I am forwarding to the list a message that came to me for posting on
B-Greek from Matthew Brook O'Donnell from The OpenText.org initiative. It
is clearly something that should be of interest to many of our
list-members. In accordance with the request at the end of the message,
inquiries about this project should be sent directly to Mr. O'Donnell
OFF-LIST at his own E-address:

>=====================
>
>To all B-Greek participants.
>
>May I invite you to visit http://www.opentext.org.
>
>The OpenText.org initiative aims to provide a network of resources for the
>linguistic analysis of Hellenistic Greek, making use of Internet
>technologies and particularly XML for text encoding and analysis.
>
>The principal partners in the project are Stanley E. Porter, Jeffrey T.
>Reed and Matthew Brook O'Donnell.
>
>We have adopted an 'open' approach to development modelled upon the 'open
>source' software movement. We are, therefore, seeking collaboration from
>interested scholars and Greek students in the development of discourse
>models and the annotation of New Testament and other Hellenistic texts with
>linguistic information.
>
>Demonstration materials and slides from our presentation at SBL2000 are
>available: demonstration (http://www.opentext.org/SBL/OpenText.org) and
>slides (http://www.opentext.org/SBL/2000-11-17).
>
>Three short articles by Professor Stanley E. Porter have recently been posted:
>
>* 'Can the Text of the Greek New Testament Really be Copyrighted?'
>(http://www.opentext.org/articles/copyright11012001.html)
>
>* 'Using Codex Sinaiticus as an Alternative to a Modern Eclectic Text'
>(http://www.opentext.org/articles/sinaiticus05012001.html)
>
>* 'Discourse Annotation of Philemon (Part 1): Introduction'
>(http://www.opentext.org/articles/philemon07012001.html)
>
>Each article is linked to a discussion topic in our forum
>(http://www.opentext.org/forum). Please register for the forum (using the
>link "Login or create an account" under the date in right hand top corner)
>and once register log in and post your responses.
>
>
>Please respond to me (m.odonnell at roehampton.ac.uk) OFF LIST, with questions
>and queries.
