Update as of January 16, 204.
We have now completed work on Beyond Translation (a draft white paper on this work that has been submitted to the NEH Office of Digital Humanities is available here) and are focused on using the Beyond Translation work as part of an update to the Scaife Viewer. The resulting system will finally allow us to replace Perseus 4. We are calling the new version Perseus 6 (rather than 5) to reflect the amount of work embedded in the Scaife Viewer and now Beyond Translation (which we view collectively as Perseus 5).
Our main collaborator in this phase of development is James Tauber, who is now working with Signum University. We also are waiting on Tufts administrative paperwork to finalize a contract with another group to help us reorganize the Perseus home (and associated sub pages) and replace this WordPress-based blog with the Pubpub Publishing Platform (which we already began using in documenting Beyond Translation.
A more detailed outline of work to be done in the transition is being reviewed. We hope to publish that by the end of this week.
For now, the focus of work is to fold the services visible on Beyond Translation into the Scaife Viewer. The first results from that work will probably documentation, with changes to the Scaife Viewer following.
