Re: [xmca] PsyAnima Complete Vygotsky (What shall we do now?)

[Anton Yasnitsky <the_yasya@yahoo.com>]

More or less correct, Mike.


In terms of support, here is the list of procedures, actions, and operations that participation in the project involves:


1) acquiring (i.e. copying, borrowing, scanning, purchasing) the texts

2) scanning

3) text recognition: automated, manual and combination of both

4) creating doc/pdf files:  formatting , typesetting, etc.

5) uploading and distributing the product online FREE OF CHARGE FOR THE READERs


That's basically it. Another set of activities is related to research (historical, textological, theoretical, etc.) work,

then, importantly, translating this research into roughly half dozen languages of international Vygotskian science, 

thus, importantly, creating a layer of expert commentaries to the texts (same issues as in research), --


but all this is some sort of super-structure. The basis is the texts and, having the texts, we can research or 

translate, or even print them out :). But the core needs to be created first.


So, back to your question. We need any support that will help us to move further--people, partners, sponsors--
whatever facilitates  the development  and improves the quality of the project. We have had rumours about texts 
instead of the texts for tooooo long. Enough: the time for action has come.

It appears that you are lacking any support from the united states, England, or Australia, Anton. Is that correct? 

If so, what sort of participation, support, and attention are you seeking?

The text of a Luria text on monism and psychoanalysis that appears in the 
Kornilov volume is available from a translation in Soviet Psychology, I believe. It probably is not a translation up to your standards, but some might find it useful. 

Good luck with your ambitious project.
