Hi, I've not been following the debate diligently, but I thought that I'd
put in 2 cents. Obviously Hebrew encoding has had similar problems, but the
verification of the Hebrew Morphological text of the Bible happened under
somewhat different technological circumstances. Here is a link to some of
the problems that have come up with encoding in UTF along with some
suggested solutions.

Another thought that I have had is that one way of mobilizing volunteers is
by utilizing an already existing proofing format. I'm not sure if this is
possible yet, but perhaps this will provide structure to the many levels of
proofing that a task of this magnitude with require. This site also has the
infrastructure for discussions and for the project director to standardize
decisions, and to communicate with proofers.

I hope that this is helpful, and though I'm not among the techelite, I hope
that these previous projects could serve as useful examples.
Sincerely,
Julie :)
