[game_preservation] Library of Congress funds project for game preservation

[Andrew Armstrong]

Thanks for Delurking Jerome, worth knowing all that information. It'll 
be interested in seeing what the efforts produce, it'd be great if you 
could keep us posted (I am sure a website will appear somewhere :) ).

Second Life is an interesting choice, and I'll agree its got its own 
problems, therefore, worth looking at, so I'd especially think it worth 
seeing what comes from that part.

Thanks a lot for information on this PLANETs project 
<http://www.planets-project.eu/> (since I am new to the game, as it 
were) - I will see if I can contact Adam, from a quick google search 
this page <http://www.linkedin.com/pub/0/95/445> was about the best I 
could find, so I'll give it a shot. It'll be interesting to know what 
the British Library might be doing since I might be able to practically 
help. They seem to have their heads screwed on regarding digital media 
and DRM, copyrights as best I can remember too.
