[literacytent-general] ANN: LiteracyTent Document Archive

[Steve Linberg]

Friends of LiteracyTent,

The LiteracyTent Document Archive is now live.  Our elves were hammering
away at it all weekend long and we just took the wraps off.  It's a shiny
new repository of field-generated documents.  We're kicking it off with
some good stuff from Literacy Volunteers of Greater Hartford, as well as
the various technical documents about website planning and HTML that I
wrote over the last eight months, which finally have a permanent home.

The announcement and link is on the front page at
<http://literacytent.org>, or you can jump right to the archive at
<http://docs.literacytent.org>.

A document archive is only as good as the material that's in it, as the
announcement reads, so I'm extending to the world the suggestion to submit
anything they feel like sharing.  That of course includes all of you.

A final note: the LiteracyTent Document Archive is intended to be a
repository of FIELD-GENERATED work, work from the trenches.  This
dovetails nicely with the repositories at NCAL and NIFL, for example,
which are more research and policy oriented.  I think each picks up where
the other leaves off quite nicely.

Feedback and suggestions welcome, here or on the site itself.

Cheers,

Steve

PS: Those of you who know my purist leanings won't be surprised to hear
that with this site I have officially given up trying to be nice to
Netscape 4 users.  Since this is all a freebie and my time is donated, I
just can't spare the extra effort to write the broken HTML that Netscape 4
requires and that keeps us stuck in the 1990s.  It's all
standards-compliant XHTML 1.0 / CSS, and will look gorgeous in any recent
browser.  I know that's going to make some people mad, but I'll accept
volunteers to code broken HTML for Netscape 4 if anybody's willing and
considers it a worthwhile effort.  I'm not going to hold my breath on that
one. :)
