Hi, Iain Emsley have been working away on Open Shakespeare/Milton related things over the last few months and we have now completed a fair number of major improvements with more to come in the near future. In particular we now have implemented:
* Major refactoring of internal code to be cleaner and simpler * A new cleaner and reorganized web interface * Search support via Xapian * Statistical analysis and graphing Even more importantly Iain's work on the Milton side of things has indicated the need for us to try to factor out a reusable core which can then be plugged together with particular sets of texts to form individual Open Shakespeare, Open Milton, Open etc instances (for anyone interested most of the discussion about this has been on okfn-help, sign up or browser at http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/okfn-help/ In the mean-time I plan to upgrade the current online Open Shakespeare service (which runs off the web interface part of the shakespeare package) which currently lives at: http://demo.openshakespeare.org/ At the same time I think it will make sense to relocate this at http://www.openshakespeare.org/ While moving the current blog living at that address to: http://blog.openshakespeare.org/ If anyone has any objections or can think of any good reasons not to do this let me know. If I don't hear anything I'll be doing the upgrade some time in the next couple of days.
