[game_preservation] University of Texas now into MMO Preservation

[Andrew Armstrong]

Awesome! I like things I can get my digital hands on. I'll report this 
in the blog tomorrow. If Megan, or you, are willing, we could use some 
good ideas if she wants to help contribute at all to the whitepaper, 
since absolutely no one has come forward on the wiki site yet or emailed 
on this list ;-)

I'll have a look in more detail tomorrow, in any case (and check, if I 
have time, other sources of possible ideas and throw something up here), 
thanks Zach!
