While this may seem a simple request, determining the shape and parameters of your project can be quite complicated. Digital projects can be superbly multi-faceted, and can manifest themselves via any number of creative outputs, which we call <b>sites of production<\/b>. These sites could include, for example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A user-facing WordPress website<\/li>\n<li>Project code stored in GitHub<\/li>\n<li>A digital exhibition in Omeka<\/li>\n<li>A dataset in XML<\/li>\n<li>Internal tools built by project staff<\/li>\n<li>Conference presentations, slide decks, or written publications<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As you go through the modules of the Roadmap, you\u2019ll be asked to consider questions such as who your project is designed for, what parts of it are most important to sustain, who is responsible for its technologies, and how it is funded. Many of these questions can be answered differently for different parts of a large-scale digital project. In order to respond to these questions effectively, therefore, your team will need to decide\u2013and agree on\u2013what specific digital components of your project you are addressing as you work through this iteration of the Roadmap.<\/p>\n<p>Some, or all, of your digital project\u2019s sites of production may be fair game for your work with the Roadmap, but we <em>highly<\/em> suggest that you run this workshop on <strong>one of them at a time<\/strong>. Assessing multiple digital manifestations of your project in tandem might seem to allow for some efficiencies, but it often creates confusion about priorities in and among the different outputs you are discussing. It can also be quite overwhelming.<\/p>\n<h4>Additional Resources<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cohen, Daniel H. and Roy Rosenzweig. \u201cPreserving Digital History.\u201d <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Digital History: A Guide to Gathering, Preserving, and Presenting the Past on the Web<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.
