Week 5, we finished our Work Plan. I wrote the Omeka/Technical part of the document.  We also started working on our Data Management Plan/  Data Abstract &  Dictionary. We met Micki Kaufman and got great advice on our work/process.

Since we had decided not to pursue the New Media Lab hosting option, I suggested that, at least for the time being, we could host our archive on my personal site. By this time, Dr Maney had informed us that CUNY would provide us with Reclaim hosting option though at that point the timeline was unclear. As we were (or I was) eager to start building the site, I installed Omeka on my site. I learned about all the plugin options and made suggestions to my team members as to which plugins might be useful to install. I installed and started configuring several plugins and setting up the website. I encountered several glitches, and tried to figure out resolving the issues.
