[humanities-dev] Book scanning

[Iain Emsley]

Sam,

Thanks for the invite to the Cultural Commons meeting. Thought provoking 
stuff indeed. I was thinking yesterday and over this morning about the 
Digitisation Project which the Open Rights Group have started. We've 
discussed our own book scanner and crowd sourcing on the list but not 
got too far with it as far as I can tell. (If I am wrong, please let me 
know - I know I've got some things running but not in releasable state.) 
Is it worth throwing any effort that we have towards 
http://opendigitisation.org/ and getting involved there rather than 
re-invent the wheel? Javier seems to have a really good idea about what 
is involved at various levels.

Just a thought.

Iain
