A couple of other Big-TEI-Collections-With-Minimal-Encoding
would be Early Canadiana Online <http://www.canadiana.org>
and the Legacy Tobacco Documents Library 
<http://legacy.library.ucsf.edu/>. The latter project has
only metadata searchable at the moment, but they're OCRing 
the 20 million documents, God help them, and will make the 
unedited OCR searchable using Michigan's DLXS software.

I don't know anyone at either project, and we may not want 
them represented on the committee, but the committee will 
want to contact them.
