We have all been quiet, after your emails, and we need to crank this
discussion up again, or we won't have anything concrete to recommend to our
respective governing bodies when the year is over....

Sure--I think that would be a fine idea. If Oxford were interested, we
could talk to them, but Virginia is also a possibility, now that they are
getting more involved in electronic publishing in the humanities, and
Blackwells also, perhaps--they're doing the companion to digital humanities
that I'm editing with Susan Schreibman and Ray Siemens.

I agree that it should do its own publications: the suggestion about
republishing from print was meant as a way to connect the two, and to amass
some selected essays from LLC (and CHUM, if Kluwer were willing) to make
the online site immediately substantial, informative, and attractive.
