NDSA:Clearinghouse of Digital Preservation Information

How can the NDSA leverage technology to build a full and complete information resource?

Some things already exist that are worth exploring:

Digital Curation Exchange (http://digitalcurationexchange.org/)

Digital Humanities Now (see the NDSA Ideascale link at http://ndsa.ideascale.com/a/dtd/Launch-automated-digital-stewardship-innovation--new-journal-/29396-4760) "Digital Humanities Now is a real-time, crowdsourced publication. It takes the pulse of the digital humanities community and tries to discern what articles, blog posts, projects, tools, collections, and announcements are worthy of greater attention.

Digital Humanities Now is fully automated. It is created by ingesting the Twitter feeds of hundreds of scholars followed by @dhnow (a list of scholars taken from a digital humanities Twitter list), processing these feeds through Twittertim.es to generate a more narrow feed of common interest and debate, and reformatting that feed on http://digitalhumanitiesnow.org/, in part to allow for further (non-Twitter) discussions.

Dan Cohen of the George Mason Center for History and New Media made dhnow using Wordpress and the twittertimes algorithm and has offered assistance in setting it up.

The main task of curating NDSA members is to put together the list of twitter users this kind of thing would track to generate it (Carol Minton Morris has begun a list of NDSA Outreach members, but we should go farther afield and query the NDSA membership for Twitter users of note) and a few volunteers to check the queue every once and a while and push things live."
