 # Restore Poems Together
 
-Thousands of poems in the public domain live buried in school libraries, archaic websites, journals gone out of print. We don't have a free, unified access. An open library.
+Thousands of poems in the public domain live buried in school libraries, archaic websites, journals gone out of print. We don't have a free, unified access. A github library.
 
 Let's build one.
 
-## Overview
+## Rationale
 
-Three parts: format, metadata, scripts.
+See [Zenup](https://github.com/poetroid/zenup).
 
-1. To restore poems, we need a new format that can be read by humans and machines alike.
-2. To curate poems, we need a way to add metadata, inline, read by humans and machines.
-3. Scripts provide researchers a way to analyze, find, view, and print poems.
+## Status
 
-### Poem format
-
-[Plain Text](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plain_text) is still an excellent format supported by all editors by default: notepad, textedit, [iAWriter](http://www.iawriter.com/mac/), and others. Files must be saved in [UTF-8](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8) 'encoding'-- a setting available as options in the 'save as' file-dialog. Saving a file in UTF-8 is a necessary, important step to preserve foreign-language characters across machines.

-```
-Every time I say "joy," joyous thing,
-you will know that I am talking about you,
-for you are the joy of all joyous beauty
-and the joy of all joyous and beautiful pleasures,
-```
-
-### Metadata
-
-The current format for metdata is [YAML](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YAML), a humanly readable format. This format may change to [edn](https://github.com/edn-format/edn), and old poems will be upgraded, automatically.
-
-Metadata will be curated *inline*, above the poem, for storing metadata and tags, to inform humans and machines of semantic data for further analysis.

----
-title: Untitled
-type: Sonnet
-author: Guitton D'Arezzo
-curator: Ata Moharreri
-period: 1230-1294
-country: Italy
-tags:
-- joy
-- happiness
----
-```
-
-Note the `---` before and after the metadata.
-
-Filenames are saved as `last-name-title-first-five-words-of-poem.txt`
-
-Poems, metadata, and all the revisions are protected in (git)hub, for free, forever.

-This is the female form,
-A divine nimbus exhales from it from head to foot,
-It attracts with fierce undeniable attraction,
-I am drawn by its breath as if I were no more than a helpless vapor,
-all falls aside but myself and it,
-Books, art, religion, time, the visible and solid earth, and what
-was expected of heaven or fear'd of hell, are now consumed,
-Mad filaments, ungovernable shoots play out of it, the response likewise ungovernable,
-Hair, bosom, hips, bend of legs, negligent falling hands all diffused, mine too diffused,
-Ebb stung by the flow and flow stung by the ebb, love-flesh swelling and deliciously aching,
-Limitless limpid jets of love hot and enormous, quivering jelly of love, white-blow and delirious nice,
-Bridegroom night of love working surely and softly into the prostrate dawn,
-Undulating into the willing and yielding day,
-Lost in the cleave of the clasping and sweet-flesh'd day.
-
-This the nucleus—after the child is born of woman, man is born of woman,
-This the bath of birth, this the merge of small and large, and the outlet again.
-
-Be not ashamed women, your privilege encloses the rest, and is the exit of the rest,
-You are the gates of the body, and you are the gates of the soul.
-
-The female contains all qualities and tempers them,
-She is in her place and moves with perfect balance,
-She is all things duly veil'd, she is both passive and active,
-She is to conceive daughters as well as sons, and sons as well as daughters.
-
-As I see my soul reflected in Nature,
-As I see through a mist, One with inexpressible completeness, sanity, beauty,
-See the bent head and arms folded over the breast, the Female I see.
-

-
-### Scripts
-
-This library will include python scripts to help scholars, students, educators, and publishers research poetry, from the comfort of their pc, mac, or browser. 
-
-## Status and Roadmap
-
-Currently, ~2000 poems are hand-curated by editors at Facjure.
-
-Soon, scrappers will extract ~50000 poems.
-
-For a webapp to search and view existing poems, visit [poetroid](https://github.com/Facjure/poetroid), an open platform to discover poetry together.
+Poetroid LLC has restored 50,000 poems so far. The script were started in Python, and are now ad-hoc.
