DH: checking on email about renaming GL: things are back on track

DH: personography back into repo; Ruby found some human errors and fixed them DH: What can Ruby do next? GL: Maybe assisting Lauryn in bringing in missing images? DH: Yes. Will have her focus on that. DH: UNSPECIFIED on placeographies? Maybe have Ruby attend after HOCR.

DH: to email Martin on placeography

DH: can't get repo working on her computer. Hesitant to have her work with the repo.

GL: Keeping new TEI recruits after work study is done? DH: Will keep it in mind. If additional money comes in, easy decision, but no guarantee. Where is productivity at? GL: How many pages to come in? DH: about 9000 pages in total? GL: about 3500 pages in TEI

DH: Beth will help GL: Yet to contact her, but training will start hopefully next week.

Hi Gord - reading this re: productivity I thought I should mention that the current debate day I'm working on suffers from a really brutal scan and not much proofing by the transcriber so some if it has been a slog. Can show you on Thurs if interested.

cheers, dave

  • have her use dropbox, then Lauryn or Dan push to repo.

Yes @davelang68 , please show this to @lyallg asap. We have another team member who may be able to help out with the transcription. Also, please let me know how things end up—I may want to speak with the reviewer to ensure proper quality control for the records you receive.

I had a look. The debate day was processed by AN, likely over 6 months ago, so it is an old transcription job done by a volunteer. I imagine your concern @DanielHeidt is whether or not you are getting clean work from the professional transcribing team? If you can have LM process one of the newest completed debate days from Nova Scotia, we can work on that next and see if there is a significant improvement.
