Hi Rob Everyone,
I would be willing to take part in the first of these informal
gatherings. Coming from a relatively small museum I realize that there
is not a lot of information out there for collections managers/curators
of smaller institutions to help them build there own collections
management applications if they do not already have a background in
information technology. Perhaps a long term goal coming out of such a
meeting would be the production of a fact sheet or guide (web based or
otherwise) for those who may choose to go down the self-built
application route or would more information before making that choice.

Hi everyone,
All the ideas in this thread sound great. I'm wondering if two very
informal gatherings in Minneapolis might be useful for two nested
groups of us--something like:
- one in which we could share ideas about conceptual aspects of
home-built museum data management tools, as a broadly scoped
conversation about whatever open-source software or shrink-wrapped
development environments we're using, and especially about how
standards figure concretely in what we're doing (or might do) with
them; and ...
just thinking out loud,
Rob
