Monthly Report: March 2009
Written by Peter Garver, SABR staff

This report is coming awfully late, about two weeks into April. This is largely beacuse right around the turn of the month I was moving the main sabr.org website to a new server, which started a few days before the end of March and trickled into April. Around the same time, I heard back from several (4, I think) chapters and committees about putting up sites, so I have been working as hard as possible on those, and I'm almost caught up now. The server moved dominated the month, pushed back the sabr.org redesign, and also makes this list rather short:

  • Developed and implemented a delivery system for the Emerald Guide to Baseball
  • Improved our website analytics with some combining of sites and a funnel to track new member signups
  • Moved the main sabr.org site and about a dozen others, and eliminated about 6 dead sites
  • Scanned the first issue of the National Pastime, found an OCR program that should actually function well
  • Set up a testing/development Linux server; its first use is for the aforementioned OCR
  • Modified an online text editor to create a tool to speed posting Bioproject bios
  • Created one chapter draft site, and one research committee draft site (the committee site turned out very well, and I look forward to announcing it here in a month or two when it goes public)
