Alpheios works with any online (html, unicode) text and presumeably will also work on the Loeb texts once they are available. Work is in progress to make Alpheios available on Webkit browsers and mobile devices. The Perseids project is opening up the Perseus texts for user corrections, contributions and annotations, both in the classroom and out. Work submitted through Perseids will make its way back into the Perseus library (slowly now, more quickly later). The Open Philology Project is focused on increasing the breadth of coverage of free, online, openly accessible Greek and Latin texts. I'm too busy actually working on all of this to offer much more to the discussion right now :-) Suggestions for improvements, desired features, etc. are always welcome though.
