Let's Discuss Project Assignments

[RJP43]

The final projects for this class will incorporate a variety of tasks. All of the tasks utilize skills we built together during the month of February. While certain groups will have slightly more technical aspects of their final project than other groups, ALL GROUPS will be responsible for communicating via our class Issues Board - following out best practices - as well as uploading to & downloading from this GitHub repository. Below I have defined the other types of tasks different groups will be completing.

Task Types

• Document Transcription: As a minimal-tech task, those involved in document transcription will reference facsimile images of certain texts in order to transcribe the text seen in the image into a plain text (.txt) file or Google Doc with detailed comments describing document idiosyncrasies.
• Transcription Encoding: If assigned this task, teammates will work with the project's encoding guidelines and the TEI Header template to construct an XML surrogate of the available transcription/translation of a given text. Encoders will be associating the project's new schema at the start of encoding; therefore, the final XML (.xml) file will need to be well-formed and valid.
• XML Corrections: This task involves associating the new project schema to existing XML files and making corrections to the XML in order to make the XML valid and well-formed. Those working on this task will also be responsible for combining TEI Headers with the TEI Text from the existing XML. Some XML correctors will be working closely with @ProfPLC to make content corrections to mis-transcribed/mistranslated text.
• HTML proofing: Proofers will be using Hypothes.is to indicate content and processing mistakes seen once the various XML texts are transformed into HTML. Proofers will report errors using the Hypothes.is annotation tool and the class Issues Board, but will need to review input XML to determine if errors in HTML presentation are results of encoding mistakes or missing style transformations.
• Collation: This task involves going through the narrative carefully, marking in A1 (the American first edition) where changes exist in the other editions and the typescript. This task entails working closely with @ProfPLC in order to make decisions on what to mark as a variant and why.
  Collation group 1 - (1 people) - paragraph by paragraph collation with @ProfPLC and @Tatjanawj
  Collation group 2 - (2 people) - scene/motif collation

Second option would be Lili Elbe to Poul Knudsen and T. C. Thomsen to Hoyer, HTML proofing

I prefer to work in smaller groups due to my commute. I live in Bolingbrook so it's not easy for me commute to work closely with multiple group members of various schedules. I have no preference on who I work with but I have enjoyed working with @Katiegriggs24

My preferences in order:

1. Lili Elbe to Poul Knudsen and T. C. Thomsen to Hoyer a. HTML proofing b. XML corrections
2. Lili Elbe to Maria Garland a. HTML proofing b. XML corrections

We have decided project teams and will be assigning each task via assigned project team issues by class on Tuesday, 3/12! It has been a pleasure teaching all of you. I am very much looking forward to working together on individual tasks.
