[tei-council] Fwd: Pizza chef not accepting modification files?

[John A. Walsh]

Sebastian,

I was thinking ant, which was one of the suggestions in sourceforge.

I believe the "command-line roma" could also be implemented as an ant  
script, since it's largely a bunch of XSLT.  But we could provide a  
package with a lib directory--with trang, and jing, and all the  
libraries we need, so people wouldn't have to fiddle about with that  
stuff.  I have the command-line Roma running on my OS X machine, but I  
recall it being a real pain in the ass to get working.  I understand  
resources are an issue.  So I think it's a good agenda item to discuss  
and see where these fall in the priority list.

John
