(Goals) This initial, exploratory phase used minimal planning and investment in an attempt to quickly work out a workflow for the digitization, transcription & indexing of a single issue (Geek Weekly #1), by a single person (me), who is also its creator. My goal was to complete this phase by 1 August 2012. I got close: I mostly-finished over winter break 2012-13 but, as of April 2013, I’m still finishing up little bits (like editing this blog post). Keep an eye on the blog for progress updates. A final report will be available here sometime in the fall. For information on my vision for the future (phases) of this project, see this blog post.
