Hi there: I work with the nonprofit PlanetMath.org (http://planetmath.org) on a CCBySA math encyclopedia and supporting open source software. If you aren't familiar with this project, check it out! We've been around since 2000/2001 and development continues.
One of the things we're interested in is helping forge new collaborations in the free/online math domain; pursuant to this end, I've recently created a "first draft" stakeholder analysis for online math, here: http://wiki.planetmath.org/AsteroidMeta/Surveying_the_Math_Metacommons If you're working in (or interested in) this field, please fact check! My long-term goal is to "hack math to make it more like free software"; the idea being that we can actually turn the everyday language of math into "source code". I'm developing a research prospectus for this large-scale project here: http://metameso.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl/Reengineering_Mathematics I'm currently looking for new collaborators and/or places I can plug in institutionally with this sort of work (e.g. a graduate program or other R&D setting where even one component of the relevant toolchain can be completed...).
