@tillgrallert identifies minimal computing principles as a way to counter issues such as linguistic imperialism -- but as means to an end: minimal computing as _meaningful_ computing #teimec23

.@tillgrallert explains how there are 32 possible Unicode combinations for writing "Meccan" -- they all look the same to human eyes, but they don't coincide for computers! Searching becomes challenging or impossible. It often depends on the keyboard you have in front of you #teimec23

.@jamescummings has been teaching TEI starting with the "abstract model" and by directing students to https://roma.tei-c.org/ _first_. Someone from the audience highlights how this can help non-English speakers to learn about how the TEI works, before digging into the more intimidating English-only Guidelines chapters #teimec23

Gimena del Rio points out how the problem of multilingualism in global academia and pedagogy must be approached from both a global (shared practices) and a local perspective. There's no single solution #teimec23

The poster slam at #teimec23 is super fun this year -- Syd Bauman would be proud! There were songs, a comedy sketch, poetry, and impromptu group photos :)

Thanks to Kiran Karkera for introducing us to Hindustani music notation. It reminds the TEI/MEI community that music is perfectly representable by written text. It is just another argument for softening the borders between text and music representation in xml.

How to edit a temple (... or a bridge! @jamescummings), talk by Clifford Anderson et al. #teimec2023 #teimec23 #tei #iiif

Fascinated by Christian Lück's talk that there are still usecases like rtl in xml in which a hex editor is absolutely necessary to understand what is expressed by an encoding #teimec2023 #teimec23
