=== The Restoration Process === '''Q.''' Who is involved in this restoration? '''A.''' I am heading up the efforts, though it will involve the efforts of many explorers. The good people at Subterranean Restorations have agreed to apply their expertise. The Guild of Messengers has agreed to help distribute information and the D'ni Network has agreed to provide an Internet location to place restorations for public perusal. ---- '''Q.''' Is the DRC involved? Dr. Watson? The Guilds? '''A.''' I have been unable to secure assistance from the DRC at this time—their resources are focused on finding additional funding and maintaining the basic services in Cavern. Likewise, Dr. Watson is focusing on other projects that have more definitive sources, such as the [[D'ni Language Restoration Project]] he is working on with the [[D'ni Linguistics Fellowship]]. I do hope to talk with the Guilds to see if there are any resources they'd be interested in contributing to the project. ---- '''Q.''' Are you going to use any chemical processes to determine the authenticity of these documents? '''A.'''I am hoping to pursue many different avenues for testing these documents. But first, I would like to catalogue and record all of the information they contain before, say, subjecting parts of the original documents to chemical analysis ---- '''Q.'''What documents should I restore? '''A.'''I would suggest you focus on the restoration of documents on topics that interest you. If you are having difficulty with deciding where to focus, please contact me and we'll discuss it. ---- '''Q.''' How do I access the documents so I can begin restoring? '''A.''' If you are familiar with the restoration projects that the DRC has run in the past (the stain-glass projects), I am using an identical process to distribute the documents to researchers as they did. ---- '''Q.''' Do you want a 'snapshot' of the restored document itself, or just a translation of what it says? '''A.'''While snapshots of restored documents are welcome, they are not necessary at this stage of the restoration. Rather, I am most interested in cataloging and recording the information in the documents. English reproductions of the document or just the information therein are sufficient, much like the DRC notebooks you find in the Cavern. Restored images from documents can be submitted individually or in the context of the page on which they reside. ---- '''Q.''' I do not know the D'ni language. How can I assist in restoring these documents? '''A.''' There are a number of linguists in our community who might be willing to help. However, at this stage, you do not need to show the linguistic intricacies of the document in your submission, unless you are so inclined. An English version of the document will be sufficient at this point.
