Projekt Runeberg,
Jag införde nyss en förbättring i "Recent Changes"-listan. Man kan nu
beställa upp en historik för varje redigerad sida, där man kan se när
de olika förändringarna har gjorts och även jämföra vilka två
versioner som helst. I Recent Changes-listan når man denna funktion
genom den nya länken "(history)".
Länkar till (diff) och (history) finns dessutom i varje faksimilsida
(under faksimilbilden), åtminstone för Nordisk familjebok och de andra
mest uppdaterade verken.
Det finns fler förbättringar att göra. En av dem är möjligheten att
lägga in en redigeringskommentar. Endera dan...

Projekt Runeberg,
Vår amerikanska förebild Project Gutenberg (http://promo.net/pg/) är
på god väg mot sitt historiska målsättning 10.000 elektroniska texter!
De vill gärna ha med några svenska / nordiska texter från oss.
Problemet är att jag vet inte vad vi kan skicka. Kravet är nämligen
att formatet ska vara korrekturläst ASCII och upphovrättsfritt. Vi
gjorde ju en massa ASCII-texter före 1996, men mycket av detta
(t.ex. Selma Lagerlöf) är idag skyddat av upphovsrätt, och mycket av
det vi gjort senare är i faksimil med ofullständig korrekturläsning.
Jag tror att exempelvis Ellen Keys och Viktor Rydbergs texter kunde
vara intressanta att sprida på detta sätt, men är det någon av dem som
är fullständigt korrekturlästa? Ge mig några förslag!

Project Runeberg,
The last message was about proofreading. This one covers other news
from Project Runeberg during May 2003.
The most important news was that the facsimile scanning of "Nordisk
familjebok" was completed, the huge Swedish encyclopedia. The last
volume was scanned in facsimile on May 11 and OCRed the same day.
Actually, one volume still lacks OCR (supplement to the 1st edition)
and needs to be rescanned before OCR can be run. And the color plates
for some volumes remain to be scanned. But the most important 2nd
edition is fully OCRed and ready for interactive proofreading. For
years to come, this will be the flagship of our collection.
http://runeberg.org/nf/
Creating a complete index of articles in this encyclopedia is still a
very important project. We are receiving more contributions all the
time, but still need more indexers.
Ten years (1869-1885 with some gaps) of the monthly magazine "Svenska
Familj-Journalen" was scanned in facsimile a few years ago, but OCR
and indexing of articles were never completed, until now. At the same
time, the URL structure was redesigned (uh-oh, we promised never to do
this!) to make each year or volume a subdirectory of the work title.
This means an overview can be found on http://runeberg.org/famijour/
and the first year is found on http://runeberg.org/famijour/1869/
where the page header contains a pointer back to the title overview.
Each year contains some 2 megabytes of text -- ready for proofreading.
The page header was slightly redesigned to allow this, replacing the
dotted list to the right with a white-on-black horizontal navigation
bar that connects to our logotype. The nav bar also contains a search
box, that currently leads directly to Google. We hope to develop this
search facility in the future. Right now there is no link to our
author search tool, http://runeberg.org/SearchPage.pike from the works
that use the new page header design.
During the last week of May, a new work was scanned, a few years of
"Personhistorisk tidskrift", a Swedish journal for personal history
and genealogic research. This title is still being published by the
society for personal history (Personhistoriska samfundet) and we will
discuss with them how best to develop this project. You can take a
look already, http://runeberg.org/pht/

Project Runeberg,
During May 2003, Project Runeberg's online proofreading function
received 3585 contributions from 52 identified volunteers and an
unknown number of anonymous helpers. The following were the most
active contributors:

The daily activity can be followed on http://runeberg.org/rc.pike
and I intend to make a summary like this one after each month.
A total of 2556 pages were edited in May, some as many as 6 times.
These pages belonged to 102 different works. Here, "Nordisk
familjebok" counts as 58 different works, one for each volume. The
"work" column below is part of the URL, e.g.
http://runeberg.org/wiedgust/ Those of us who contribute actively
have come to learn these short codes. :-)
The most edited works during May were:

Most volumes of Nordisk familjebok has had 5 or 6 pages proofread, but
no systematic effort can be seen yet, except for volume 1.
Some more stats are also published on
http://runeberg.org/wiki/Korrekturl%e4sning
This winter we had problems that the scripts didn't always respond. I
think all these problems are gone, and we got a reliable and stable
system running. It can now be time to develop the function further.
Currently the script doesn't set any web browser cookie, which causes
the system to forget your e-mail address everytime you leave the
proofreading function. I think we should start to offer a
(cookie-based) user registration procedure similar to what other
websites use. Your ideas and input is welcome.
