Richard, of Science Library Pad, pointed me towards PROWE, Personal Repositories Online: WIKI Environment. This initiative was just launched by JISC in the UK, and while there’s nothing to see there yet, the project description sounds like something distance librarians would want to participate in. I won’t reproduce the whole description here, but here’s the first sentence, "The PROWE project (Personal Repositories Online: WIKI Environment) will
provide an innovative informal environment to support collaboration and
learning amongst part-time, remote tutors on distance education
programmes, and will build on and be evaluated alongside the asset
repositories and digital library collections which are already
available."
Intriguing, no?
