As a beginner in TypeWright, I have lots of questions! As a folklore scholar, I have questions about the conventions and accepted/best practices for correcting these printed-text items.
Let us use this as a forum to discuss things like "Is it more helpful for the '@' to replace each garbled letter, or to substitute for the entire word?" In fact, look for that question as the first thread!

Question #1 From Angela Vietto:
Will the crowd-sourced corrected texts make their way back to ECCO, or wherever they came from, or will they only be available here?

Question #2 from Angela Vietto:
When is the text "done"--are we having two or three people check a line before it's "100%"? I found a few lines that had been checked by someone but still needed obvious corrections.

Question # 4 from Angela Vietto:
If there is a space between a quotation mark or an exclamation point, are we honoring it? (I've done a few pages and went ahead and kept them.)

The above are questions from Angela Vietto posted as a comment on the 18thConnect news blog (see her original post at http://www.18thconnect.org/news/?p=417), many of which I have myself.
I will research the site-specific technical questions (#1 and #2) and post the answers when I get them. As for the editing questions, I look forward to the discussions!
