supervises collations, selects copy-texts, proofreads copy-text against
source documents (at holding archives), edits Peirce texts according
to guidelines deriving from standard textual theory, keeps the record
of editorial interventions, and writes the essay on editorial method

Joseph Kaposta, Editorial Associate
Kaposta is iin charge of the transcription operation. He works with
Lewis on the development of an SGML mark-up system for PEP that will
support a single hypertext editing process for both letterpress and
electronic publication. Kakposta teams with the textual editor for the
source archives proofreading (the second full proofreading). He maintains
each volume's electronic files from transcription to layout. Kaposta
then works with Lewis and De Waal to produce the electronic files of
the entire volume that are sent to the printer.
