-One of our most pressing and ever-evolving needs as scholars is to pass on our textual artifacts
-from one generation to another. The art of textual editing, among other practices, has helped many
-cultures to remember and interpret for centuries. Alas, that art is practiced and encouraged in its
-highest form by a dwindling number of scholars. In a digital environment the problem is compounded
-by the difficulties of the medium. While vast repositories and "e-publications" appear on the
-online scene yearly, very few manifest a textual scholar's disciplined attention to detail. In
-contrast, most textual scholars who have made the leap to a rigorous digital practice have focused
-on markup, relying on technical teams to deploy and maintain their work. This makes your average
-scholarly digital edition a very costly and therefore limited affair.

-As we see it, a minimal edition is one that aims to reduce the size and complexity of the back and
-front end while flattening the learning curves for the user and the producer. Out of the box, the Ed
-theme can help you build a simple reading edition, or a traditional scholarly edition with footnotes
-and a bibliography, without breaking the bank. In our estimate, these are the two most immediately
-useful type of editions for editors and readers. An edition produced with Ed consists of static
-pages whose rate of decay is substantially lower than database-driven systems. As an added bonus,
-these static pages require less bandwidth. Our hope is that our approach can help beginners and
-veterans deploy beautiful editions with less effort, and that it can help us teach a 'full stack'
-[in one academic semester](https://github.com/susannalles/MinimalEditions/blob/master/README.md),
-while allowing us to care for our projects at less cost, and perhaps, just perhaps, to generate
-high-quality editions on github.io in large quantities based on the
-[git-lit](http://jonreeve.com/2015/09/introducing-git-lit/) model by Jonathan Reeve. We're coming
-for you, Kindle!
