[game_preservation] University of Texas now into MMO Preservation

[Vowell, Zachary W]

Hey Andrew, I mentioned this here!:

I'm not sure if she knows about the SIG, but since we'll be working with her some, I can definitely clue her in.  Also, I think Henry's on her project's advisory board.  For the most part, I think she wants to gather data (i.e., interviews) on how MMO developers create games, and the artifacts that are produced along the way.

Also, I know she'll be running a blog that tracks the project's development, so I can let the list know when that goes up.

No news to those who read GameSetWatch, but interesting none the less
and worth bringing up here:

I wonder if the person going to run it, Megan Winget, even knows about
our small group, or about the Library of Congress efforts on Virtual
World preservation. Austin is a good place to start though, I'd admit
that much, and the amount of money isn't exactly tiny (although I have
no idea what they intend to do!)

Looks interesting, I hope something good comes out of it :)
