[Wikimediauk-l] DHOXSS
Which is to say http://digital.humanities.ox.ac.uk/dhoxss/, a summer school in digital humanities. My intuition is that we need to connect GLAM with DH as soon as possible, as one part (there are others clearly) of getting a sustainable GLAM 2.0 model. I'm not sure about how to do that, but I think I'm going to continue asking for a bit. I normally march in the opposite direction from anything saying semantic web. But I'd be very interested to know how WMUK does for contacts in this area of endeavour.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] DHOXSS
I agree looks great. We do have some links to OII as we gave them the uk wiki edu of the year prize. I'm meant to be talking there in a few months. However this course looks like the kind of thing I wish I could gate crash. We do need to make sure we don't get overtaken and our valuable stuff is included in the future who ever writes it.

One of the purposes of the document is to include a toolkit of useful resources and templates so that anyone communicating on behalf of the WMUK staff and trustees can find these resources in one place. If access is needed to them by volunteers I'm sure it will be given. I really would like to reassure people that it's not about keeping things private for its own sake, it's just being sensible. Given that the UK wiki is public, if all of these account details and resources were there, there'd be nothing at all to stop people accessing and using them for nefarious purposes. I think we can all agree we don't want that. That said, if there's things that anyone on this list think I can be doing to be more transparent please do let me know.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Can I get wikimedia-uk to buy a ROV?
One of the problems with this is that the ROV doesn't quite exist yet. Cost would presumably be £500+ ish, and I think it's an awesome project, but it really does need a proposal (with justifications, approximate costs, possible uses) to be made to the board. We also need to ask how much the upkeep would be, and if there's anyone in the community who can look after the thing!

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Can I get wikimedia-uk to buy a ROV?
I think there is some second guessing going on here so I'll have my guess at what Geni wants to do. It is possible to not want to dive or to take pictures but to get involved in this as an open source project. If that was the case then it may still hold water (sorry). As Richard notes, we'd need more of a description to say yae/nae. Question I'd ask myself is would this be gathering dust under somebody,s bed? However we do have difficulty in finding good projects to fund can you describe one to us?

It is possible to not want to dive or to take pictures but to get involved in this as an open source project. If that was the case then it may still hold water (sorry). Well at this point they are fully funded so not much to do other than wait and see if they produce an actual product As Richard notes, we'd need more of a description to say yae/nae. Question I'd ask myself is would this be gathering dust under somebody,s bed? Under a pile of paperwork more likely. Sure things like HMS Hazard can be dived without permission but more interesting stuff would generally require working with a respected archaeological group or university. That said an ROV might get around the ban on HMS Hood (1891). I can think of a few other targets but my knowledge of wrecks is limited to the solent area. In terms of marine life while thats not really my area I assume there must be something on the basis that you can get reasonable results just sticking a waterproof camera in a rock pool. I admit better restults could probably be obtained in areas with near surface coral.

Hood (1891) is sunk across the breakwaters at Portland Harbour. It's visible from the shore :-) Hazard is in the English Channel, although neither are dived very often.

Things like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resurgam are also in range but paperwork heavy. Unfortunately the Darwin Mounds would be out of range by a factor of about 10.
