This is all we talk about! How do we sustain. I will post something separate in a moment with some more sustainability questions/ideas.

I think that Raymond Yee is on track with talking about creating for-profit entities. Every THATcamper has skills that are very marketable, so perhaps we should be thinking more about marketing them . . . anyway – great topic!

I’m thinking through myself how to create an organization (for-profit or non-profit) that could focus on developing tools and infrastructure for humanities computing. There are tools that I’d like to create that would be very helpful for humanists, but the same tools (with some tweaking) could also be useful to people with deeper pockets. Is it possible to build things for people with more money to subsidize work for people with less money? That’s a question I’m trying to answer.

I’m especially interested in hearing whether people think digital research projects are any different from any other research projects or digital projects in the commercial realm (i.e. development of a commercial website). My instinct is that they are a cross between the two. I’m also interested in hearing what others think about the distribution of responsibility among staff members of a digital project. What matters- Experience? Education? Seniority?

I wonder how digital history projects differ from “ordinary” research projects? Should digital humanities projects be run as separate initiatives, or should they be incorporated as part of the research infrastructure in larger, more thematic projects? We will probably have people at THATCamp with experience from both strategies (and probably several other strategies as well), so I think it would be good to have a session like this to share our experiences.
