Could we please split up those two threads:

1. Where can we create a documentation to list standards, related projects and 
any other consensual information about OL?

Thanks, Anand. Presumably, that's what we've all been waiting for. Lets create 
this "community" section.




2. What is OL aiming for? That is a whole other subjet. Having a (seperate) 
wiki doesn't solve this question at all, I agree. But nobody said it would. So 
yes, we should discuss this question (on this list) but not mixing it up with 
the wiki question.

I don't see other projects having so many structured information about works 
and it's editions. OL is machine readable. I think that should be the goal: 
Having as much structured information about any work we can.
