[open-literature] Quick Update

Sun Jul 18 19:24:52 UTC 2010

Hi, I can pitch my 'tent', and do some other editing business when I return 
from Paris - 9 August or so... Maybe someone else can go first...

>Good morning everyone,

>Just a quick email to let you know where we stand with the project.
>First, though, a brief apology: I'm currently working full-time at a
>residential summer school, and have not had the as much time to work
>on Open Shakespeare as I would have liked recently. Despite this, we
>have quite a bit of material to put up on the website / blog, which
>should be happening very soon. I think particularly of The Rape of
>Lucrece introduction, which I shall post this morning.
>
>Hazel has just finished editing Rachel's introduction to Venus and
>Adonis, which, once slightly improved, shall appear online soon.
>
> Elsewhere in Shakespeare's poems, Alan Tarcia has produced a new draft 
> of his introduction to The Phoenix and the Turtle 
> (https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AXG9TTdQd8dvZGdjMnR6cW1fMTJnNDhoemtndg&authkey=CLywn9IK&hl=en), 
> as well as a longer piece 
> (https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AXG9TTdQd8dvZGdjMnR6cW1fMTVjY3NoZ3RnNQ&authkey=CLPotIkI&hl=en) 
> for the blog.
>
>The latter of these needs someone to check the copy, and the former
>should only require a quick read through. Do have a look at the links,
>and then email the list if you fancy doing this bit of editing. If
>there are no takers within a week, I shall try and find the time to do
>it myself.
>
>Is anyone interested in writing for Word of the Day? It has gone a bit
>quite since my Wimbledon-themed entry, although I note that we have
>acquired several new suggestions for words. 'Tent' is particularly
>good if anyone fancies it.
>
>One final thing, which I should have made a bit clearer before: it is
>best that anyone wishing to contact me about Open Shakespeare write to
>this address and not my gmail one,  simply because, this way, one
>email account can serve as a repository for all OS communication and
>nothing else. Similarly, all google documents should have their
>sharing settings modified to the option "Anyone who has the link can
>edit" - although this sounds frightening, it is both secure (google
>backs up any changes to the file) and greatly facilitates the
>editorial process.
