Cascading Set of Features for the SOL collaborative system

Guests may

• see a bar graph showing the overall status of the whole project, letter by letter (i.e. the system calculates and shows percentages for silver=unassigned, yellow=assigned, blue=translated but unvetted, red=draft status, orange=low status, green=high status); to the left of that bar graph is a column of hyperlinked Greek letters; click on them to see in tabular form the status details for every entry in the SOL; that display lets one drill down to database lookups of the actual entries, though the feature is initially turned off by default so as to yield smaller file sizes
• search the database in various ways (including with regular expressions and Boolean operators) and view entries
• see the original source text in various display flavors of Greek (including transliterated, SGreek, SMK GreekKeys Athenian, Unicode, and TLG "beta code")
• click on hotlinked keywords in search results to find and browse related entries
• click on "next" or "previous" buttons in search results to see nearby entries
• follow any links to external resources (e.g. Perseus, BMCR, or Gnomon)
• send an e-mail directly to the translator or editor of a particular entry with comments or questions
• read logs of recent activity
• update their user profiles (select Greek font display and preferred Perseus mirror for links)
• see a roster of all active participants

Translators may also

• request, translate, and modify specific entries
• receive lexical and morphological assistance via links to the on-line Liddell Scott Jones Lexicon of Classical Greek from the Perseus Project
• implement links from their own work to external internet resources

Editors may also

• modify entries
• assign status to entries (draft, low, high)
• comment on the nature of the modifications they have made

Managing Editors may also

• generate e-mail to specific categories of participants
• approve pending registrations
• assign and reassign and unassign entries
• review the progress made by particular contributors
• see the status of a particular entry
• assume another participant's identity if necessary, e.g. to reset a lost password
