Allan Gyorke on 09 Jun 11John Dolan sent me a note about this as well. He said that Stuart is interested in the Kno, but may not have a lot of time to examine it. John said that he would contact the other people involved with the Digital Research group in Liberal Arts. I have downloaded the app, but haven't used it yet.

Erin Long on 09 Jun 11I'd like to play around with it a bit to see what is has to offer... was thinking for Stuart's projects in particular. Maybe I'll bring it up with Stuart and Michael at our meeting next week. I guess the next step is seeing if the texts we use are even available.
