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:
“All in all, the creative act is not performed by the artist alone; the spectator brings the work in contact with the external world by deciphering and interpreting its inner qualifications and thus adds his contribution to the creative act. This becomes even more obvious when posterity gives its final verdict and sometimes rehabilitates forgotten artists.”
—Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968)
