Hello,
The project management team for the Scalable Peirce Interpretation Network (SPIN) will be leading an online workshop at the Summer Institute in American Philosophy tomorrow at lunch time. We will give a short presentation about the aims of the project, explain how the FromThePage transcription platform works, and then each participant will take the transcription system for a test drive by transcribing a page of the manuscripts. A link to the transcription platform is provided below. The workshop will be in the format of a GoToMeeting, will start at noon, Pacific Time, on Wednesday (7/12), and will last about an hour. Let me know if you might like to join the online meeting remotely and then I will send the login information. Given the constraints of the system, we have space for 23 people to attend the meeting. Yours, Jeff Downard https://fromthepage.com/collection/show?collection_id=16<https://fromthepage.com/collection/show?collection_id=16> C. S.

The goal of the Scalable Peirce Interpretation Network (SPIN) is to develop a model environment for distributed collaboration that can support an international network of researchers, students, and citizen scholars in cooperative efforts to encode and interpret handwritten manuscripts, including those of high complexity. As our testbed, we plan to use the "Logic Notebook" that Charles Sanders Peirce, the founder of Pragmatism, kept as the seedbed and greenhouse for his ideas together with related sets of manuscripts in logic and semiotics. We are treating the pages in the MS 145 folder as a sandbox. Take the platform for a test run and play with the toolset. The enhanced set of LaTeX tools for encoding the algebraic formulas and graphical diagrams have been added, and a set of guidelines for making the encodings is ready to go.
