[open-archaeology] Methodology Stores

Fri Sep 17 06:05:43 UTC 2010

Hi Colleen, 

Excellent. Thanks. More people at the AARG conference are expressing interest in this. I got a tweet from jo Walsh yesterday suggesting I put this forward as a project for the OKF. I'll do this when I get back unless there are any objections.

Thanks for your interest. This could be very exciting

Hello,

We (here at UC Berkeley) have been working on various methodologies
for digital recording, focused around artifact photography, excavation
and the like--we'd be happy to contribute, or be a part of any
resulting discussion.

Cheers,

Colleen

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.
