This may be of interest to list members. It appears to have an Arts and 
Humanities focus:

"Project Bamboo is an 18-month planning and community design program 
where through a series of conversations and workshops, we are mapping 
out the scholarly practices and common technology challenges across and 
among disciplines to discover where a coordinated, cross-disciplinary 
development effort can best foster academic innovation. Input into the 
Bamboo process is sought from individuals who come from a diverse range 
of institutions (small liberal arts colleges to research universities), 
organizations (consortia to content providers), professional backgrounds 
(faculty, librarians, researchers, IT leaders, and technical 
specialists), and regions.

We are evaluating our findings through the creation of demonstrator 
<https://wiki.projectbamboo.org/display/BPUB/Demonstrators> software and 
pilot applications, which will in turn refine and inspire future 
discussions with a progressively diverse audience. As we lay the roadmap 
for shared services development, we intend to create a rich community 
wherein any faculty member, scholar, or researcher can use and reuse 
content, resources, and applications no matter where they reside, what 
their particular field of interest is, or what support may be available 
to them. The final outcome of our planning project is a detailed 
argument and blueprint for the development of the Bamboo implementation 
program."
