This document discusses different types of scholarly editions, including maximal editions aimed at expert readers, minimal editions for common readers, and social editions that privilege interpretative changes from many readers through collaborative editing. It also addresses the need to document textual variations, challenges of sustainability for digital editions, and using social media to create a continuously changing knowledge space around a text.

15. 'if you are going to mess around with
something powerful that you do not fully
understand even something benign
you had better do it with your eyes open.'
(Goldfarb, 1990, p. xiii)
19. '[i]n spite of the fact that in the 1980s editorial circles
witnessed a paradigm shift in which the concept of a
definitive end product was widely replaced by the
concept of process in which multiple texts represent the
work, nevertheless, the physical limitations of print
editions and the linear reading habits of most readers
have continued to force the predominance of clear-
reading texts as a primary feature of new scholarly
editions.'
(Shillingsburg, 1996, p. 77)
20. 'The most important point arising from recent
theoretical discussions and computer capabilities
may be the inescapable recognition by the general
reader that any reading text is merely a
representative of a work, not the work itself; for
there are other representations of it crowding in
demanding attention as well.'
(Shillingsburg, 1996, p. 77-78).
21. 'present to a broad audience as sound a text
(usually modernized and at a minimum price) as is
consistent with information that may be procurable
through normal scholarly channels and thus
without more special research than is economically
feasible.
(Bowers, 1969, p. 26)
22. the sweet promise of the social edition
the sour reality of sustainability
the bitter destiny of the record of variants
salty need for referentiality
Time to dig up your chocolates
23. a proposal to remodel the scholarly edition with the
use of social media and extend digital editorial
traditions well into the age of Web 2.0.
a proposal for modeling professional reading
a timely alternative to the current types of digital
editions
built on the achievements of New Historicism and The
sociology of text
a continuously changing knowledge space that
generates meaning through collaboration.
24. 'with the tools of social media at its centre, the social
edition is process-driven, privileging interpretative
changes based on the input of many readers; text is
fluid, agency is collective, and many readers/editors,
rather than single editor, shape what is important and,
thus, broaden the editorial lens as well as the breadth,
depth, and scope of any edition produced in this way.'
(Siemens et al., forthcoming)
