-## Introduction
-
-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 otherpractices, 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][minimal-editions], 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][git-lit] model by Jonathan Reeve. We're coming for you, Kindle!
