Advice and queries: TEI-L mailing list

The TEI boasts a friendly and highly skilled worldwide user community, whose members are quite willing to share their expertise. The best way to tap into this community is to join the TEI-L discussion list. Everyone is welcome to subscribe to the list, either via a webform or by sending an email to TEI-L-subscribe-request@lists.psu.edu. Archived messages from the list can be browsed or searched online through the LISTSERV archive and cover just about every text encoding topic you can imagine. All queries or comments about the TEI Guidelines or text encoding issues in general should be sent to the TEI-L list. You can unsubscribe from the list by sending an email to mailto:TEI-L-unsubscribe-request@lists.psu.edu There is also a list for the francophone community.

For queries or comments about non-technical matters, please see the list of addresses on our contacts page.

Social Media

The TEI maintains a presence on Twitter and Facebook. These may be used to advertise events, etc., but the mailing list remains the better source of discussion and advice.

Feature requests and bug reports

On the TEI's GitHub Site the TEI keeps track of Bug Reports and Feature Requests. As long as you are logged into your GitHub account you may report a bug or add a feature request, or comment on existing tickets.

Grant development

The TEI also assists projects in the development of grant proposals that include TEI membership. We can review the technical portion of the proposal to help ensure that it is plausible and realistic, and that it describes the use of TEI in a persuasive manner. We can also help projects think through the strategic and practical issues involved in designing a TEI project, so that costs and staffing can be accurately assessed and planned. In order to allow sufficient time for review and feedback, please share your proposal with us at least six weeks before the submission deadline. For more information about this program, please contact the TEI at info@tei-c.org.
