Last week''s New York Times special section on museums featured a lead article by David Gelles on Wooing a New Generation of Museum Patrons.

I have a confession to make: I've never cared much about museums on the Web. When smart people talk about digital museums and virtual experiences, I nod and compartmentalize it as someone else's bailiwick. And it breaks a lot of conventional rules about museum homepages.

This morning, I gave the keynote address for the Washington Museums Association annual conference. Again and again, I've been inspired by projects that invite collaboration in informal, ongoing, flexible ways. It features lots of museum-based examples. Their theme was “Building Community through Collaboration.”

Is this a research project? In almost all cases, museums assure me that they want to be in conversation, that they want to be responsive, that they want to “really hear” what people think. Sadly, it was the second story that was about a museum. Dave runs a yearly software conference called Flashbelt in Minneapolis.
