HI Eric,

Thanks for that great work Eric. I've added a note about it and an
explanation of the whole FSI conversion effort to the German instruction
Wikibook (https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Talk:German), where I have been
trying to get some of the editors interested in Wikiotics. That might be
just the right crowd for helping to modernize and expand the FSI materials.

Eric,

I had a quick look at the docbook file you sent me the other day (the
FSI/DLI one). I will rewrite the converter you suggested using either
lxml or xslt, because that one is a bit hard to extend (notably for
tables).
After looking at your files (and I guess the other ones you just
uploaded are of the same style), I should be able to get them into
wikitext format onto the site fairly quickly. (stage 1)
But also, I'd love to take the table part (which correspond to the
audio tapes), and make it into a flashcard deck/podcast lesson. It's a
lot more structured than wikitext, meaning we can imagine crazy stuff
in the future, and we would get nice downloadable podcasts from that.
The main challenge would be to match the text and the audio.
Then we can add links from the text pages (which would include
grammar, explanations etc...) so that the whole things reads like a
book, with attached audio. (stage 2)

I think stage 1 shouldn't take me much more than a few hours work to
be able to push your docs to the site in text form. Stage 2, not sure,
it mostly depends on how well we could match audio and text. Do you
know how good the audio is, by the way? Would it better to record
fresh new audio for it?

what do you think?

In any case, thanks a lot for working on those!

Hi there,

I was gonna suggest fsi-language-courses.org but I realised that's
where you link to. I don't have much to suggest. We may manage to get
the FSI courses onto wikiotics and convert them to epub one day, but
that's not in our priorities yet.

www.yojik.eu might have that one in the future, but not sure.

good luck!

The FSI courses are all audio, correct? Is this a request for an epub
file in which the FSI audio has been embedded and serves as the primary
means of viewing the lesson? (If so, what advantage does this give over
standard podcast formats?)

No, FSI courses are text+audio.
So far we've only imported audio parts, but they actually relate to a
series of books with grammar explanations, exercises and more. Eric is
doing a lot of work on the text part (see his site: www.yojik.eu) to
turn old scanned pdf files into usable xml/docbook (and other formats,
including epub).
I'm working on a docbook->wiki converter which should make it possible
to import those xml books as a series of linked wikipages, building
upon Eric's work.
