I strongly agree that education is a highly strategic target for LibO. Your
connections and experiences will be really helpful for us to devise a tactical
plan. I would like to work with the NYC school system to promote LibO myself,
though I don't have any connections there. Perhaps a well-designed plan could
help me get started...
I think I read somewhere that the was a member from NYC on our
membership. Not sure.
As for Academia, I have had over 30 years of ties both at the academic (I have
taught at some summer workshops approx. 15-20 years ago at University level)
and technical level (I am also a piano tuner by trade and period keyboard
restoring specialist). I can probably convince an extremely small group for
testing purposes, but I think we may have already enough academics on the list
who are prepared to help in this way.
I see a tangible reason to bring additional people onboard as testers--it may help them
develop a sense of "ownership" in some small way, that could gradually draw
them in to becoming community members within the project, and our group would grow as a
result. :)
I think some of the members on the LibO Academia list are interested and
I could probably convince some at the post-graduate level here in
Waterloo to test-try any improvements made in this way. The interest so
far lies in bibliographic extensions, an admittedly painstaking activity
when done by hand, but the Zetero extension and the up-and-coming
Mendeley solution look promising. Albeit a little complicated at setting
up. I am still looking into both of these. I may have to write a thesis
to test these! LOL.
