John, this is very cool.
Does any of the items on my second list (areas the TEI would like to
expand) provide fodder for the desiderata list? or did you already
take from this what you could?
1. More extensive documentation, aimed at different audiences
(information for novices; information targeted at particular
disciplines)
2. More extensive conference presence (perhaps as an allied
organization at other people's conferences)
3. TEI consulting services, provided to members (preferably
subsidized or free) and to the general public (perhaps as a
revenue-generating services)
4. More extensive training services, again preferably subsidized or
free to members
5. Alliances with related encoding standards which serve particular
communities; the goal here would be to use existing work and
incorporate it into the TEI as a DTD subset rather than have TEI
reinvent it
6. Information-gathering about our community and the needs of TEI
users (and potential users)
