At present we have no platform/space, outside of THATCampFL, for sharing ideas and exploring/generating research and teaching collaborations among Florida-based DHers. I’m interested in exploring possibilities for building a DH community site that would address this and perhaps lead to spinoff projects. It could be modeled after NYCDH.org, which was launched last summer, and could be built using CUNY’s Commons in a Box. We will need to think about how to make this site meaningful and sustainable. This past year I worked with our CAH tech team to install/launch UCF’s DH Academic Commons, and used it in my classes, but have not figured out how best to generate interest/activity among my colleagues with a shared interest in DH.
