Thanks for the info. I wonder if this is the raw text, or, if they cleaned it up?

They say there on the site "Its heavily corrected text is of outstanding importance for the history of the Bible and the manuscript - the oldest substantial book to survive Antiquity - is of supreme importance for the history of the book."
What do they mean by that?

What do they mean by that? | I think they're referring to all the correctors throughout its history. There were quite a few of them. H.J.M. Milne & T.C. Skeat of the British Museum wrote a book detailing this in Scribes and Correctors of Codex Sinaiticus (London, 1938)
It's really only useful for historical purposes.
