User talk:Bohun

With the imminent demise of The National Archives website Your Archives to which I contributed, I have decided to (hopefully) transfer my transcription efforts to Wikisource instead. I have some transcripts of the Minutes of the Meetings of the War Cabinet of the British Government for the period December 1916, all transcribed from CAB 23/1 (TNA ref:) which covers the minutes of Meetings 1 to 82 of the War Cabinet. I assume for transcription purposes the Minutes of the 82 meetings should be treated as separate publications though there is also a Title page covering all 82 minutes plus an index at the end to all 82 meetings. How should I treat the Title page and index?

I've been experimenting with the formatting tools available (very nice) and the first page of the text of Meeting 1 would look something like this:

D. Clerks File.

SECRET.

I would probably add Wikilinks for all people with entries, plus geographical locations, military units and ships Bohun (talk) 22:37, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

I have had a quick shove around of [en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=Page%3AMinutes_of_War_Cabinet_Meeting_1.djvu%2F2&diff=4074337&oldid=4074294 page 2] of the text. As our purpose is to transclude pages and that we need to be aware of a wide variety of screen sizes we try to keep the text into the body of the Page: ns less hard formatted. Also using the header/footer fields to hold certain formatting when we want the page to look okay, however, being aware that we are going to need to transclude. No text layer in that DJVU :-( — billinghurst  sDrewth  00:02, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
