Project Overview

What this repo is

This repository is a lightweight content-first project to build a picture storybook version of part of Chaucer’s The Nun’s Priest’s Tale. The story currently stops at scene-level drafts in README.md and is focused on creative content preparation before moving into animation/stop-motion production.

Current scope

  • Story form: text passages organized as numbered scenes.
  • Current artifact: README.md containing scene draft content.
  • Current objective: maintain a clean, navigable wiki summarizing and indexing the repo content.

Current state

  • No application source code exists yet.
  • No build/test pipeline exists yet.
  • Content is primarily narrative text.

Working assumptions

  1. The wiki should describe, not replace, the original scene text.
  2. Scene text remains the source of truth; wiki pages should be regenerated/updated from it.
  3. New pages should be cross-linked through this index and character/entity pages.

Known risks

  • Scene language contains OCR-like artifacts and inconsistent style from source extraction.
  • Some passages are repetitive or incomplete and may need future cleanup.
  • No explicit technical stack or code ownership model is defined yet.
