Good idea. I've been thinking along similar lines, and have submitted a proposal with Axel Posluschny for an ESF workshop to discuss some of this in early 2011 (including a few more of the people you're with right now); I want to follow up on it with a round table at CAA2011. But no reason not to start working on it already, and happy to contribute myself,

Dear Ladies and Gents of the Archaeology OKF working group,

I'm currently sat in a very comfortable loby of the Caro Hotel, Bucharest, Romania awaiting the Aerial Archaeology Research Group (AARG) conference to re-start. It's a hard life.

I've been chatting to a number of people here, who have some reasonably serious and high profile projects, about developing a methodology store. Initially I'm aiming at the heritage remote sensing community, but there's no reason why this shouldn't start off as something generic. I'm thinking of something where methodologies can be hosted, discussed and changed (with changes tracked, forked etc.). I see the changes coming in light of changes in theory, technology (important for remote sensing) application area etc. etc. In order to get increased adoption a "gestation" area has been discussed where method is only open to the active community until agreed public release.

The benefits are obvious. Is anybody else in getting involved. Can OKF provide expertise, advise on infrastructure, hosting etc. Newcastle University has facilities through the 3dheritage project: that, however, may be too domain specific

Best
