Re: A question about encoding and text fixing platforms for undergraduate curators

When it comes to undergraduates on grant-funded summer research projects and the cost/benefit analysis of  how to manage work, I am very sensitive to giving appropriate weight to  the long-term benefit of students.

    I, for one, think you would be doing the undergraduates you hire a
    grave disservice not to spend the 1/2 day it will take to teach them
    XML, oXygen, and enough TEI to do the work you need.[1] For some it
    will be a skill they just use to do the job you've hired them for
    better. For some it will prove mildly useful at cocktail parties and
    perhaps when dealing with tech support. For a few, though, it will be
    a life-long skill that will prove invaluable over and over again.
