Made more changes to the TOC-friendly titles (<title type="trunc">) on CC's instructions, and in the process noted a presentation problem: sorting was being done on the original title, not the TOC-friendly title, although the latter was being displayed, so the ordering was wrong. Fixing this isn't just a matter of switching the sort parameter because some items don't have a TOC-friendly title at all, so this is my current solution:

<xsl:sort select="concat(upper-case(./descendant::tei:title[@type='trunc']), upper-case(./descendant::tei:title[1]))" collation="http://saxon.sf.net/collation?class=TitleSortComparator"/>

which seems to work fine.

I integrated the new metadata sent by Claire into seven IMT files. Then I cropped and cleaned up the images for those files, and created Web View and thumbnail versions of them. They're now available in the server account, and Helena is working on them now. That should keep her going for a couple of weeks, I think.

Now that we know TKernelResampler does a much better job than the default resampler, look at the possibility that the actual editing view, when resizing/scaling the image, could also use that resampler; it might be a bit slower, but it would be a whole lot clearer. Adding this as a task for November.

Wrote a bit more of the XSLT-to-CSS code.

EG-W and the rest of us spent a while discussing the HW and SW list for the future labs, as well as room layouts, network issues, and so on.
