[open-heritage] Check this tumblr out! Re: Blog roll of case studies

Tue Sep 25 16:00:16 UTC 2012

Hi there -

Glad you like it. If anyone is interested in having direct access, just 
let me know and I will invite you.

Sam, I noticed you submitted a link to http://theatricalia.com/ That 
isn't necessarily a case study - is there a case study documenting 
Theatricalia?

Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I though this blog roll was supposed to focus 
strictly on case studies (since we need more, and they aren't organized 
anywhere) versus just general links to projects and tools. If this is 
the case, I'll have to rename and modify the blog.

Thoughts?

-Sarah
