Ahh, my bad! I didn't realise that was specifically this funding. The
word "online world" "MMO" or anything didn't spring to mind since I
thought you had posted nothing on those words specifically :)<br>
<br>
Actually, it's rather a shame it is now specifically MMO/Online only.
Austin has a lot of non-MMO developers ;-) I suppose the work you're
doing is more general.<br>
<br>
In any case, that's <b>ubercool</b>. ^_^ - Let us know if anything
interesting goes online - if it is videos, and you don't have bandwidth
spare, the IA is happy to accept anything (even at really low quality)
if it allows it to be viewed! I'm also totally envious of being able to
ask questions to developers for storage in history. I should really
look into seeing what I can get done in the UK regarding that...hmmm,
maybe next year...once you know, I have money or something and know
more people, hehe.<br>

Hey Andrew, I mentioned this here!:<br>

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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>

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