1. Home: Something Shakespeare themed! We want people to get into the spirit of the project here, but not to be intimidated by the difficult material. This is the general layout idea we have in mind. The home page should have a navigation banner on the top, and then the normal Zoo banner at the bottom. It should also allow people to select a genre to work on. If they click start transcribing they'll go directly to page 3 (as described below). If they select a genre they'll go to page 2.

2. Once they've clicked on a genre, they'll go to another page that lists all of the manuscripts within that genre, and gives a thumbnail for each and shows percentage complete so far. Once they select a manuscript they'll go to the transcription interface.

3. Transcribe: The transcription interface needs to allow people to focus on the page to be transcribed, while also making room for the keyboard (preferably on the right hand side). At the moment we have the image manipulation tools across the top in order to have an image carousel/viewer on the left, as in ANZACs and the new old weather Whaling logs.

4. Work Completed page: When someone has transcribed a page or part of a page, they will be able to click a 'pdf' button to see their work for printing or saving.

Other stuff:

5. About/Team page linking from the home page: This could look a lot like readymade. Doesn't have to be too fancy.

6. Tutorial will have little gifs and stills. Probably nothing to do here.

7. Interventions: Little pop up boxes that give people tips about how to read early handwriting. Maybe a bit Chimp&See tutorial-esque i.e. very cute? I think this could involve the head of Shakespeare (a popular icon). The Bard Says/ Pro tips from the Bard. Or something like that...
