Just a little update: Val and I are progressing this area now. Some events and thoughts are:
We presented a paper at the UoD's LTA Conference on 9th July 2009. This included our card which is now printed and some further thoughts behind the reason why we're doing what we're doing.
We also talked about (briefly) the advantages and disadvantages of blogs and wikis. Blogs are 'upsidedown' in that the latest items are at the top when you read them and they're linear. Perhaps more challenging is that contributions can only be freely made by using the Comments facility attached to each entry; this can be restricting as the only way to add an entry is to go through the address and this can be affected (wrongly so, I think) by perceptions about moderation and netiquette. The big advantage to blogs are that they are simple to access and use and we believe this outweighs some of the downsides.
Val has also collected some voices which we need to explore ways of putting this on the blog; these are audio files of practitioners talking about their experiences. Whilst Val and I were discussing this, we started to address the important issue of editing - more on both these and others, we suspect, later!
