The main purpose of a TEI Workgroup is to formally recommend extensions or
modifications to the TEI Guidelines. Workgroups are not the only mechanism for
proposing extensions of modifications to the Guidelines. Council decided at its
meeting in April 2008 in Galway to rely on SIGs when possible in order to involve a
broader community of users. Furthermore, users of the TEI are always welcome to
submit feature requests and bug reports through SourceForge.
The following workgroups are currently under active under the aegis of the TEI
Council: This group (Kevin Hawkins, Perry Trolard, and Greg Suprock) was charged in
September 2010 with realigning the version of Tite used by Apex CoVantage
with the canonical version maintained in SourceForge and overseeing ongoing
evolution of Tite. Proposals are being made in SourceForge.This subgroup of the Council (Martin Holmes, Kevin Hawkins, and Laurent
Romary) was charged in February 2010 with writing a proposal to make it
clear how to use biblScope for various types of bibliographic citations. The
committee has expanded its mission to include a clarification on recommended
use of bibl, biblStruct, and biblFull and their child elements.
