[DCRM-L] Genre for a manuscript

[Kate Moriarty]

Hi Dawn,

You can use DCRM(Manuscripts) for your description. It's in its final draft
stages and the latest version can be viewed and downloaded for free from
the Manuscripts Working Group wiki:
http://mssworkinggroup.pbworks.com/w/page/21898502/FrontPage. A more recent
version will be posted in the next few days so check back.

If you have any questions the list of editors is also on the wiki - feel
free to contact us.

Thanks,
Kate
