[open-literature] Open Correspondence

[print.crimes]

Hi,

Apologies for the delay in this.

I gather that there are a few people who've joined the list since the 
Geek Night last week. There is some stuff to do on Open Correspondence 
in turning it from a prototype to some thing more production.

James, I know you've offered to help out on helping the getting the 
letters into TEI XML and rendered from there from the database. That 
would be a really big help and expose the data in more formats than just 
HTML or RDF. The code is available from the Mercurial repository at: 
http://knowledgeforge.net/project/letters/services/hg/ . The app uses 
Pylons and as yet I'm not sure how the templating handles XSLT.

I've just started work on updating the loading mechanism using a really 
basic XML format but should allow different texts to be uploaded more 
easily.

One of the things that Rufus and I have spoken about is tying it into 
Weaving History (microfacts.org) and using the API to bind it into the 
project.

If anybody has any other suggestions on things to do with the project, 
the data or things that might be interesting, please feel free to post 
it to the list.

All best,

Iain
