New section for additional events
In the future, DiXiT will endorse and collaborate on events that are not part of the core DiXiT programme. For this reason, we have created a new section on the website to provide information about these additional events. The first additions are an introductory training event about Digital Humanities in Verona, end of October (see separate news post), and a workshop in Sassari in December. More information on the latter event will follow.

Launch of RIDE – Review Journal for Digital Editions
The Institute for Documentology and Scholarly Editing (IDE), associated partner of the DiXiT network, is happy to announce the launch of a new review journal, RIDE. The IDE aims to make digital editions and resources more visible and to provide a forum in which expert peers can evaluate and discuss the efforts of digital editors in order to improve current practices and advance future developments. It will do so by asking its reviewers to pay attention not only to the traditional virtues and vices of any edition, but also to the evolving methodology and its technical implications.
You can access all reviews at: http://ride.i-d-e.de
