New subject: Cursus Liturgical Databade

18 Jul 2011


      Dear James et al.,
Many thanks for letting us know (and for taking part in creating Cursus).  
There's probably a lesson to be learnt regarding future projects, their  
storage and copyrights.
On a more practical note - is there a person / email address to whom I can  
write, asking for the database to be reinstated? Perhaps OTHER MEMBERS OF  
THE DM-L may want to send an email as well, demonstrating to the UEA the  
value of the database and its appeal to the wider academic public.
Cheers
Eyal

Hi Franz and Eyal (and DM-L),
...
I worked on the project and was responsible for most of its technical
...
development during its funded period and some of the intellectual
...
content (transcription, markup, etc.), and then Richard Lewis did
...
further development on this afterwards. It was running perfectly find
...
until a server replacement meant that the server it was on was
...
decommissioned. Since neither Richard nor I work for UEA any more
...
they were unwilling to let us have access to their servers to set it
...
up again. We have approached them several times to try and sort this
...
out, it really wouldn't be too difficult. All the data is safe and
...
backed up so the site could certainly be put up again. The problem
...
comes that since David's death all IPR residing in the project belongs
...
to the University of East Anglia, rather than myself or Richard. (This
...
is in spite of David's own desire for this material to be openly
...
available.) I spent 3 years of my life working on it and would love
...
it to be put back up. I'm occasionally contacted by people who wish
...
access to it, and I forward them on to UEA as reminders while pointing
...
them to the wayback machine version. Your message has spurred me to
...
try again.
...
Apologies,
...
-James

Dear List Members,
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
A few years back I much enjoyed using the Cursus database - a wonderful
...
...
source for the study of English liturgy created by the late David Chadd.
...
...
Does anyone know what happened to the site
(http://www.cursus.uea.ac.uk/)?
...
...
It appears to have disappeared, and the email address provided is also a
...
...
dead-end.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
With many thanks
