OMG, this is way too much fun...

Thanks to T (on Facebook) for pointing out the new Zooniverse site, Shakespeare's World. In a nutshell, this is similar to the old Distributed Proofreaders project, but specifically focused on manuscripts from Shakespeare's time

Neat! Also incredibly frustrating because I can't make it work.

What problem are you hitting?

[mermaidlady]

The most basic of problems -- if I click "transcribe text", and then the page, I can't get the promised blue dots to appear and therefore, no text window. I've tried both Firefox & Chrome.

Odd -- it's pretty much working for me. (The first dot shows up as red until I click the second one, but it's functioning.) But I guess it's new-platform-itis, and still a bit buggy...
