The web design's relatively minimalistic and clean. Saw the ruby annotation thing a bit ago in the HTML spec. Seems like there's lots of applications for them that don't get used.

Anybody happen to know of a Latin OCR software that could grab the text parts from Latin documents? Have an interest in translating the Etymologiae of bishop Isidore of Seville, since its one of the main reference texts for education in the middle ages. Just 280 pages of Latin's a bit much for hand copying to text files.
