My empyre resolution is that, together, we build a wikipedia/Craig's 
list of all interdisciplinary courses at all colleges and 
universities and start making connections across and among our 
different offerings.  The SyllaList would include a place for 
uploading syllabi and would require folksonomy tags and would help us 
all to understand the changes we are making at our institutions and 
would help support us as we try to expand the vision of what learning 
is and what learning does.
