[humanmarkup] possible contacts (Fw: 15.328 cultural heritage workshopat NIC2001)

[Ranjeeth Kumar Thunga <rkthunga@humanmarkup.org>]

I'll start to post potential contacts on our TC board as well.
The Humanities Discussion Board (if you guys haven't already subscribed) is
a very good place to start.

We'll need to make a couple of passes at our outreach strategy as well...

You think we should just ad-hoc contact them, or have a strategy?
