The place, "Pelasgians" (Should be "Land of the Pelasgians") currently has no co-ordinates. I looked on Wiki and it says that the Pelasgians were pre-hellenic peoples who lived in Greece. Is there any place that the Greeks wold have thought of as still Pelasgian and not Hellenic?

1. ES recorded Maeva and edited her video (can be viewed by CC on Dropbox; also has been saved on POMME)
2. All new transcripts have now been entered on Oxygen and uploaded on FrancoToile21
3. ES is now reviewing all transcripts on FrancoToile21 to correct all possible mistakes, and identify potential technical problems. So far 4 files have been reviewed (accf1, ancf1, ancf2, cltf1). The following problems have been identified and reported to SA:
a. the space situated between a closing [ref] tag and an opening [ref] tag is automatically deleted.
b. the [title] tag does not work when inserted in the title of the video. For example, in sngl 1 and sngl2, the title of the films (which has been entered between [title] tags in Oxygen) does not display in the title of the videos. Also, the [title] tag does not display in italics when inserted in the description of the video. For example, in sngl 1 and sngl2, the title of the films (which has been entered between [title] tags on Oxygen) does not display in italics.
c. when an annotation goes over the [div] box of full transcript, a scroll down bar appears and interferes with the displaying of the annotation. Basically, it keeps flickering and it is impossible to read the content of the annotation. See the last annotation in full transcript of file accf1 to see this problem in action.
4. ES had a conversation with CC today. The next steps are to (a) correct the newly added transcripts on FrancoToile21 so that they can go live; (b) add the newly recorded and edited videos; (c) create and enter the transcripts on Oxygen for these new videos; (d) identify with CC the type of subjects that would be the most needed to expand the video database.

Greg and I talked about objects and other non-human entities that father or bear offspring and had some Ideas. For rivers and other places, I think it's fine to doubly mark them up as characters and places, but when referring to the Blood of Sky's genitals and the teeth of the dragon that spawn the Sparti We may want a new classification for them. Along with those, we thought of important recurring objects like the Golden fleece and adamantine sickles (though not explicitly connected to one another, show up 4 or 5 times). Is it useful within the scope of this project to add such a category or categories?
What say you, Laurel?

Off sick Wed 27 and Thu 28 June.
I've been checking all the mark up in the Argonauts bit of Apollodorus and they sail past the "Celtic Nation" (1.9.24) and we don't have any coordinates for it. I realise it's probably not all that useful to stick a a single point in what the Greeks called "celtic" and call it done, but is there any area that would be best to specify in this case? It should be around the south of France or North-West Italy Because they also go by Liguria.
Any thoughts?

So in tackling the Calydonian Boar Hunt issue, Greg and I had to figure out how to include an event in a character's description. It's a bit complicated so: EXAMPLE!
<person xml:id="eurytion_1">
<persName>Eurytion</persName>
<note type="description">A participant in the <listEvent>
<event corresp="events.xml#event_101">
<desc>Calydonian Boar Hunt</desc>
</event>
</listEvent>, killed unintentionally by <persName corresp="#peleus"
>Peleus</persName>.</note>
<age n="9"/>
<note><listPerson>
<personGrp/>
<relation name="father" active="#antigone_2"/>
</listPerson></note>
<sex value="1">male</sex>
</person>
So within the description add <listEvent> then <event (and the xml id of the event you want)> then <desc>(put the name of event here) and close all the tags.

New release of Oxygen. Spent some time building a new deb and documenting differences/fixing problems with deb builder scripts.
