Some may remember that several months ago Greg generously provided
access to a PG server to put up a demonstration of the WordPress-based
ebook workflow tools I'm using for my site (eb.tbicl.org) where I'm hosting
the Encyclopaedia Britannica projects DP has been producing for several
years.
A couple days ago I posted some similar thoughts as just a blog post,
and proposing to try to describe a highest-level conceptual workflow,
as a framework for locating the different parts of the process, and
discussing how they connect together (or not.) As much a personal
exercise as anything, but it's there to took at and make suggestions
as I go. It's not a short-term deal; I'll try to identify and even incorporate
parts of the process on the server as a way to discuss feasibility.
