I guess by now everyone has realized that we are really talking about
two different things: 1) putting the SpE on line and 2) developing an
on-going SpE project on line. The SpE is in fact on line already;
according to the UofT library catalogue, but use is restricted to UofT
registered card holders (faculty, students, staff, retirees, etc.) The
reader, for which you have to download a plug-in, is called "ebrary,"
which is also the name of the provider: http://www.ebrary.com/corp/
Institutions thus have to buy rights to post the link, sosome of you
might want to look into that. But the existence of the digital version
really means that our topic is the on-going project., which would
probably have to have a different name. As Martin Mueller says, wiki
framework is not useful for complicated text, but I doubt an SpE on-line
would be that complex. A committee of our Senior College (retirees) is
investigating the technology for making an "Encyclopedia of the
University of Toronto" using a wiki framework, but we may choose some
other method, it's early days. Germaine
