[game_preservation] Preservation Whitepaper Brainstorm Progress

[Henry Lowood]

Hi Melanie,

The first audience is the IGDA membership, so the White Paper must 
make an effective case to the industry and to game developers.   Of 
course, we can speak to other groups, as well, ranging from players 
to collectors to academics and cultural institutions.

Also, the first White Paper, as we sort of roughly framed it, would 
make the case for the importance of preservation, and the 
needs.    Optimistically perhaps, we hoped to have it ready for GDC 
2009.   Then we thought to follow on for GDC 2010, based on the 
several projects that have started up in the past year, to do a 
second Paper on best practices.
