OK can we decide where to hang out. I've contacted Gabriel on the Wiki, but there are 3 pages it could be:
Digital classics Digital Classicist Digital Medievalist (once created, of course)
I suggest camping out at Digital classics as that is the parent article. You need to stake out a position by establishing a big parent article with lots of things linking **to** it. Talk pages don't count. The best way is to find related articles, add in a section or just a sentence that mentions digital techniques, then add a link to the parent article.
The parent article should be Digital classics in my view, but you guys are the experts.
Once you've got, say, 20 articles linking to it, then you have something no one will ever delete, because it is so embedded.
Next step is to make brief mentions of the 'child' articles. Then create the child articles. These should not be too much like adverts. Make a good case for the child article adding research or subject interest.
AND LOTS OF PICTURES!!!! Wikipedians love pictures, I can't believe you guys. This is a subject area that is crying out for some beautiful manuscript illustrations, carolingian whatsits, finials, you name it. I have stuff if you don't, but let's make a beautiful wonderful article. Wikipedia is all about plumage.
So, let's go.

Thanks for all the helpful comments.
I'm not sure, however, that "Digital Classics" is the most useful page to consider the parent article. Firstly because Medieval Studies is not a sub-discipline of Classics ;-) but both are subsdisciplines of the humanities. Digital Humanities (an already existing article) would be a much better parent. There are several Digital Humanities bodies, institutions, and publications (among which DM and DC) that *are* listed in Wikipedia, I think.
Pictures: yes! Anyone have pictures they want to put into the public domain?
