[open-archaeology] World Archaeology special issue

[Jonathan Gray]

Fantastic! A big well done to all involved.

Might any of the authors be interested in writing a brief (paragraph or so)
post about this for the main OKFN blog, outlining what the vision for open
archaeology is? :-)

All the best,

Jonathan
