"My Evidence..."

I like that this project attempts to get people thinking about why they believe what they believe and why they know what they know. I think that is something sorely needed in a world where many people believe any statement without knowing how the statement originated. We are all probably guilty of it at some point. Hell, I know that I have at times believed things without knowing their veracity.

However,I do not think the project goes quite far enough. It does not really mention why we believe the claims and theories of established scientists rather than some conspiracy theorist on the internet. I think that with a few extensions, the project could address the issue more fully. Still, it is a wonderful step towards illuminating where information comes from, and why we believe it.

"Open Collection..."

Sounds like a cool program, and definitely something that's needed in museum collections. I'd love to see a standardized one for all collections, as it would make it much easier for museums to share information.
