Dear GO::DH,

I'm consulting a faculty member at my U.S. institution who is in turn
working with several cultural heritage and activist organizations in
Colombia. They have conceived a project that would enable several (not
yet in existence) web archives to be browsed together. They're asking
about interoperability (before they build things, doing it right!) but
also seeking existing models for wrangling many players, generally small
organizations and local universities. They'd like to get the project off
the ground with agreement on a common vision and everyone's extent of
participation, while respecting local autonomy.

Do you know of existing models they/we might look at, for the
organizational part? There are many other questions, including who will
drive this thing and how it will be funded, and we'll address those
here, but first they're looking for best practices regarding how to
organize.

I know this is a big question, but if you know of an organizational
collective of this kind that is working effectively, I'd appreciate a
pointer.

Many thanks,
-Vika
