Hi @NewTasana

Thank you for your suggestions.

If you can find me the sources in formatted text (markdown, html, xml, etc.) - in other words, not PDFs or scanned images -, I can have a look :-)

NewTasana commented 3 months ago

I should be able to find Eusebius,

As for the others, if your willing to do thrm. I'll extract the text from PDFs, clean it and create it as an HTML markup.

But it will take time.

Thank you

Frankly, Eusebius does not fit in with my purpose for this collection; I don't think our publications use him as a source (or very infrequently).

The one I think I would be willing to include is "Faith on the March". I have seen it as PDF and scanned images, but the quality is poor. See if you can get me a chapter by chapter - markdown format would be best, though html will do.

I stand corrected. Just checked and there is a fair amount of mentions.

We can have a look at this one perhaps at a later time.

NewTasana commented 3 months ago

I have several versions of Faith.

Our Study Bible does now include many quotes from Eusebius. But I'll focus on Faith for the time.

Possible sources of Faith on the March

The problem with these is that even the text is like this:

2024-08-18_07-55-58

It's riddled with errors due to poor OCR quality, and the "paragraphs" are segmented into lines.

The PDF is even worse, because the original image quality was poor and the embedded text is useless.

Unless you have something better, these will be a headache. What one needs is AI to process the images directly - "read" the text :-)

NewTasana commented 3 months ago

I'll give it some study.

Hi Gregory,

I just spent half a day processing the text of Faith on the March. There are still many errors. I have broken it up into the 16 chapters. Do you think you could find 16 reliable volunteers to read through a chapter each, comparing with the scanned PDF version and correcting the errors? That would speed up the work and we could have a nice JW Library version.

What do you think?

NewTasana commented 2 months ago

I can read it. I've read the book about 15 times, and have the PDF. I also read at a fast pace. What I'll do is open both and do a visual quick read scan.

But if I get behind, I pioneer, and we just moved to where the need is greater so getting accustomed to the new congregation.

Question, I'm assuming you are a Brother?

As an irony, five years ago one of my suggestions to the JWL team was to add a personal section with Josephus, Faith, etc. Since 2007 when it started out as attempting to convert Watchtower Lib to Android then dropped and project switched to JWL, I have been privileged to have several suggestions added. On a recent visit to Watchtower Archives I learned internally Watchtower Lib and JWL have added features, then I found your github. So weird from my POV.

But in my part of the world I could not get that many readers without them understanding something like this. So I'll read and compare.
