SCOOP is open to anyone working on the automatic transcription and analysis of historical sources, across disciplines, scripts, and languages. If you'd like to join the network, write to scoop@oeaw.ac.at, and put Anna Michalcová (a.michalcova@ujc.cas.cz) and Jan Odstrčilík (jan.odstrcilik@oeaw.ac.at) into CC. You will be included into the future communication and given access to the Discord server.
Discord is where much of SCOOP's exchange happens between meetings. It's a free chat platform where conversations are organised into channels: each working group has its own space to discuss its topics, share materials or simply to get to know each other. It's also the easiest place to ask a quick question, share a new tool, dataset, or paper, announce a call or event, or find a collaborator who has already struggled with the same script, language, or pipeline you're facing now.
If you're new to the network, the server is the best way to get a feel for what's going on in SCOOP and to introduce yourself and your project before meeting everyone in person.
