I hope to post more on it when I have had time to think it through a bit more. I suspect that if the infrastructure were done well that the idea could support many applications. One of the more interesting problems is how to make it easy for those who submit their records for transcription to get the actual final work back into their local repository such that it is associated properly with the right original record and accessible via their local access interface. I wish I could read your blog as easily as you appear to read mine. I have been enjoying the international reach of my blog but I wish I could read a dozen languages (or that <a href="http://babelfish.yahoo.com/" rel="nofollow">Babblefish</a> or <a href="http://www.google.com/language_tools?hl=en" rel="nofollow">Google Translate</a> did a better job). Ah ha - there is a neat idea! RSS feeds that are automatically translated. When I add your blog to <a href="http://www.bloglines.com/" rel="nofollow">Bloglines</a>, one of the configuration options should be what language to translate from and to. Does this already exist?

I think it could be very useful for European Archive's Early Modern manuscript collections, as for the students of Palaeography, who could work, as you said, with primary sources. Wikipaleography? Wikitranscription? Any case, a very good idea for building the Finding Aids 2.0 Very nice post (as the entire blog is, of course)!

Double-keying makes a lot of sense. It could easily be automated such that exact matches between the two copies could be auto-published without further human intervention. The <a href="http://www.pgdp.net/c/" rel="nofollow">Distributed Proofreaders site</a> looks very interesting - and I love their tag line "Preserving History One Page at a Time". Thanks!
