This chapter starts by asking why people are making electronic editions, and to some extent the discussion has focused on the challenges of electronic editing. The author argues that these very challenges contribute to the attraction of working in this medium. Fundamental aspects of literary editing are up for reconsideration: the scope of what can be undertaken, the extent and diversity of the audience, and the query potential that – through encoding – can be embedded in texts and enrich future interpretations. Electronic editing can be daunting – financially, technically, institutionally, and theoretically – but it is also a field of expansiveness and tremendous possibility. University presses and digital centers are other obvious places one might look for resources to support digital publication, and yet neither has shown itself to be fully equipped to meet current needs.
