I thought all of this was worth sharing for two reasons. First, this blog post may serve as a piece of technical documentation, for us to track some of the changes in the website’s infrastructure and for others to potentially build upon our code to create a similar export feature for their own website. Second, it tells the story of a successful cooperation between several people who didn’t necessarily know each other very well, but were brought together by the common goal of making a valuable collection of texts more widely available and easily accessible—something that always warms my heart.
