[open-archaeology] Method Store

Leif, Ant, all,

The URL is actually http://arts-humanities.net/, especially the 
methodological taxonomy at http://arts-humanities.net/ictguides/methods 
(although I fear that *have* been some stability issues with the server, 
but it seems OK now, touch wood).

The main principle here is (not that controversial here, I would 
think!), I think that information should not have to be entered in 
multiple places more than once. E.g. what we have in 'our' taxonomy is 
static descriptions of methods, and I would really like information 
about what you call 'workflows' linked to those, and also onwards to 
projects and activities which exemplify those applications.

Cheers,

-Stuart
