Project Affiliation
Project Wikipedian in Residence for the Implementing New Knowledge Environments (INKE) project and the Electronic Textual Cultures Laboratory (ETCL). This is currently a fixed-term residency from January 2017 to April 2017.

Wikipedian in Residence Declaration of Goals & Agenda
As a Wikipedian in Residence for INKE & ETCL, our aim is to enrich related pages with some of the scholarly and peer-reviewed research and prototyping completed by these groups. The hope is to share further information about various research subjects, including but not limited to digital humanities, prototyping, interface design, critical making, electronic text, and scholarly communication.

INKE's Agenda
INKE, as per its website, is: "Funded by the SSHRC Major Collaborative Research Initiatives Program, INKE has been described as an interdisciplinary initiative spawned in the methodological commons of the digital humanities that seeks to understand the future of reading and the book through a historical perspective. For this essential work, INKE brings together researchers and stakeholders at the forefront of computing in the humanities, text analysis, information studies, usability and interface design into a network comprised of those who are best-poised to understand the nature of the human record as it intersects with the computer. Presently, INKE is transitioning from two key research groupings (Modelling and Prototyping and Interface Design) to two interrelated clusters: Capacity and Development."

Topics of Interest
INKE areas of interest include Digital Humanities, Interface (computing), Crowdsourcing, Hypertext fiction, Interactive Fiction, Visual Novel, E-book, Digital environment, Document Object Model, Human-computer interaction, Hypermedia, Hypertext, Knowledge environment, Social software, Textuality, XML, Software prototyping, and Text Encoding Initiative.
