Hi all! I know this is coming in late, so I’ll be brief:

Recently, I was asked to think about how a museum could go about building a public commons — a digital project that would give museum staff and its surrounding community the ability to share news, jointly contribute objects & stories, and curate online exhibitions. I’m wondering if anyone coming to Pensacola this week is working on a similar project, or is interested in talking about both the kinds of technology (web-based platforms, CMS, etc.) and the strategies this kind of project would require.
