[MEI-L] next steps

[Raffaele Viglianti]

Hello all,

I would like to thank you all for Dugstuhl. It's been fun and I think it can
really be the starting point for some good work.

I agree with Johannes regarding how to proceed. I think we agreed on ODD,
and I think that the current version of MEI should get ODDified soon. During
the ODDification, problems and questions will probably arise, and I'm glad
we set up these tools to communicate easily.

I would like to add a comment about TEI. As we all now, MEI has many
elements in common with TEI, and even though I agree that MEI needs to be a
standalone encoding (and community), I think that we should at least put an
explicit reference to TEI's elements in the ODDs. I'm still not sure how we
should deal with this, I only know that, in general, duplications are not
good.
Regarding the ODDification, I'll try to do my best, but my knowledge of ODD
is limited. I hope that we can count on Lou and Sebastian as well (Gabriel
doesn't know much more than me).

On another note, I have encoded the first section of "Syrinx". It's only 8
bars, but some problems arose already (meanwhile I keep working on the
remaining section and I'll soon update my data).
I created a page on the wiki with my comments.
http://muwimedial.de/mei/index.php/ExSyrinx
It would be great if you could comment on my comments and give me some
suggestions/feedback.
The file is on svn under trunk/Raffaele and there is an image of the score
as well.

Let's keep up the good work!
Hope to hear from you soon,

Raffaele
