Thanks for the links to your other proposals – I saw that one of the commenters on the second post left a handy google doc full of useful info! You and I should definitely get a coffee together and brainstorm that distant-yet-looming panel we are on in the fall 🙂

i think one of our biggest problems as historians trying to do this work is that we’d like to work with software that’s customized to our specific research findings and/or the unique interpretation we bring to it, but the products that are readily available have to fit a variety of needs and maybe aren’t customizable enough for us. that said, do try to attend the omeka and viewshare workshops on friday if you can, just to get an idea of what some of the current ready-to-go solutions are, and i hope we’ll be able to learn about some others at your session, or during the weekend, as well.
