Hope's Electronic Text Wish List

Hope's Electronic Text Wish List:

I want:

to see a reasonable facsimile of the original as the author created it
to see a reasonable facsimile of the published version, including all the original technologies applied to that version--things like line numbers and page numbers
to see a transcription of it in a manipulatable form, by which I mean something I can reformat, take apart, reassemble, read comfortably on screen, and otherwise muck about with
to toss it into my "text stewpot" with all the other texts and analyse it in a variety of ways (rather more than just plain "machine readable"), including ways of searching the contents of images ("Find all images from 1340-1350 that include musical instruments")
to hear and/or see a reading of the work by the author, especially if it is poetry, or, if the author is no longer living, to hear a historically informed rendition.
to follow up on a text in a variety of ways, by connecting with information about the author(s), the historical/cultural setting, the critical setting
and I want all of this from wherever I am: at the office, in the classroom, in the library, out of town, or curled up in my favorite rocking chair with a very large cup of tea nearby.
