All,

We didn't have a Skypecast last week--many people were away on vacation.
So let's have a Skypecast this week, same time, via this URL (note the
URL changes with each new Skypecast, and I should update the link on
textop.org whenever a new Skypecast is planned):

https://skypecasts.skype.com/skypecasts/skypecast/detailed.html?id_talk=
17837

The topic du jour will be: how to get started with the pilot project.
Want to start collating philosophy books?  Join me and learn how.  I
will answer questions and do a walk-through.  This will be helpful but
not required for participants.

By then, I will have finished a "how to collate a text" tutorial, which
I've started here:
http://www.textop.org/wiki/index.php?title=How_to_collate_a_text

Also, I understand that tomorrow an article in the (U.K.) Guardian about
my career will appear, and (I hope) prominently mention Textop.  It'll
be our first press coverage.  We might get some more interest and
opportunities out of it, but I can tell you from experience that the
*only* thing that gets a collaborative project like this off the ground
is, simply, a critical mass of motivated contributors--and then, hard
work.
