Folks:   For our report this afternoon on the status of the Wikipedia 
Digital Preservation article progress, please take a look at / have 
available the article outline that we have posted at:

http://tinyurl.com/9zk95ko
https://docs.google.com/a/apps.cul.columbia.edu/document/d/1zHAQN_S3ib_JntlXu1gljN4oLU002b3wdocFjCXHsvI/edit

This is the outline our group originally came up with and approved as a 
starting point for revising the article.  We have marked it up to show 
sections we consider completed and those theoretically still to come.

One question we'd like to pose is:  how much to prioritize improving the 
article as a whole as opposed to focusing more narrowly on improving the 
section on digital preservation best practices 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_preservation#Digital_preservation_best_practices), 
which is a stub which we had said we would start populating with 
linkages to actual external documentation of existing standards and best 
practices.   The audio preservation section is one example of what these 
individual media / format-themed sections might look like.

We should also discuss whether and how to get others involved in the 
project.

/Stephen
