NIST recuration -- incredible progress! looking for someone to steer the second phase

[Robert Giessmann]

Dear all,

Thank you for your incredible commitment to the NIST TECRDB re-curation project! Just yesterday you topped our previous most-pages-per-day record, with an incredible 25 pages in a single day. I'm stunned! We hit a third of the total pages already!

And I'm a bit worried -- I used to look at every single entry, to see whether we have a consistent curation style, and to clear up any potential hurdles you encountered. It's getting harder and harder for me to keep up with you! (Which is a good thing, I suppose ;)

Today I'm approaching you with a question (you might call it begging...): does any one of you see yourself in a position (in respect to available time and motivation) to steer the second phase of the curation? As you might have noted, there is a tab called "table metadata", and a draft curation manual (not finished yet). After we have finished all the numbers (which seems to be happening very soon!), it would be so cool to collect all the comments from the PDF -- these have not been digitalized before by no-one, so that's a real unique selling point of our project here.

I cc'ed the whole openTECR list in here; maybe someone else would like to step in?

I see that I'm getting short in time to prepare and test the workflow for this second phase, and would be immensely grateful if one of you could start this already. Thanks so much in advance!

Best,

   Robert
