[okfn-discuss] open shakespeare update: progress on v0.2

Sat Jul 15 15:10:00 UTC 2006

With a little bit of free time over the last couple of weeks I've
managed to do some more work on open shakespeare. The new version 
(v0.2dev) is up and running on the site:

   http://dev.okfn.org/
   http://dev.okfn.org/concordance/

NB: concordance only includes sonnets (this is not a necessary 
restriction but saved on concordance build time)

Many of the improvements in this iteration are internal and will make 
future work faster and easier. More details on the changes can be found 
below.

**Any and all feedback most welcome and if anyone wanted to start 
hacking away with me that would be fantastic** (there is now a trac 
installation to assist with this -- details below).

Regards,

Rufus
