This is great Iain! Fantastic to see this progressing. Would you be prepared to write a short blog post to this effect for humanities.okfn.org - summarising what it is you're doing, and why it might be useful to people?
Also I am about to start looking into putting some of Johann Georg Hamann's correspondence online [1], with a view to doing some collaborative translation, and (much needed!) annotation. I wonder whether we could say something about the instances in which the Open Correspondence software might be able to yield interesting results? E.g. would it be interesting to see this for the correspondence I have? If so, what data do I need in what form? Will blog about the project (and the broader 'Open Philosophy' umbrella) soon...
