Good point. Thanks.

Perhaps we can plan on a Sirtfi meeting at TNC2015 (or perhaps it is
already planned and I have not paid enough attention) and then broaden
the discussion to include how to bootstrap an "eScience community"
that would be able to take on the role you suggest.

It will be important to ask projects like CLARIN, DARIAH, DASISH, and
ELIXIR if they could participate.
