<p>For the record, according to http://www.tei-c.org/Drafts/tcm01.html , the 
minutes of the January12, 2002 Council meeting (section 3.3), we agreed at 
that meeting that transcription of primary sources was on our list of 
matters needing to be addressed by workgroups in the run-up to P5.

That reminds me to invite council members who are interested in any of the 
issues on the list in those minutes to consider submitting grant proposals 
to fund a TEI workgroup on that issue. Obviously, these proposals need to 
be coordinated with the rest of the Council, but externally funded 
workgroups are welcome, as is made clear at the beginning of 
http://www.tei-c.org/Drafts/edw54.html, which envisions "TEI-chartered work 
groups, whether internal (funded by the TEI), external (funded by some 
other body, but recognized by the TEI and given a TEI work group charter), 
or mixed (anything else or anything in between)."
