Public Release 1 (beta) - Read Me
NOTE. We have now released Version 1.0 of the TAPoR Portal. This page is now out of date. See Information for New Users.Announcing the release 1b of the TAPoR Portal. This version has all the planned functionality (and then some) including:

- Select tools that others have registered and try them on your texts.
- Manage news channels (RSS feeds) from the digital humanities community.
- A Tutorial and Tour
More Information; Table of Contents
Some known problems
- The tools are Web Services that come from other servers. We cannot vouch for all of them. Sometimes they go down or are changed. Note that the portal is just a broker for the tools.
- Tools that operate on HTML will have trouble with bad HTML or with large files. Try the tools first with small web pages under 100K.
- When adding texts or tools to your Library you may have to Reload the page to see them in the list.
Features to try, ways to help us
- Get an account and experiment.
- Try defining texts in the myTexts area that are public so that you can share texts with others.
- Try the different tools on documents you know to see if they are working the way you expect.
- Fill out the Survey once you have tried the portal and send it to us.
