====== Project HomeoPublish ======

Perhaps you did not know, but there is a whole mountain of valuable homeopathic literature buried in the libraries - old books, magazines, articles, essays, reviews etc. \\
The goal of the project is making these available for study, research or software development -- never to be lost again.

This project is part of [[en:about|Legatum Homeopathicum effort]]. Please also have a look at [[en:projects|other projects]] we are working on.

===== Preliminary criteria for inclusion =====

  * must be out of copyright (otherwise a written permission of the copyright holder is necessary)
  * author's or editor's understanding of homeopathy must be (vaguely) in line with Hahnemannian classical homeopathy
  * instructive, high educational value material is preferred

===== The process =====

The process of getting from an old dusty badly-printed book to a nice clean crispy electronic text runs as follows:

  - Scanning the source.
  - [[wp>Optical_character_recognition|OCR]] processing.
  - Basic proofreading.
  - Formatting.
  - Sentence disambiguation ((marking the beginning of each new sentence)).
  - Publishing in a suitable output format (online, SQL export, e-reader format such as .mobi)
  - Further error corrections, formatting improvements, interlinks etc. (optional)
  - Translation to other languages. (optional)
===== Current status =====

The articles of the American Homoeopathic Review magazines have reached step 6 of the process and are [[en:ahr:start|available online]].\\
We have __many__ highly eligible source ready for step 2.

===== Get involved =====

You can help by reading the [[en:resources|texts currently online]] and
  * correcting any typos you find
  * creating new links between relevant articles or parts of the same text (see Interlinks for detailed information)
  * improving formatting
  * [[en:translation|translating to other languages]]

Remember, this site runs on a Wikipedia-like engine (called [[doku>DokuWiki]]), so you can make any changes as easily as clicking the Edit button, making your modifications and saving it.\\
Please read the [[en:syntax|formatting syntax manual]] before plunging into making any changes and test your first steps on the [[playground:playground|playground]].

[[en:contribute|Financial donations]] are also welcome!

===== Get super involved =====

If you have plenty of time to waste and consider yourself a high priest of OCR processing, you could even help with the actual processing of the source materials!
If you dare, please [[en:apply|send us your application]].
Excellent attention to detail and saintly patience are a must.
