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:
“By what a delicate and far-stretched contribution every island is made! What an enterprise of nature thus to lay the foundations of and to build up the future continent, of golden and silver sands and the ruins of forests, with ant-like industry.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
