[OWW-SC] $200k NSF SGER grant for Wiki research to U of Colorado

[Mackenzie Cowell]

I just read <http://radar.oreilly.com/archives/2007/02/nsf_looking_for.html>that
the University of Colorado was awarded a $200,000 SGER grant from the
NSF to develop "A New Generation Wiki for Supporting a Research Community in
Creativity and IT<http://www.nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward.do?AwardNumber=0709304>."
Based on their abstract (excerpt below) it sounds like they are trying to
develop a wiki framework that would be a boon to oww.  Should we touch base
with them?

The proposed research will create environments that go beyond existing Wikis
(being primarily focused on hypertext) to permit the integration (not just
attachment) of other forms of media ranging from movies and animations, to
sharing of datasets, to the creation and utilization of social network
information to support community interaction, to conceptual mind-mapping
media.
