[open-archaeology] World Archaeology special issue

Thu Dec 6 08:32:56 UTC 2012

OK. I am making an assumption that everyone is supportive of this. It 
would be nice if we could make a big splash and host all the articles as 
pre-prints in one place (essentially an open mirror to the closed world) 
with a page that summarises the whole content with links to the full 
articles.

If Steko agrees then I (or someone else) can contact Mark and the rest 
of the authors and co-ordinate this.

Agree? Steko - your opinion as group co-ordinator?
