Special Projects Fall 2021
Digital Comp Lit Pedagogy Groups
Style Guide Team 01
Create materials that help to “standardize” entries; this might go beyond a usual style guide (which details conventions of spelling, mechanics, etc.) and take a more user-friendly form, etc.

Welcome Guide Team 02
create a 'welcome' and process document that explains how to create an entry, what an entry “ought” to include, how and when to “improve” an entry etc.; it could also include some technical details (like when to make a link) whether an entry should link to external sources or local files, etc.

one of the values this project could bring is making the materials that have been digitized (13 issues, 300+/- poems from dozens of languages) more accessible and searchable. To do this, careful and thoughtful development of a taxonomy of tags (national, language, genre, etc. ) might be beneficial; then these could be applied to items. With a system in place, it would be somewhat easier to create a new entry page, add minimal content and appropriate tags. This could probably conducted via small groups doing different parts.

Placeholder Page team 05
creating an entry wiki-page with its its title, a link, (PDF extract)and space for future “overview, context, commentary, and bibliography” information. Perhaps also minimal meta-data, such as the country or language of origin?
