February was a very busy and eventful month. I made several major announcements, and the month ends with a lot more things on my todo list than were there at the beginning. Some highlights:

  • Announced the Baseball Research Journal Archives.
  • Announced to chapter and committee leaders that group web sites are available in-house now.
  • Installed time-tracking software to analyze how I spend my day
  • Copied the experiemental journal archive site to our server, set it up and made it suitable for public access, then announced it to the membership
  • Recruited members to help proofread the BRJ archives and set up a workspace for them
  • Prepared a plan for a wiki-based encyclopedia, presented it to the board, and they approved it
  • Developed a draft technology plan, also presented to the board
  • Converted the content of two non-SABR sites to run on our server
  • Set up OCR software to experiment with community prooferading in future digitization.

Coming up in March:

  • Beginning the process of developing the encyclopedia (this won't be visible)
  • At least one or two new chapter/committee sites
  • A re-organization of the main SABR website
