• Report on FedScan QA Meeting (MK, ET, GD)
  SCP, ET, GK, MRK went to FedScan on May 1 to review the QA process and to compare to the SIL process. One difference is the use by IA of the new FlipBook for QA; SIL also recomeded that scrolling is more problematic than page by page; IA also agreed to do more direct contact of SIL staff with items that would be rejected; there was no FIRM conclusion on the "what is a too big book". IA staff has an open invitation to come to SIL to see our process.
• Report on Portal Editing Call (SP, GD, ET, BL)
  SCP led a portal editing call with BHL dev staff (Mike Lichtenberg) and others. Included were Grace and Erin. It is now clear to the group that editiing is possible; SIL and Harvard/MCZ will do a joint editing project to do further test; Mike L. will do a project to see if there are computer solution to identifying titles that have diacritics problems
