Academic

Incorporated KH's three additional paragraphs from our previous revision document; highlighted all changes in red, to make for easier reading; removed a few inconsistencies in earlier revisions; and kept moving forward. I think I might just finish tomorrow, if I have no interruptions, but the problem is that what's mainly required is a lot of additional examples. Perhaps I'll stop revising at this point, and just start adding the examples in a new section.

Made a couple of minor changes; posted the presentation on the HCMC site.

I'm doing a first pass through the TEI Guidelines 3.11, using a table to organize original sections, modified sections, and notes, as part of the ad-hoc committee work. Today I added a bug report to the SourceForge system (asking for monogr and analytic to be added to the content model of bibl, as the guidelines suggest they should be available there), and got about 18 pages of the revision document done. Long, slow, painful task.

Spent the morning at Truth 2010, where I did one of eight micro-talks. The micro-talk session worked really well, I think, despite the fact that it was new to almost all of us (I've done it once before in Finland). I think it's a keeper, but I'm looking forward to finding out how the audience felt.

It's still too long, but I can rush through it...

Decision made.

Worked with SA to create a comparison matrix for the meeting this afternoon.

Obviously can't post any details...

Finished the first draft of my presentation for Dublin, and at the same time working on the issues it raises with the ad-hoc TEI committee. I've now got what I think is a coherent argument, and a good set of slides; there are tweaks I can do to make them more usable (such as putting tags in a different colour in the blocks of XML sample code), and I need to run through it with timing in mind to see if it's long enough. But the bones are there, and mostly fleshed out.

Spent an hour thinking about an updated set of examples for the Guidelines 3.11ff, which resulted in some discussion with the others on the committee, and a feature request for <ref> to be added to the content model of <analytic>, <monogr> and <series>.
