Posted on behalf of Dan O'Donnell ... --- Hello all, The Text Encoding Initiative (www.tei-c.org) is exploring the feasibility of a benefit of membership in the form of a negotiated vendor discount for producing machine-readable, xml-encoded text in small- to medium-scale digitization projects. Please take a few minutes to complete the survey at the link below in order to provide us with information that would help us negotiate with vendors on the basis of an accurate assessment of the nature and extent of demand for such a benefit. Link to survey: https://lrcreport.lis.uiuc.edu/TEITITE2008 This is the last call for comment participation. We will be processing the forms this August and September and present the results at our members meeting, 6-8 November in King's College London: http://www.cch.kcl.ac.uk/cocoon/tei2008/index.html.
