Work re-typesetting this book is proceeding well, however, I only haveDave Webb's text as far as page 61.
After that, if no-one is prepared to help, then the rate of progress will be reduced to a crawl.
What I suggest is, if we can find about 10 stalwarts who could do about a page a week, then they might allocate themselves thus:
A could do pages 62, 72, 82 etc,
B could do 63, 73, 83, etc, and
J could do 71, 81, 91, etc
And together you could keep my nose to the grindstone, and we could have the book finished in a few weeks.
I could produce a template, and if you don't all want to use Gael BX unicode, then Lucida Grande in Small Caps is a good Roman font to use with the seanchló encoding.
The work in progress folder for MSF can be found at:

Page 51 completed.
10 pages to go before I have to start working from raw ocr files.
Then, without your help, this, which is for your benefit will slow to a crawl.
I have posted a template.dot file for MS Word, which, if you download the GaelBXunicode font:

you can ocr pages, and send as an email attachment to me:

ps
Dave Webb has uploaded his copy of a recording of all 32 chapters of Mo Sgeal Fein by Peadar Ua Laoghaire.
The recording was done by Maighread Bean Ui Lionaird in the Cork Gaeltacht

Ok, that comes to the end of Dave Webb's text.
If I am working on my own, there will be a massive change of speed.
One page per day will be good going, and that is if I have nothing else to do.
The ball is in your court.

Le meas,
Deghebh.
