@ekansa @electricarchaeo Following up on suggestion by @paregorios , I've gently/collegially engaged with @humcommons@twitter. See twitter.com/sebhth/status/9993

@ekansa @electricarchaeo (+ merging in @paregorios) . From only practical perspective: Academia.edu makes it a bit easier to experiment on this front. As in... Current ePub is far from perfect. Maybe this is a dead end. So I hesitate to put something on Zenodo that I don't know should stay there. HCommons similar, if to lesser degree(?). It assigns DOIs. Calls itself a repository. Etc. Academia? I can just delete file and no harm. W/more info in future, I will make more purposeful decisions.

@paregorios No great stakes on that decision. Happy to have generated a bit of conversation. And a bit of looking around... In the faq, ePub not listed among supported formats for text: hcommons.org/core/faq/ . PDF "preferred", though with warning. But... I only saw this now. Again, happy for the prompt.

On the bigger Academia_edu question: I'm a little agnostic when it comes to repositories that enable access to work originally published elsewhere. Use them in parallel?

@electricarchaeo @ekansa also an option. Semi-random testing on Academia for now. Casting about to see how ePubs are treated.

A fern as its leaves go green.

@paregorios Maybe it's "Anything is better than PDF."

Quickly looking at "The Ultimate Guide to Data Classes in 3.7" realpython.com/python-data-cla

p.s. @ekansa has a paper in this. And probably others on Mastodon?

As an experiment, I've uploaded an of the journal volume "Current Practice in Linked Open Data for the Ancient World", ISAW Papers 7 (2014) to Academia_edu . See academia.edu/7598376/Current_P . Co-edited w/@paregorios@social.coop and @jmucci@twitter.com .

When the experiment is further along, I'll probably upload to Zenodo.org as well.

Passport pics do mark the passage of time.

I just want to note that there are people speaking a foreign language in the coffee shop I'm in and that I am not berating them. Not so hard really.

I am a rank amateur when it comes to gardening. But I am not displeased by this mysterious white flowering annual, which grew on its own from seed a few years ago, and by the chives, which I did plant and can keep alive.

@paregorios figured I'd exercise it a bit. Working well. And responded to my "unlisted" toot just now.
