A milestone for Leningrad Codex TEI: 181 of 924 folios are complete—nearly 20% of the codex is encoded! 📜
Thank you for the great feedback and discussions so far!
Here’s an update on progress, new tools, and how you can get involved
The main bottleneck is AI inference. Contributors with a bit of technical experience and $5 can contribute greatly by helping spread cost around.
The contributing guide + an agent means you don't even have to deal with code!

`AGENTS.md` file should NOT describe the codebase.
It should tell the agent:
- how to respond
- business needs not defined in code
- maybe a little bit about code quality (or link to a separate coding standards doc)
An agent will figure out the codebase on it's own.
Thoughts?

My IIIF image viewer, Triiiceratops, through the alpha and release candidate phase and now has a version 1 release.
It has the smallest bundle size of any IIIF viewer I
know of while being the most fully featured viewer I know of

"The project seeks to document and present both the Hebrew Bible and accompanying Masorah in a critical manner, attending to the full range of features preserved in manuscript"
Also love the circules!

Cultural Heritage, WebMCP, and IIIF—the team at Northwestern really leads the way in AI and library science

A huge shoutout to @bdenckla whose index of L was essential to this work
Replying to @charles_loder
This project hopes to change that, by building on previous work and using AI tools to encode the text.
A goal of this project is to make it a community based work with the purpose of alleviating the cost burden on an individual (that's me!) and ensuring that it is not tied to…
A new project I'm excited to announce!

A digital version of L, encoding the columnar layout of the biblical text using TEI.
But I need contributors! (see below)
Though the text of the mss has received much attention…
Other goals are:
- Accessibility by means of a site and permissive licensing (MIT)
- Transparency through version control and links to prompts
- Reproducibility by a pipeline that could be used by other models
