Although it would be nice if we could also cater for the academic world, that is by no means necessary. The academic world has access to our texts; if that for some reason is unsufficient, we need to determine whether that is through some fault of ours. I submit it isn't.
Nevertheless, if we could somehow also make the page scans accessible, that could be handy for several reasons. I believe Charles Franks was working on such a system?
The Christian Classics Etherial Library, which was doing distributed proofreading even before DP, has an interesting approach to this. Rather than wait until a project is "done" before posting it do their site, they post the scans and raw OCR the day they get it, and it's this live version that undergoes continuous proofreading and markup a page at a time. My memory says they do have a way of indicating to the end user how thoroughly "done" any particular text is, but cannot recall any details at this juncture. -- RS
