Contribution and Communication
Voluntary contribution of material by experts is the basis of the Global Text Project. Collaboration of authors is facilitated by the use of the ECM O3spaces and the online, open source content management platform Drupal. Authors can also contribute text documents directly as OpenOffice or Microsoft Word to be integrated by Global Text helpers. The project employs XML technology to port content. A bibliography system and an illustration pipeline are still in development. Communication between organisers and contributors is aided by the use of Google Groups.

Famous quotes containing the word contribution:
“If melodrama is the quintessence of drama, farce is the quintessence of theatre. Melodrama is written. A moving image of the world is provided by a writer. Farce is acted. The writer’s contribution seems not only absorbed but translated.... One cannot imagine melodrama being improvised. The improvised drama was pre-eminently farce.”
—Eric Bentley (b. 1916)
