Scandinavian-Canadian Studies

Slogged through the rest of the NVD article, which is now done. I normalized the handling of the Scandinavian names in the bibliography, which were in "first last" instead of "last, first" style, and ordered alphabetically on first name; I took a look through previous articles, and we've never done that before, despite having lots of references to Icelandic names, so I've taken the liberty of normalizing them and re-sorting them into place based on last name. If we have to reverse this, I can change the order, and then just change the @reg attribute to show "first last", and we'll get the right results, at the cost of consistency with previous issues.

Also tweaked a review with some changes from HT.

HT needed to see the bios from unpublished articles, so I've tweaked the system so that it can now display a page with only the bios from currently-in-proofing articles and reviews. It was a good idea.

Did some more paragraphs and biblio entries from the NVD article, and added a bio to one of the reviews.

Marked up one very dense para with lots of footnotes, and sent a query off to the author about a biblio reference.

Did another para. I'll keep doing a bit every day.

More minor changes done.

Marked up the latest review and posted it; did a couple more corrections in other reviews.

Started the latest submission: got the header, author info, abstract (English only), first para, and first biblio entry done, so it's a valid file. The biblio is huge, and is organized with Scandinavian authors as firstname+lastname rather than our standard lastname+comma+firstname. Reminder to myself to re-order the items when the biblio is marked up.

Lots of tweaks to book reviews came in; I did those. JT sent a new article, but I won't get to that for a bit because of the DHSI workshop.

HT came by with all the editorial revisions to the reviews, so I've worked through those and uploaded the results. We're still missing "long bios" for most of them. In the process, I made a decision to standardize on the "ISBN-13" format for ISBN numbers, abandoning the obsolete ISBN-10, in citations.
