I was involved with NITLE-sponsored TEI initiatives while working at Wheaton College (MA) some years ago, and I continue to follow developments in this area. I appreciate the enormous potential for enhancing intellectual access and engagement with primary sources through TEI and other encoding projects and crowdsourcing initiatives. I would characterize our first major "digital history" undertaking at the Naval War College -- the Nimitz Gray Book -- as a "dream project" that should be shared, vetted, and brainstormed with others who are excited about bringing history to light.
