Good news! I look forward to seeing what the outcome is. I generally think that touching base with those involved in teaching/research relevant to open knowledge projects is a good thing. What about creating advisory boards? One for Open Milton, one for Open Shakespeare? I've been meaning to post on the SHAKSPER.NET list for a while. I will do this ASAP. I was speaking with several people at OKCon about working with academics, researchers, teachers etc. to build wish lists of features for projects like Open Shakespeare/Milton - to help determine what kinds of things would be most useful/valuable to those 'on the ground'. > A thought (and this was tangentially raised in one of the downstairs > sessions at OkCon) but is there any place where all the various outreach > activities are placed so that effort isn't duplicated or that volunteers > can find out what various plans are or might be? There are several places. For documenting communications (mostly to do with OKD + buttons), I've started to use: http://www.okfn.org/wiki/Communications For general 'to do' items, see: http://okfn.org/wiki/TodoList/ For project specific 'to do' items, you can see the projects' trac pages, e.g. http://project.knowledgeforge.net/shakespeare/trac/report/1 Is any of this what you were after? It would be good to sit down and take a fresh look at this sort of thing.
