Inspiration from ACLS Cyberinfrastructure Report:

•Federal funding agencies and private foundations should establish programs that develop and support expertise in digital humanities… (Our Cultural Commonwealth, p. 6.)

•Universities and university consortia should develop new and support existing humanities and social sciences computing centers. (p. 6)

•NSF, NEH, IMLS, the Mellon Foundation, and other funding agencies should support the development of tools for the analysis of digital content. (p. 7)

•The NEA, NEH, and IMLS should work together to promote collaboration…. (p. 7)

• What are we missing? What important humanities-relevant info tech educational project areas have we overlooked?

E.g., Second Life as well as Web for the Faculty Humanities Workshops
