What We’re Producing

• openly-licensed base texts following agreed-upon conventions
• tooling which produces a static website, EPUB, print-ready version, and (where appropriate) CTS TEI XML for contributing back to OGL / showing in Scaife
• corpus-based vocabulary lists for language learners (and producers of graded Greek reading material)
• linguistic annotation necessary to do things like track vocabulary, produce context-specific glosses, etc.

Texts

Ancient Texts

• GNT (in discussion about which version but, for now see https://github.com/morphgnt and https://github.com/jtauber/gnt-texts)
• LXX (https://github.com/sleeptillseven/LXX-Swete and https://github.com/nathans/lxx-swete)
• Apostolic Fathers — https://jtauber.github.io/apostolic-fathers/
• Epictetus’s Enchiridion — https://github.com/jtauber/enchiridion
• Plato Texts (starting with Crito) — https://github.com/jtauber/plato-texts
• Justin Martyr’s works — https://github.com/Mallioch/justin-martyr-texts
• … any post-beginner Greek prose you’re interested in seeing (especially if you’re willing to shepherd it!)

18th–20th Century Greek Readers

Born-Digital Readers

Non-Text Data

Some relevant data projects

• https://github.com/jtauber/core-gnt-vocab
• https://github.com/morphgnt/morphological-lexicon
• https://github.com/jtauber/greek-vocabulary-list

plus other stuff I still need to open up consolidating vocabulary lists like DCC and the “Major 80” and also lists of principal parts.

Tools

Some relevant code projects (plus a few more closed-source still to open up)

• https://github.com/jtauber/text-validator
• https://github.com/jtauber/greek-normalisation
• https://github.com/jtauber/greek-inflexion
• https://github.com/jtauber/vocabulary-tools
• https://github.com/jtauber/greek-lemma-mappings
• https://github.com/jtauber/greek-reader

Although note that the point of the greek-texts project is mostly producing texts and data. The tools are mostly a side-effect.
