while you're waiting for "monday morning quarterback"...

this page will remind you what my idea of
"continuous proofreading" would look like:
>   http://users.aol.com/bowerbird/proof_wiki.html

basically, it's the traditional "proofing" interface,
with the scan on one side, the text on the other.

if someone spots an error, they can report it
using the form right on the page, which adds
the report instantly to the bottom of the page.

that kind of transparency means that end-users
don't "wonder" if an error was already reported,
because they see each and every one reported...

(the disposition of each report will be posted too,
so people don't keep repeating the same report...)

the reports are also collected on a separate page,
sortable by report-date and page-in-the-book,
so administrators get a quick-and-easy overview...

of course, text has to be fairly clean before you can
put it into "continuous proofreading" like this, but
i anticipate i can take most o.c.r. to an accuracy of
1-error-per-10-pages, using my clean-up tools,
an acceptable rate for continuous proofreading...
