[tei-council] Fwd: TEI Publishing Proposal

[Gabriel Bodard]

I think this is an important question, and I'd be happy to participate 
in the investigation and discussion of options, if that would be helpful.

Best,

Gabby

>> Objet : TEI Publishing Proposal
>>
>> Dear Laurent,
>>
>> Last year at the TEI Board Meeting, the Board discussed the  
>> possibility of a publishing arm of the TEI. The impetus for this  
>> proposal came out of the desirability (or at lest the perceived  
>> desirability) of publishing, at least, a proceedings from the Annual  
>> TEI MM and Conference.
>>
>> In 2007 we were lucky in having L&LC agree to publish a special  
>> issue of proceedings from the MM. In 2008 we were not able to secure  
>> a publisher. For 2009 I have had a discussion with the editors of a  
>> DH journal who are at least in principle, interested in publishing a  
>> proceedings.
>>
>> It might, however, be more desirable for the proceedings to be  
>> published by one publisher or at least to be co-located online from  
>> one source (ideally the TEI site itself). While the TEI could simply  
>> choose to publish a proceedings on its site every year, this  
>> publishing model does not allow for contributors to get the  
>> necessary credit in terms of peer-reviewed publication.
>>
>> The Board has thus approved that committee be convened to look into  
>> this matter. It will report back to the Board in Autumn 2009 prior  
>> to the TEI Members Meeting and Conference. I am convening the  
>> Committee, and the Board has requested that two representatives each  
>> from the Council and SIG Chairs also be appointed.
>>
>> I wonder if you might take the request to the Council and ask if two  
>> members might be interested in helping us with this important work.
>>
>> All best
