Hey guys... OK, my quick email was way too misleading.
I am working on a web 2.0, buzzword compliant level 1 transcription utility page. Just wanted to post my immediate plan so we don't overlay any effort. On another note, it looks like this site: http://www.columbia.edu/cu/lweb/projects/digital/apis/ is gaining headway as a papyri registry, and their tools don't completely suck. Sorry for the confusion. I'll post my menial contribution as soon as I cross the line of having something actually being useful. -Troy. Art Bolstad wrote: > I like what I see, so far.
