Draft ARK History, in a wikipedia (WP) sandbox

Probably (a) too long for WP history and (b) not neutral enough for WP.  Questions:

  1. who can help derive a WP-appropriate entry?
  2. where might a longer-form entry be published?
 John

JK: draft WP history needs citations and links
PC: text might as well be in first person, and less neutral, be published
helpful for it to be clearly a first person, non-neutral
TS: agreed, and writer of WP history could cite it heavily
JK: suggestions on where to publish?
KE: can we put it on the wiki?
TS: that might preclude publishing it as "original" work
TS: another possibility is whitepaper in Escholarship
ACTION: TS will undertake review with an eye to publishing as an article
TS: what venues do you have in mind?
JK: "First Monday"?
TS: Code4lib journal might be a good venue
PC: style and content will depend on venue; thinking less about peer-reviewed; venue could be a history page on a wiki, saying here's what one person did, here's the passing the torch,
MG: history could use to be more of a timeline
TS: there's a Taylor & Francis publication "Internet Histories", that I can't
quite vouch for: https://think.taylorandfrancis.com/page-ah-internet-histories/
PC: both that and IEEE history of computing are humanities publications,
and this piece might be too short and not far enough in the distant past;
OTOH, they both do first person accounts; another format to consider would be in an interview format; is code4lib peer-reviewed
TS: like the idea of an interview format
KE: agreed
PC: interviewer could be anyone of "us"
JK: maybe include in end of year wrapup?

TS: good idea
TS: next steps
MG: is there any call for action or participation
KE: maybe there should be a second post next year with call to action
