A brief note thanking not only Peter Robinson but all participants for the willingness they have shown thus far to share techniques, tools, and examples with the list. It was exactly to get this kind of interchange that we set dm-l@uleth.ca up. We hope to collect these tips and tools as soon as the website is up, and encourage you to consider submitting project reports, notes, and research articles to the Digital Medievalist journal (about which more next week).

I would also encourage those with questions to share those as well. The community of practice model suggests that questions--even quite basic questions--are very useful in fostering the development of a community's skills. The provoke others into considering techniques in new ways and foster the sharing of expertise. I hope to follow up our discussion of what we might want to see in a primer next week as well. -dan
