pics
It is only fitting that this image be included in the blog space. It's an ancient (in web terms) image composite of a portion of one of Bauer's 17th century images for Ovid's Metamorphoses and an 1857 fashion image from Godey's Lady's book of a girl and woman wearing a "Eugenie Caraco." The wonders of simple PhotoShop. It's also a reminder to me that my ancient original web site is long overdue for a facelift.

TEI: Open Office

Using TEI with Open Office, including footnotes info

Ah yes, if you want that, or even more sophisticated formatting, you are
indeed going to have to generate OO xml from your TEI input, but by far the
neatest way to do it is through XSLT, which, once debugged, can then be
embedded into an OO filter and so will appear on the Open and Save-As menus
and can be used by others who have no interest in or knowledge of scripting
languages. [i.e. what Sebastian has already done, at least in highly useful
outline, though unfortunately the changes in XML model mean it has to be
reworked somewhat]. For someone who has a reasonable grasp of XSLT
techniques, this is not very hard to do (though getting it initially set up
involves some tedium).
Supposing you have this in your TEI
[...]
This is text. This
word has a footnote attached. By contrast, this
is the endnote
[...]
In essence, what your transform has to produce in OO xml (plus a lot of
wrapping gunk, which can, however, be templated in) is this (assuming you
want auto-numbering for both sets of note refs and a distinct styles for
body, foot and end notes)
===========

attached.
===========
Pretty straightforward really.
If anyone is interested, the corresponding "meat" (plus even more gunk) in a
Word 2003 xml version of the same would be
===========
this
the footnote
footnote attached. By contrast, this
the endnote.
endnote attached.
===========
This may look messier, but in fact Word 2003 xml has a number of significant
advantages over OO xml in terms of conversion to and from TEI, none of which
is really visible in this snippet. Apart from one brief hint. Notice that
elements MS placed in the wx-prefixed namespace, which are NOT needed or
used by Word or indeed any other MS application, but are there to ease the
task of interoperating with other XML applications which may encode things
that Word itself either doesn't need or represents in a text-stream oriented
way. In particular, Word 2003 will use these
easily converted to and from nested TEI divs (numbered or not) without any
of the hoop-jumping required to attempt that task when using OO xml.

CFP: wikis book
The time has come for an edited collection of essays on wikis
entitled The Wild, Wild Wiki: Unsettling the Frontiers of
Cyberspace.
Wikis are without a doubt one of the most interesting and
radical of the new writing media available to the wired
society, yet they also one of the most misunderstood. Many of
us know of them only by encounters with "that wacky website
anybody in the world can edit," the (in)famous Wikipedia, that
is showing up more and more in our students' works cited
lists. For others, wikis represent the incarnation of the
openness, decentralization, and collaboration dreamt of by the
Internet's founders. For those of us in the computers and
writing community, wikis represent a fertile field for
rhetorical analysis and one of the richest opportunities for
teaching writing in the classroom.
The time has come for an edited collection of essays on wikis
entitled The Wild, Wild Wiki: Unsettling the Frontiers of
Cyberspace. Editors Matt Barton and Robert Cummings would like
to invite you to submit your thoughts for a volume on the
theory, politics, future, and application of wikis for
teachers of college composition (and beyond). These essays
will be organized into the following three categories:
* Theory and Politics: 12-25 page essays that discuss wiki
issues from theoretical perspectives. Such essays might
examine how knowledge gets constructed and legitimated in
wikis, or how wiki users negotiate authorship. Do wikis
liberate or erase identities? What roles, if any, should
copyright laws play in the regulation of wiki discourse? Why
is that the most famous wiki happens to be encyclopedic; could
other types of discourse flourish in wikis? How do wikis
remediate other media, old or new? What can you do with a wiki
that you can't do with any other media? Should we think of
wikis as related to the open source phenomenon through
Commons-Based? Peer Production and, if so, does this predict
how and where wikis will expand? Do wikis fundamentally alter
the practice of revision? The concept of collaboration?
* Applications: 8-12 page essays that examine how teachers can
use wikis in the classroom. This includes assignments
involving Wikipedia, but also creating new wikis specifically
for classroom use. The essays here will look at practical
applications as well as limitations and technological matters
(How hard is it to install a wiki? What kind of support is
needed? What are the differences among the many wiki servers
now available? Can a classroom wiki achieve critical mass or
low cost content integration? What are the ethical
implications of asking students to write in a wiki where
writers, other than their teachers, make editorial decisions
about their text? Do contributions by student writers, as part
of a class assignment, differ substantially from those offered
freely by self-selecting wiki contributors?)
* Lore: 6-12 page narratives that describe teachers'
experience using (or reacting) to wikis in their classrooms.
How have you been using wikis in your writing or teaching?
What went right and what went wrong? What would you do
differently next time? How have you assessed writing in wikis?
We also plan to "eat our dogfood" during this project--in
other words, we will be using wikis extensively to plan,
draft, review, and revise the essays in our collection. All
authors will share in the reviewing and editing process. We
also hope to secure a publisher who will allow us to publish
under a Creative Commons license rather than traditional,
full-blown copyright. Our goal is to produce a volume of
accessible and engaging works that will help secure wikis a
prominent place in composition.
Tentative Timeline:
Abstracts: October 10, 2005
Abstract acceptances: October 17, 2005
Submissions Deadline: May 1, 2006

published essays. Send your enquiries, queries, or abstracts

Academic Commons
Academic Commons
investigating and defining the role that technology can play in liberal arts
education. Sponsored by the Center of Inquiry in the Liberal Arts at Wabash
College
reviews, interviews, showcases of innovative uses of technology, and
vignettes that critically examine technology uses in the classroom. Academic
Commons aims to share knowledge, develop collaborations, and evaluate and
disseminate digital tools and innovative practices for teaching and learning
with technology. We want this site to advance opportunities for
collaborative design, open development, and rigorous peer critique of such
resources.
Academic Commons also provides a forum for academic technology projects and
groups (the Developer's Kit) and a link to a new learning object referatory
(LoLa). Our library archives all materials we have published and also
provides links to allied organizations, mailing lists, blogs, and journals
through a Professional Development Center.
Highlights of our First Edition
The first edition of Academic Commons features essays by Richard Lanham
("Copyright 101"), Michael Joyce ("Interspace: Our Commonly Valued
Unknowing"), Patricia O'Neill and Janet Simons ("Using Technology in
Learning to Speak the Language of Film"), and Michelle Glaros ("The Dangers
of Just-In-Time Education"), and an interview with Gerald Graff. The issue
also includes two teaching and learning "vignettes," a good handful of
reviews (websites, hardware, and software) and showcases (exemplary academic
web projects), and links to a variety of interesting teaching, learning, and
technology projects. We've already formed a number of groups onsite and look
forward to more participation. The complete Table of Contents is at
http://academiccommons.org/august2005/.
