Dear all,

I changed the title of this bulletin to reflect efforts to increase the
coordination and usage of 'open literature' at the OKF.

Lots of news this week:
- http://openliterature.net/ has launched
- New Words of the Day: alabaster, ebony, and (forthcoming) jump, keep
watching: http://openshakespeare.org/word
- Open Shakespeare was presented at a NESTA event in London:
http://openshakespeare.org/2011/07/08/open-shakespeare-at-nesta
- New essay on Shakespeare and the City:
http://openshakespeare.org/2011/07/08/james-harriman-smith-shakespeare-and-the-city-the-theatrical-city
- Andrew Murphy has agreed to write a guest blog post about Open
Shakespeare: bio here: http://tinyurl.com/5voq8jx
- A sixth form teacher in Hertfordshire has agreed to trial Open Shakespeare
as a learning tool for students tackling Twelfth Night
- There is now a crowdfunder project for printing an Open Shakespeare
Edition of Hamlet:

- Preliminary interview about annotateit between OKF members and Cambridge
University journalist

utitlity...)

Have a great weekend everyone,

James
