Things I've cut from the main page, because they're distracting from the big picture:

This project requires a lot of work, and a lot of different tasks, requiring a large number of skill sets, including:

• Documentation Writing requires working with developers and users to write technical documentation.
• Scanning documents requires access to public domain books and a high speed scanner (usually in a library).
• Transcription requires the ability to type in Hebrew accurately with vowels.
• Proofreading/Reconciliation is the process of reconciling multiply-keyed transcriptions with a single source text to produce a more accurate final copy.
• Encoding is the process of marking up a text in JLPTEI XML.
• Translation involves translating portions of the texts into other languages (English will likely be the first one!)
• Translation encoding involves encoding translations in JLPTEI XML and linking them to their original texts.
• Instruction Writing involves writing (and sourcing) instructions in accordance with various customs.
• Commentary/Essay Writing involves writing original commentaries about prayer or sections of the siddur.
