[please ignore this message if you are not involved in digital work with manuscripts]
Dear colleagues,
The Special Interest Group for Manuscript Encoding of the TEI wants to draw a picture of the current status, requisites and future demands related to the SIG's agenda.
For this purpose, we would like you to participate in the study "Trends, Concerns and Dreams among the Users of the TEI for Manuscript Material".
The first part of this study is an online survey. Its results will be presented at the TEI Members Meeting in Zadar, Croatia, November 2010 and discussed at the next SIG meeting in order to steer future developments of the work of the SIG.
To participate, you simply need to fill in this anonymous online survey, which should take you less than 10 minutes: http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/361896/TEI-MS
We really appreciate your help here, for we need the most feedback possible to draw a faithful picture of the community of users of the TEI for manuscript material (inside and beyond the TEI-MS SIG).
Thank you very much in advance for your participation, and please feel free to circulate this announcement among your colleagues.
Malte Rehbein and Marjorie Burghart
