One step forward, two steps back

Well, it's not really that bad. But during a recent trip to the library, I found and checked out a book specifically about "software project management". If only I'd read it two or so years ago! Well, it was published in 2006, so that wouldn't have been easy.

Longer hiatus; restructuring & modularization
2007-08-08 17:19 - ProofReading Markup Language
Well, this was a rather longer hiatus this time. Non-Internet life dragged me away for a time. But in the meantime, I've still been tweaking the basics of PRML in my mind, if not on my computer.

Brief hiatus; Gtk-Perl is back

I've been having a diversion while converting a friend's antique into my server, and with that hardware, it's being an interesting (and lengthy) job. But once it's done, I'll be much freer to use my workstation for testing & development, since it won't have to stay in Linux all the time lest I miss some e-mail or web serving. Once that's done, I'll be focusing on the DTDs etc., and just live with the fact that Perameles is terribly borked for a while.

PRML is aimed at creating a ProofReading Markup Language, since I haven't found anything quite suited to the purpose out there on the 'Net, using XML DTDs and/or schema, and/or XHTML 1.1 modules. This Markup Language would strive to accurately convey any possible imperfections in a printed work (possibly expanded later to include online HTML and such, if there's a demand for it) in a way that makes it clear to printsetters exactly what needs to be fixed, and why. Building on this, a Perl/GTK reference implementation will be programmed, with a PHP/SQL interface to follow.
