Please note that the URL for AcademicCommons is www.academiccommons.org/ (I got it wrong in the earlier post).

John: when you sent me Academic Commons a few weeks ago, I looked at it with the early plans for DHCommons in mind. There are points of intersection here that we should explore at THATCamp LAC.

This site arose out of a couple of conferences about technology and liberal education I helped to organize at the Center of Inquiry in the Liberal Arts at Wabash College several years ago. Mike Roy at Middlebury College has been the primary force behind it and has made important linkages to NERCOMP and NITLE. But the site has not been as dynamic as we had hoped, and we’ve been contemplating its future. We’d greatly appreciate it if you poked around the site and were willing to help us think about how this project might be useful to the DHCommons group and larger THATCamp group.

I’m eager to see the site and where it goes.

Will the community of DHCommons consist of humanists only? As a computer scientist interested in exploring DH collaborations, my disciplinary perspective would certainly differ from a lot of folks’ (although I hardly see myself as some kind of alien being).

The address is dhcommons.org/, but it’s still in the prototyping phase and so not wholly public (though we’ll be able to kick that over before June 3). The basic idea of the site is to help link those who are running or starting DH projects with others that might be interested in helping or collaborating, and it’s very much geared towards helping those at small institutions who might not have the total support or skill set to complete projects. The site is the hub where one would go to actually search and find people or projects, but we’re currently trying to partner with a number of institutions to create a nationwide DH collaboration network. Hope that helps some.

I don’t know where it is or what it is. Thank you!
