Good piece. You say “Our online tools, Dromio (designed in part to facilitate transcriptions) and EMMOgen (designed to manage EMMO transcriptions) continue to develop”. Are they currently available online to users not on-site? If so, what are the URLs? If not, when?
Currently, the enhanced Dromio and EMMOgen are still under development. We expect to start testing these tools in November and December of this year and plan to release them for use on the EMMO site in the early summer of 2015. Our larger crowdsourcing platform for EMMO should also launch around that time, and this tool will be available to all who wish to contribute transcriptions, regardless of previous experience with paleography.

Good question. Dromio is not widely available at this point as the program is still under development though some individuals and institutions familiar with it are using/testing the beta version. Discussions are underway to clear the remaining hurdles for Dromio’s full release, but I don’t have a firm date yet as to when that will happen. You can be certain we will announce the news when it occurs!
As of December 8, 2015, however, online users can contribute transcriptions via the Shakespeare’s World website (developed by Zooniverse in partnership with EMMO). Much of our attention has been focused on this website in the past few months. I encourage you and others to give it a try: http://www.shakespearesworld.org/#/
