[Foundation-l] NEH grant

[Brianna Laugher]

I went through the application information and I think we could
definitely be a strong contender, if we had a good partner and a sound
project.

Please contribute ideas here:

Basically, we can't use it to purchase existing collections, and we
need to have a specific project with a partner such as a library,
museum or archive. So we need to brainstorm on either what good
projects would be (and then, who would be good to approach as a
partner?) or on who good partners would be (and then, what would make
sense as a collaborative project?).

After mulling over this a bit, it just screams LIBRARY + WIKISOURCE to
me. We need a partner who is sympathetic to open content and not
putting restrictions on public domain material.

If you have ideas for good partners and/or projects, please put them
on the meta page!

thanks,
Brianna
