After a fairly quiet period over the last 6 months development will be hotting up again thanks to discussion at Open Knowledge 2008 and the involvement of Iain Emsley (who will be focusing especially on a sister Milton project). To kick this off we’re planning a mini-hackathon:
- Wiki page: (sign up here) http://www.okfn.org/wiki/MiniEvents
- When: Saturday 26th of April. Start at 1400 and run until ~ 1900
- How long: Whatever time you can spare. Be it an hour or the whole afternoon.
- How to join in: log in to the irc channel, announce yourself, and then just crack on with one of the work items (see below)
- irc channel: #okfn on irc.oftc.net
- What: plan and work on Open Shakespeare / Milton
- trac: http://knowledgeforge.net/shakespeare/trac/roadmap
- Current tickets: http://knowledgeforge.net/shakespeare/trac/report/1
- For those not inclined to coding there’s plenty else to do. In particular we need to finish off proof editing Britannica entry, see http://okfn.org/wiki/tmp/BritannicaShakespeare
