Hi M,
Was glad to have talked with Reed President John Kroger over lunch under the big tent near the Student Union, yesterday at Reed, and mentioning WUaS just briefly in our conversation. (He has degrees from Yale University and a law degree from Harvard). While we didn't talk about an online law school or anything similar which might benefit Reedie graduate students in a professional school,
it was good to network this way nevertheless anyway. Perhaps we will be able to talk further about academic questions in the future as a consequence of this. For example, here are some questions I posed to him in a Reed publication -

which we haven't yet talked about (accessible here -

and here from a recent blog post -

Glad too to have asked a head of education at Wikipedia (who's also interested in developing Arabic at Wikipedia) about developing WUaS in a new wiki soon - and it seems like, after quite a few years, that this could actually happen. I'm fairly patient and will continue to be fairly patient.
How has your day been? How are you?
L,
Scott

Hi M,
All this from Oregon:
Heard a great Reed rare books' presentation by librarian Gay Walker (who's talks I've gone to before) in the Reed Library (which is central to the life of Reed) just now ... inspiring ... French illuminated manuscripts ... British arts and crafts ... Beat poets ... treasure after treasure ... such creativity in book form over so many centuries ... Afterward, she gave everyone who wanted it a poem in calligraphy by Phillip Whalen, a Reed student and poet, with the calligraphy by Lloyd Reynolds, someone who as a Reed professor made calligraphy known at Reed (and Apple's Steve Jobs took part of a calligraphy class from Father Palladino back in the 1970s) ... was able to get the calligraphed poem between two pieces of cardboard back to my room before ...
I asked Gay at the end of her talk about WUaS developing in innovative ways 3D printing and a WUaS Universal Translator using pre-copyright illuminated manuscripts et al ...
Pictures to come ...

Just found this one of Beat Poet & Reedie Gary Snyder Gary Snyder in Wikipedia speaking at Columbia University - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Snyder -
and there are some blog entries here with Gary Snyder speaking at Reed's 100th Anniversary.
It just started raining again here in western Oregon.

Would be great to be to invite Gay, who's retiring in a month, to become head librarian for MIT OCW-centric WUaS Library Resources planned in ALL 8,444 languages.

Selling my "Naked Harbin Ethnography" book at the Reed Marketplace tomorrow - http://reunions.reed.edu/marketplace - and it would be great if the Reed Bookstore could begin to carry it in their "Faculty and Authors" section, which I just noticed yesterday ...
