    According to the information on how to propose a session from the original THATCamp (“THATCamp Prime”), one session genre is a helpathon, where you “describe problems you want solved and questions you want answered, and strangers magically show up to hear about what you’re doing and to give you their perspective and advice.”  This is the opposite: I would like to offer help for people trying to translate a fuzzy idea into something more specific, approaching a data model and set of recommended tools for making it happen.  If you have some source material that you’d like to put online but don’t know where to start, or you’d like to create some sort of born-digital resource but are having trouble conceptualizing it, I’m your man.  My expertise is in documents and metadata but I can say a thing or two about non-textual documents and interactive resources.

    This could also be a great way to hammer out a proposal for the KORA accounts we are giving away – I will have an install set up if people want to play with it during GLTC.
