Action Points

1) The WINE web-site

To implement the WINE web-site as first planned and following the WINE/ATHENA application. This will imply to:
- build the web-ring;
- update all documents and the list of partners;
- put all documents on line (the working documents, the WINE/ATHENA application, the updated statistics when ready);
- build the bulletin board, to be used for discussion among partners;

2) The figures of WINE

In order to succeed in presenting the products of year 1 (see the WINE/ATHENA application), we need to:
- correct and update the questionnaire;
- circulate it among the WINE partners and more widely among non-partners;
- to collect the new data and elaborate the statistics

3) Recruitment of new partners

It is necessary to both plan a more “efficient” way of recruiting partners and to consolidate the already existing WINE group.
- This should imply a wider and regular circulation of information capable to reach a larger number of future/possible partners.
- In order to involve new partner institutions, we should be able to answer to the key-question: “Why should I become a WINE partner?”. Each of us should see the added value that being part of such a network brings to our libraries, documentation centres and archives.
- At the same time, it is necessary to focus on the consolidation of a WINE core group.

4) The DGX proposal

We discussed the proposal for the project of a European Women Digital Library, to be submitted under the DGX call “Culture 2000”. We focussed on the following issues:

- The content: how do we envision a EWDL? Which challenges do we see involved in such a project?
- The technical part: details and problems
- The partnership: who would be interested in participating as co-organiser and as simple partner?
- The budget: the co-funding of the European Commission will be of the 40%. How do we cope with such a restriction?
- Future co-operations: to check out the Gabriel Project, which could help us building a consortium of libraries interested in the creation of digital libraries.

5) The WINE stream at the conference: “Sources for Research and Action. Politics of Feminist/Gender Information and Documentation”.
- Last-minute check, details, technicalities.
