[game_preservation] Library of Congress funds project for game preservation

[Andrew Armstrong]

Hey Henry,

Is there anyone from the Illinois, Maryland and Rochester Universities 
on this preservation mailing list? It would be interesting to get their 
thoughts and plans for the project, since it only gives basics on the 
statement (although useful basics :) ). Actually, Linden Labs are 
mentioned too (so are any of them here?), but not exactly what Second 
Life is going to be involved in, so that'd be worth knowing. Its not 
exactly an old, unavailable game, so I was slightly surprised (not in a 
bad way) seeing it mentioned.

Getting your views too on the project would be great, since this seems 
like a brilliant project.

Shame I don't know of any initiatives like this in the UK, I will have 
to research it and see what parallels there are over here.

Andrew
