Dear colleagues,
(On behalf of Roberto Rosselli Del Turco)
EVT 0.1.62 with experimental support for the embedded transcription method has just been released. A sample edition collecting miscellaneous examples (including those presented in the Guidelines) is available here:
http://vbd.humnet.unipi.it/evt-et/
and a blog post describing EVT changes is here:
http://visualizationtechnology.wordpress.com/2014/11/11/tei-embedded-transcription-support-in-evt/
while the EVT code with all of above is as usual available on Sourceforge:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/evt-project/
Feedback and suggestions on how to improve it (and of course other EVT features) would be much appreciated, as written in the blog post we weren’t sure of how to interpret some of the possible use cases. Seeing TEI XML from the point of view of a tool developer, for once, was an eye opening experience!
Last, but definitely not least, thanks to the EADH “small grants” program which made this expansion of EVT’s features possible.
Best wishes from your social media coordinator,
Paul O’Shea
Dear colleagues,
Karolina Badzmierowska, Roman Bleier and the VM team would be very grateful if you could complete a survey about The Versioning Machine and text
versioning.
The Versioning Machine (VM) is a framework and an interface for
displaying multiple versions of text encoded according to the Text
Encoding Initiative (TEI) Guidelines. Begun in 2000, there have been
several major updates since then.
Currently they are working on a new version (5.0) and they are looking to
the community for feedback on the current version and feature requests
for the redevelopment.
We invite you to complete a short survey to guide the redevelopment.
There are a maximum of 27 questions, but it should not take longer than
ten minutes.
Here is the link to the survey:

Many thanks on behalf of Karolina, Roman and the VM team.
Your social media coordinator,
Paul O’Shea

The Digital Latin Library, a joint project of the Society for Classical Studies, the Medieval Academy of America, and the Renaissance Society of America, with funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, announces a seminar on Latin textual criticism in the digital age. The seminar will take place on the campus of the University of Oklahoma, the DLL’s host institution, on June 25–26, 2015.
We welcome proposals for papers on all subjects related to the intersection of modern technology with traditional methods for editing Latin texts of all eras. Suggested topics:
Of particular interest are proposals that examine the scholarly element of preparing a digital edition.
The seminar will be limited to ten participants. Participants will receive a stipend, and all travel and related expenses will be paid by the DLL.
Please send proposals of no more than 650 words to Samuel J. Huskey at dll-seminar@ou.edu by December 1, 2014. Notification of proposal status will be sent in early January.
Colleagues — I am delighted to announce that Issue 7 of the Journal of the Text Encoding Initiative is now available from the the Journal’s site,
Entitled ‘Reaching Out, Opting In, this issue was based on an open call for papers. The four articles in this issue deal with several meta concerns of the community and make for provocative and thoughtful reading.
It also marks the last issue that I have overseen as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal. I thank all of you, as authors, reviewers, and guest editors who have worked with the Journal editors to make it such a success. I also thank my fellow editors who have been a pleasure to work with and who have worked tirelessly for the Journal.
John Walsh is taking over from me as Editor-in-Chief. I wish him the very best. I am sure under his leadership the Journal will go from success to success.
with all best wishes
Susan
