[humanities-dev] FinalsClub annotations

(Apologies for cross-posting a reply, but I'm certain that those on
Open Humanities will want to know about this too.)

WONDERFUL!

I'm so pleased that this has become a reality, that the FinalsClub
annotations are available online again, and that Open Shakespeare has
been supercharged.

I'm really snowed in at the moment with work and moving out of France,
but shall definitely start writing articles / tweeting about this as
soon as I get a moment free.

Thanks so much for all the effort put in on this,

James
