Thank you!  I do need to spread the word more than I have now. Rufus has
asked me to write a blogpost about the project which should go a long way.

Since this thread started, there has been a lot of activity on twitter
(from this group I think), and GITenberg has gotten a few new contributors
overnight.

I will return with a new thread when I have a plan for marked up text that
I would love to have some folks test, but I'm not there yet.

I would love to get feedback from the Open Humanities folks. ++
