Most everyone's already received this in their confirmation e-mail, but I
want to post it both for anyone who missed it, and so it's included in the
thread on our T&B Discussion web page (all comments sent to this list
can be browsed on the T&B web site). Apologies for the intrusion!

TIME & BITS DISCUSSION: INTENT

---
"An integrated technical and philosophical discussion of digital archives
and their future that includes the sociocultural and economic implications
of both the problems and the solutions could provide a framework for
long-term digital cultural preservation.

We will use this Discussion List to present certain ideas for moderated discussion, including a summary of the state of the technological work. We will post comments and incorporate some of them into the body of work being collected.

The on-line discussion and meeting should provide a set of insightful and responsible recommendations that will chart a thoughtful course for the resolution of problems related to long-term digital data protection, preservation, and reconstruction."
