[okfn-discuss] Open Literature

Hi Bart and Anthony,

As a starting point I should say we get our main Shakespeare texts
from Project Gutenberg so our aim is precisely to be complementary to
things like that. What we want to do is bring together open material,
open tools and a community. A specific goal is to make
community-created critical editions using the annotation tools we've
developed (and which are openly available), to create introductions
for the texts, to produce nice printable editions and even a
"dead-tree" version :-)
