<VV> CORSA publications scanning project ~ Oh ... "24/7" ! I get it now ; >~}

[Charlie]

Yes, I knew that ;~}  I was kidding about what is usually seen as "24/7" ~
not as "7/24" ~ that's all folks ;>~}!

It's a good idea though, to get the other 30 years done for CorSA archives -
I wish I had the time !

However, since CorSA digitized in 2000, won't the years from 2000 through
2008 be pretty straight forward, or did we lose the "master" digital copies
of those issues?  Digital to HTLM is nearly isomorphic - "One to one" to
copy them over?

Earlier versions are harder to convert, but could be simple JPEG scans, or
even OCR'd to make text out of them (lot more work, but do-able?)

Lots of folks could then search issues for those valuable
repair/restore/insight articles, or visitors could go sightseeing!

Only on July 24th (7/24) ????

=======================================


No Chaz....  around the clock  DURING the convention!  People in shifts...


We have approx. 30 years  still to digitize!  The Scanning is the time
consuming part.


A PDF  of the 28  scans can be made in 3-5 minutes...  But to scan each page
takes 5 minutes..  setup /scanning / saving.
