Science Studies and the History of Science on Humanities Commons 4 years, 11 months agoOne of the recurring themes in the public perception of containment policies during the current COVID-19 pandemic are the supposedly uneven and everchanging measures taken up by international, national and local authorities.

Markus Putnings replied to the topic Open infrastructure for OA books in the discussion
Open Access Books Network on Humanities Commons 4 years, 11 months agoHi Tom.
In fact, something “rudimentarily similar” already exists in several places (e.g. besides Editoria, also in Heidelberg with heiMPT or of course Calibre or similar), but mostly rather specifically embedded in local or proprietary workflows or limited to them.

RONALD VINCE deposited The Aaronic Blessing: An Introductory Commentary on Numbers 6:22-27 in the group
Hebrew Bible / Old Testament on Humanities Commons 4 years, 11 months agoThe Priestly or Aaronic Blessing contained in Numbers 6:22-27 is treasured by both Jewish and Christian communities.

Open Access Books Network on Humanities Commons 4 years, 11 months agoHi Markus,
Sounds like you’re going to be working on some really interesting stuff here. Good luck! In what way do you see this as producing something different to existing tools that already seem to do a lot of these things (I’m thinking, platforms like Coko and Editoria)? A diverse choice of open source tools is useful but sometimes I’m a bit…[Read more]

Hebrew Bible / Old Testament on Humanities Commons 4 years, 11 months agoIn Exodus 2, Moses has two mothers; his Hebrew mother, who nurses him and the daughter of Pharaoh, who financially supports his Hebrew mother, adopts him, and names him.
