- DH Commons Becomes a centerNet InitiativeDHCommons (http://www.dhcommons.org) and centerNet (http://digitalhumanities.org/centernet/) are pleased to announce that, as of January 5, 2012, DHCommons will become a sponsored initiative of centerNet. As a centerNet initiative, DHCommons will help lower the cost of entry into digital scholarship and bridge gaps between large humanities centers and solo practitioners around the world. Together, DHCommons and centerNet will continue to develop the web-based collaboration hub at dhcommons.org, sponsor face-to-face events at a range of humanities conferences, seek grant funding for a program of micro-grants that would help connect solo digital humanists with resources and expertise in the larger digital humanities community, and jointly plan the future DHCommons platform. Together, DHCommons and centerNet will dramatically simplify collaboration among a range of scholars, institutions, and centers.2012-01-04 15:32:47

Forget the Year of the Dragon. It’s the Year of The Code. I am code-literate; that is, I can play with variables and arrays just enough to exercise some control over projects. But I don’t code. And I don’t think I, you, or we necessarily must code. read moreUsines 3D : mise en ligne des corpus et du site web Saturday, 11 February 2012, 1:49 pm
