I suppose something like a free/open/libre knowledge (FOLK? ;-) ) framework for co-ordinating work on these kinds of definitions could be the first port of call? I don't know whether this could be in the form of a mailing list (perhaps not yet another), a joint announce, or some regular IRC meeting? As you say - we are largely doing the same thing! > Would be a good initial contact for this?
