[tei-council] Digital Diplomatics conference

[Arianna Ciula]

Hi Dot,

I remember talking about the Manuscript SIG. Is this what you mean by 
Transcription SIG? Dan and Roberto Rosselli del Turco contacted me about 
the former and I gave a sort of availability in case nobody was prepared 
to chair it.

Should we discuss this out of list with Roberto as well and see what we 
could do and report back?
