** General Comments on the Project & Sign Up Thread **

Sounds perfect eruhen. Recovering from. Multiple fractures so j got some time! Just how do u picture chapters? Without apparatus? Just straight text? That was always my vison of final version. On phone now so limited but will have laptop back in a few days. Beautiful to see the enthusiaam! Yes Lot has been done since this was launched in 2oo1 or 2.

[Eruhen]

I'm just planning on straight text for now, but I'll confess that my vision since the beginning has honestly been a four-volume set bound in red leather with illuminated frontispieces for each chapter, illuminated capitals, and decorative borders. I'm talking full-on Medieval codex, here.

For now, though, I'm just aiming on a working, readable copy without paragraph headings and editors' marks.

[Findegil]

Eruhen, I can in one point only echo Lindil: It is nice to see your enthusiaam.

I'm going to dig down through the threads and try and work things into a readable text.

You my do so, if you like but it is unnecessary. The porject has not worked without producing what you are seaching for. It is a long time since the last time I made a plain text document out of my working copy, but that will be much easier and faster then going through all the threads and work out our last version.

I'll post PDFs of chapters as I finish them.

If that wouldn't violate the copy right law, we would have done so years ago. So please don't do this.
If you really want to wake this project out of its very long time of deep silence, please read to the follwoing thread (at least the last pages). That is were open points of discussions are left over from the last phase of activity.

Anyhow, as I told already in post #100, I have drafts ready for the chapters of the Silmarillion up to chapter 11. If you would like to start the discussion with one of these, please speak up and we will see if any body comes up with a good reason to hold back.

Respectfuly

It's wonderful to see all of you here!

I must apologize for this last long period of inactivity; real life circumstances have been preventing me from being able to find the time for this project. But for a while now I have been meaning to try and make the time for it.

I'll take a look at those threads to try to remind myself of the outstanding points.

I think that I also still have some notes kicking around on my hard drive on issues I had found in the other finished chapters, which I think it would be good to look at before moving on.

[Eruhen]

I'll take a look at the links, too. Also, what happened to the private forum with the drafts and other such sausage-making? Did it get lost in the shuffle?

[lindil]

I think we should move any discussion of texts to private forum. I hear u findegil...not looking rk cause trouble!

[Eruhen]

I would love to move to the private forum, lindil; however, I can't seem to find it. If someone would like to send me a link, I would be eternally grateful.
