Nicky Agate started the topic Docs in the discussion
HuMetricsHSS on Humanities Commons 9 years, 1 month agoHi all,
I’ve created a doc for us to collaboratively edit an agenda for Friday. Feel free to move things around, add things, etc. It would be good to have an idea of what everyone wants to do.

Best,
Nicky
