Hi Adam,
Answers inline - hope they are clear.

An easy way to do this is to add a sentence to the description -
http://omeka.okfn.org/items/show/93. Another option is to add a new
field called something like 'Highlights'. What would people prefer?
I see that you can browse collections by source on your site
http://publicdomainreview.org/collections/ - do you have any of this
information in a spreadsheet? Name of collection, Url of collection,
description, Url on PDR? If not we can still add it - just might take a
little longer.

And linking back would be great too.
We should definitely think more strategically about how we could link
the 2 sites together in the future.

We have a rights field, it is currently free text. I am hoping to
install a controlled vocabulary plugin (just waiting on systems to
approve) - we could possibly use it here - though there are occasions
when complications require explanation. We are also starting to think
about ratings ("these are open collections but some are more open than
others") - again something for the group to discuss. I'd also like to
use the exhibit feature to highlight "awesomely open collections" ;-)

Possibly another opportunity for exhibits. Any ideas on themes would be
great. Using existing categorisations (from PDR or elsewhere) is a
possibility.
(Your other comment) Ah yes and another idea. We could somehow
incorporate the Curator's Choice series:
http://openglam.org/curators-choice/ . Perhaps as a unit on the homepage.
Another great idea. I can definitely see this as a feature box on the
home page. I'll check this with our designer.

It would be great to chat more about how the PDR and Open Collections
Page can work together if you have time. I am away on and off for the
next two weeks but are you free week of 16th March maybe we could have a
call? We could pick a time that you, Lieke and I could attend and then
open it up to any other members of the working group who might want to
contribute.
Thanks
