Hey all-

First off, thanks so much to everyone who came together at (basically) the last minute to help out on this proposal!  We've posted it over here:

https://newschallenge.org/challenge/libraries/submissions/local-knowledge-fellowships-a-residency-program-that-puts-the-library-at-the-heart-of-open-local-community-knowledge

Please take a second to "applaud" the entry.  I have no idea what that actually does, but it couldn't hurt. The folks at Knight seem to want us to do it.

This is just the very, very first phase of what (if it goes to the next several steps) may be a long process.  This isn't even a real grant proposal!  I'll keep you all in the loop as we learn and hear more more!
