How I think about Omeka, CollectionBuilder, and Wax

(the messy version)

Tl;dr

• the more you move to spreadsheets, text editors, and the command line from applications with admin interfaces:
  • the more control you get!
  • the more work + thinking you need to put in to the workflow and how it will include your collaborators
• sometimes this control is worth it, sometimes it isn't; it depends on your goals + resources.
• minimal computing isn't about purity politics! it's a provocation to clarify your goals and consider alternative tools and methods to best suit the goals and resources you have.
