Stefano, thank you for getting this conversation started! I think the convergence of libraries, archives and museums has already been under way for some time, and that a technology-based discussion list like this one is the perfect place for the conversation to continue. Single-purpose lists also often seem to struggle to get a critical mass of discussions going, so unless there are strong objections from other list members, I'd second Amalyah's call to keep the discussion here (at least for now).
