Folks:

Below is a quick update on where we are with the in-process rewrite of the 
Digital Preservation article.   Priscilla and Andrea may want to add their 
comments.  I unfortunately have been shanghai'd (politically incorrect?) to 
make a presentation tomorrow right at 3:00 when our conference call is 
scheduled, so I'll have to catch up on the conversation 
afterwards.  Sorry.  /Stephen

1. Priscilla Caplan has joined our revision working group (with me and 
Andrea -- others are welcome!)

2. Based on additional input and discussion, we have revised the earlier 
outline substantially.   The working copy of it is now being managed in 
Google Docs:

         https://docs.google.com/document/d/1efjrPtREvTdz8TN2KfuZ4GlarqEEfImFC7wGQYm4PNo/edit 

or tinyurl

It is world readable, but editable right now only by the three of 
us.  (More welcome to join.)

3. I have made a preliminary stab at interpolating parts of the original 
article into the new outline.  What I moved over will still need a lot of 
work; what I didn't move over is probably not worth retaining, although 
others should feel free to counterpropose.

4.  On the to-do list right now:  Priscilla has agreed to begin drafting 
text for the sections starting from the top;  I have volunteered to being 
drafting text for the sections starting from the bottom.  (hm...)
