Funders and Sustainability

Here's an interesting initiative on the part of the ACH to try to get DH funders to put guidelines in place for sustaining the results of the research they fund (reposting from Humanist List):

Bethany Nowviskie, on behalf of the ACH (Association for Computers in the Humanities) is seeking ideas for an open letter they are drafting to the funders of digital humanities projects, advocating for the establishment of data curation or management plans and open source / open access guidelines.
