I concur with both Michael and Jo here - I think it is a great plan, and
would be happy to participate if I can.

I'm working on the set up of a group focusing on developing the
principles of open scholarship in academic research, which would tie in
perfectly here. Obviously I can't make a full commitment without the
consent of the other project partners involved, but will ask the
question of them today. I may be able to help with some funding if
successful.
