I've used your work extensively in my own, and am going to try to lend a hand as a little "thank you". I'm reading Late Age right now for a chapter I'm working on that is informed by your Oprah work, so I'll take a stab at doing what I can when I can with Chapter 4. We're also working on a chapter that covers the NEA, so I will look at the Conclusions chapter, too, when I can. Hope that's ok. Congratulations and good luck on this adventure, Ted!

Basically I extracted all of the text from the PDF version of the book and copied/pasted each chapter into a separate page on the wiki. The goal of the project is to make the wiki pages non-identical to the PDF, mainly by removing footnotes and other unnecessary textual bits that get in the way of making a clean text-to-speech recording. There are <a href="http://www.thelateageofprint.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Late_Age_of_Print_Open_Source_Audiobook" rel="nofollow">guidelines</a> right on the wiki site that should answer any questions you may have. Hope that helps! It’s a little different than that. Basically I extracted all of the text from the PDF version of the book and copied/pasted each chapter into a separate page on the wiki.

Ted,

does the Wiki process consist of ‘editing’ the PDF version of the book, making each page look identical to the printed book version?

Needless to say I'm thrilled about the project, and excited to be seeing contributors editing the chapters just hours after the wiki site went live. Please help out any way you can. Even donating two spare minutes will help to make a difference. That's what I love about wikis! Thanks for the kind words, Conrad.

Bravo! You're among the very few scholars I know of courageous enough to present research in both hypertext & hypermedia forms. A culture and communication scholar who's actually going to practice what he preaches. I'll look at the 'audiobook' project and see if I can free up time to participate. How exciting! Congratulations, Ted!
