I've been doing a fair amount of online reading about new media art (partly Mozilla-related, partly for my own interest) and came across something I thought might be of interest: The guidelines that the New Media department at the University of Maine has created for evaluating faculty:
http://newmedia.umaine.edu/interarchive/new_criteria_for_new_media.html http://newmedia.umaine.edu/interarchive/promotion_tenure_redefinitions.html Faculty working in new media art have similar issues to what we've discussed in the context of TOS: much work is done collaboratively both across institutions and with people outside academia, much "publication" is done via informal channels (mailing lists, blogs, wikis, etc.), and there's not a lot of traditional institutional acceptance and promotion of people's work. So I thought the approach U of Maine is taking might be of interest.
