Paribus begins developing Virtual Editor
Wiki!
Paribus has begun creating a 'Wiki' to allow individuals and organizations to create their own grammar and style checking rules!
Paribus staff currently manage Virtual Editor's database of rules. Paribus recognizes that in addition to this process, Virtual Editor would greatly benefit if others could add their grammar and style rules as well.
Both individuals and organizations will be able to use the Wiki system. The Wiki system will allow users to browse existing rules, create and edit their own rules, and comment on rules entered by others. For organizations, users can implement rules for specific groups within the organization or for the entire organization.
The wiki will check the new rules against a large corpus of texts to show (in real time) how Virtual Editor will flag items in an actual Virtual Editor report. This quality assurance mechanism is one of the keys to Virtual Editor's power!
Rule designers can choose to keep rules private or make them available to the public. User-designed rules will still undergo quality checks by Paribus before they are made available to the public.
If you would like to be added to the list to try a beta version of Virtual Editor Wiki please

Paribus creates the
Virtual Editor Desktop application.
Working with a professor from a leading online university, Paribus is developing a Windows desktop application for submitting multiple documents at once to Virtual Editor. Paribus developed this application to meet the needs of educators who use Virtual Editor to review papers for entire classes of students.
We are pleased that Virtual Editor is recognized as a valuable tool in helping educators review their students' papers!

Paribus begins developing a Virtual Editor
Facebook Application.
Paribus has begun creating a Facebook Application so users can submit documents to Virtual Editor directly from their Facebook page! The application is still under construction. When it becomes available Facebook users will be able to share the Virtual Editor application among their friends.
Virtual Editor visits
colleges in the Northeast.
Beginning mid-September Paribus will begin a postering campaign to many colleges in the Northeast.
Virtual Editor is the perfect tool for college students to check their papers, essays, theses or any type of writing assignment.
Paribus moves its office to
New York.
In mid-August Paribus Publishing moved to its new location in Irvington, New York.
We now have a large open office, a great new base of operations!
Virtual Editor was at
Book Expo America (BEA) at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York City.
We had a great time visiting with small publishers and talking with people about Virtual Editor.
Paribus staff visited the first annual
Philadelphia Book Festival,
at The Free Library of Philadelphia on April 21 and 22, 2007 to present Virtual Editor.
We had a great time meeting the Book Festival visitors and talking to them about Virtual Editor. We initially attracted people to our table with adorable plush "Pooks" (from Michael Stadther's "A Treasure's Trove"). When we spoke to people we focused on the fact that everyone does some type of formal writing, whether for work, school, or their soon-to-be-published stories.
People were very interested in how Virtual Editor could help them with their writing. A number of people were eager to go home and try it for themselves.
Thank you to everyone we met at the Book Festival.
