnell 06 Oct '04

06 Oct '04

Forgot the link to the page I meant: <http://sql.uleth.ca/dmorgwiki/index.php/Convert_character_references>. BTW: if anybody is interested in keeping track of changes to the Wiki, it is possible to receive recent edits and editions as a news feed. You log in, go to recent changes, and add the RSS link to your favorite reader. The DM main site news feed isn't working today for some reason. I've asked the boffins. -dan -- Daniel Paul O'Donnell, PhD Associate Professor of English University of Lethbridge Lethbridge AB T1K 3M4 Tel. (403) 329-2377 Fax.
