Because I know that a big project requires organization, I've put together a project management document using Zoho<\/a> (and Indian web service with email, CRM, project management, etc. . . patterned on google but paid and without advertising). The project management document in zoho is not shareable, so I've exported it to google docs\u00a0as an spreadsheet. See it here.<\/a><\/p>\n

A colleague told me yesterday, \"You're trying to cram a sabbatical into a summer, good luck.\" She was sincere, both in her work estimation and encouragement, yet it reminded how much workflow and efficiency will matter for this project.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For example, I'm trying to decide if this blog is better on wordrpess.com, which has limited functionality but no upkeep, or if I should host it myself, allowing me to use all sorts of plugins but also requiring\u00a0maintenance. As I compile resources, often links to web pages or documents I create, should I embed those documents here, or share their origin database, say in Zotero<\/a>? I follow digital historians on twitter and across the blogosphere, and there appears to be no common or best practice. So, I'm going to do what takes the least time, a practice that will likely be less elegant but leaving more time for other things.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Next up, reviewing some of the literature on poverty and pedagogy I've already compiled, and reviewing the digital history tools I know exist.<\/p>\n
