Great list Francis. Covers many important angles of our work. I think we need to start working with actual archives, and pilot the structure. This will let us know what is missing or excessive for a digital poetry archive. A categorical search function will be needed, one that relates to different kinds of digital poetry and the discussions related to them. I've posed some of these questions regarding "genre" in my recent blog about defining digital poetry. Francis and I are meeting with Jeannette Kopac, program director of the Center for Digital Media in Vancouver, who was the CBC archivist for many years, to get some ideas and inspirations about putting the archives together, funding them, and the nitty gritty of necessary catalogue information. My hope is that we'll have an initial action plan and can start to act on it in about 5-6 weeks. If anyone has further suggestions as regards this list, please put them forward in the next 2-3 weeks so we have time to review and consider them. Thank you.

K and I were in agreement that we should encourage either releasing items into the public domain or the use of creative commons. I think we should incorporate CC licensing as a balanced approach, as it has a broad range of options. The copyright fields can have date as well as toggle-selection of many license categories. Flickr.com is a good example. We would have to elaborate and clarify on a page or two about this policy and approach and link to creativecommons.org appropriate pages. Drupal may have some nice integration somewhere, I'll look into technical options.f (damn, I'm going to have to make the comments field be plain text as well, this is ugly)
