Open Latin

We produce and promote Open Latin resources
We want:

To promote the use and benefits of Open Licensing.

To build educational resources that can be reused, today.

To use Open resources that can be used for many languages, as well as Latin.

To encourage modern authors to release Latin works to the public domain, either in or after their lifetimes.

To encourage current transcribers of public domain works

to use Open Licences for their modifications, where copyright applies;

to publish transcriptions on platforms such as Wikisource and Wikibooks so others can use them

To ensure that Latin benefits from open infrastructure, such as text to speech tools.

To help commercial tools using Open Content make better provision for Latin.

If you think this is a good idea, and want to help, please get in touch. We are at the start of this project. The first thing we need is likeminded people.
