Another view is that we have a mess that defies improving texts; and it's reasonable that a less messy situation will necessarily involve providing images for people to legitimize doing anything with the texts. On Mon, Jan 30, 2012 at 8:54 PM, James Adcock <jimad@msn.com> wrote:

Seems like it's the least effort to put them where you want the and you know where they'll be.****

Again, the direction I hear you guys heading in is that you-all want to reinvent DP because you-all think you can improve-upon DP. Not saying you can, not saying you can’t. I’m just say that is not **what I heard** Greg talking about.****

A requirement to post images increases the submitters’ work load over what the PG/WW’ers are asking for all ready. If I wanted to make post-ready page images then I could just go through the ugly process of making page images ready for DP and then wash my hands of it. At the very least you ought to invent a pull-system from IA to automate this for when submitters ref IA in the first place. Not sure you aren’t making a mess.****
