[edit] Article title

I must ask why this article is entitled "Quickscript" when the alphabet's name is clearly displayed in the original pamphlet to be spelt "Quikscript"? Perhaps this article should be re-spelt correctly, with a redirect from "Quickscript"? --84.12.152.78 14:06, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Seconded. The Jade Knight 07:56, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

I've cleaned this up. I'll need to change the title with a redirect as well but. martianlostinspace 15:17, 1 April 2006 (UTC) Name change, cleanup done, double redirects checked for!martianlostinspace 15:29, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] move to wikibooks?

There is 1-2 official publications (ie. books) of this. The official manual, I think, is about 28 pgs, which was Kingsley's own manual for it. It has been referred to here as an external link, but anyone think it would be worth copying the whole lot to Wikibooks?? (A word of warning though: the PDF document has all the text as graphics-- ie.. you cannot actually search for words, so if it's going to be moved, you'll need either very good OCR, or lots of time!!) If it's been published 40 years ago, now free online, hardly anyone's going to object to copywright, or anything I think. martianlostinspace 10:35, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

I'd love to see this at Wikibooks, and I think it would be a great addition. OCR wouldn't be that difficult, but I don't see any reason not just to upload the individual pages as images. freshofftheufo ΓΛĿЌ 06:49, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

An effort to type out the entire manual is currently underway at the Read Alphabet E-mail group. It stays true to the original with a few minor changes (such as using quickscript letters inline instead of referring to their names/numbers). I'm not sure about the status of this project. Look in the archive for a post made on 7 July 2006. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Read_Alphabet/ --145.116.0.51 20:06, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
