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>
