Thank you for putting that site address up, it is interesting, but can anyone tell me who has typed these notices the spelling is bad, lots of typos, is it the type of programme or is it being done in a cheap Asian country with no knowledge of the English language andspelling Barbara ----- Original Message ----- From: "Barbara OConnor" <maurie777@ozemail.com.au> To: <aus-qld@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, July 24, 2009 7:34 PM Subject: Re: [AUS-QLD] CAHILL families > At http://ndpbeta.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/search?searchTerm=cahill+springsure > you > will find a number of references. > > Cheers > Barbara > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > AUS-QLD-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the > quotes in the subject and the body of the message -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- No virus found in this incoming message.

>From the WWW site: The text in the left panel has been electronically translated by a computer. Computers are not as good at reading as humans, and often make mistakes. You can help correct mistakes in articles by moving your cursor over a line and clicking "Help fix this text". By helping to fix this text, you are making it easier to search and a better resource for everyone! In my experience, the quality of the text translation varies considerably. Some are perfect, others gibberish, most are somewhere in between. What it is important to understand is that the search engine is using this translation to find your keywords, so if the text translation is gibberish, you will probably never find that article using the search engine. So if you see a poorly translated article, it is worth the effort to try to fix it so that the names (or main subject) are correctly transcribed at least once (so the search engine can find it), but it is less important to fix the whole transcription. However, I suffer from perfectionism and tend to find the whole article (i.e. I don't take my own advice). If you check on the main page of the site, you can see the "top correctors". One of them (username jhempenstall) has corrected a magnificent 227283 lines of text. Go jhempenstall!

That site is really a trap for the pedantic! I know that some users only correct the names. Lucky them! My obsessive-compulsive nature makes me correct the whole damn article! And to change the - to an - (Alt 0151, if you didn't already know). But the site is just so fascinating. I can lose myself in it for hours. Barbara

Hi Barbara If you go to the home page, it is a project of the National Library of Australia - The Australian Newspapers Beta service allows access to historic Australian newspapers digitised as part of the Australian Newspapers Digitisation Program. The Australian Newspapers Digitisation Program is a long term ongoing program. In the early stages of set-up it is being managed as a project, until all workflows and procedures are well established. The documents here outline the project information to date. The documents will be updated and added to as work progresses. If you follow the links, you will see that they are wanting us to log-in and proof read it for them. Remember, LOGIN first so that others can see your name and contact you if the family belongs to you. Tremendous service they offer, especially when they do not have the manpower to do all the proof reading.
