stéfan sinclair :: scribblings & musings

Along with almost 100 other colleagues, I participated in the Day of Digital Humanities, a community publication project to bring together digital humanists from around the world to document what they did today. I think this was a super initiative, in part because it offers such an unusual glimpse at what so many of our colleagues do (beyond what they might present in a more polished for in conference presentations and scholarly articles).

I spent a good part of my day working on adapting Voyeur for use with RSS feeds (like the ones being produced by the Day of Digital Humanities). Here are some glimpses (this highlights Voyeur’s ability to be embedded in remote sites, like this blog – this should be considered a modest preview release of Voyeur):

• a summary of all posts (currently submitted – I’ll update this tomorrow to catch the last ones):
  
• the top types (words) grouped in documents by author
  

Among the countless things to do on Voyeur, I need to better display results when there are hundreds of documents (like when each post is a separate document), but the full Voyeur interface is fairly usable for the second arrangement of documents (one document per author).
