Recent Changes
by Lars Aronsson 09 Jun '03

09 Jun '03

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... -- Lars Aronsson (lars(a)aronsson.se) Projekt Runeberg - ditt digitala bibliotek - http://runeberg.org/

ASCII-texter till Project Gutenberg
by Lars Aronsson 09 Jun '03

09 Jun '03

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! -- Lars Aronsson (lars(a)aronsson.se) Projekt Runeberg - ditt digitala bibliotek - http://runeberg.org/

More news in May
by Lars Aronsson 04 Jun '03

04 Jun '03

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/ -- Lars Aronsson (lars(a)aronsson.se) Project Runeberg - free Nordic literature - http://runeberg.org/

Proofreading in May
by Lars Aronsson 04 Jun '03

04 Jun '03

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: Edits Signature ----- --------- 867 georg_galster 841 farbror.mats 479 c.toorell 103 klash 56 bengt 31 lars <-- That's me 20 soluckmann 13 lars.rolander 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: Edits Work Title ----- --------- ------------------------ 921 wiedgust Gustav Wied, Mindeudgave 581 thamstoc Tham, Beskrifning öfver Stockholms Län 263 thamupps Tham, Beskrifning öfver Upsala län 209 fribyt Viktor Rydberg, Fribytaren på Östersjön 182 mhausen Baron Münchhausen 128 nfaa Nordisk familjebok, 1st edition, 1st volume 117 kxvtid Karl XV och hans tid 74 topesang Zacharias Topelius, Sånger 61 fbremer Fredrika Bremer, Sjelfbiografiska anteckningar 60 rydbsagn Viktor Rydberg, Sägner, berättelser och skizzer 59 sbh Hofberg, Svenskt biografiskt handlexikon 53 palmtrip August Palm, Ögonblicksbilder från en tripp... 53 erofring O W Ålund, Amerika, dess upptäckt, eröfring och... 53 doodle Emil Kleen, Ströftåg och irrfärder hos min... 48 djaknar Viktor Rydberg, De vandrande djäknarne 40 rydvaria Viktor Rydberg, Varia 37 cfd Carl Fredrik Dahlgren, Samlade skrifter 35 nfbe Nordisk familjebok, 2nd edition, 5th volume 34 ettarhos Margaret Howitt, Ett år hos Fredrika Bremer 32 thamoreb Tham, Beskrifning öfver Örebro län 32 romerske Viktor Rydberg, Romerske kejsare i marmor 31 svungdom Ellen Key, Tal till Sverges ungdom 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. -- Lars Aronsson (lars(a)aronsson.se) Project Runeberg - free Nordic literature - http://runeberg.org/
