January was a good month in my work here at SABR. I got to know the organization in the November and December, and in January started getting some work done. Here are some highlights:

• Put the final touches on the group site kit that chapters and committees can use
• Launched some websites:
  • projects.sabr.org - This site, for information on future projects, status updates, and documentation
  • chapters.sabr.org - Mostly a placeholder for now, but it has a nice map
  • chapters.sabr.org/bobdavids - The first chapter site using the new group site kit
  • chapters.sabr.org/fieldofdreams - The second chapter site
• Set up Google Analytics on all sites
• Planned for the future SABR Encyclopedia - working on bringing all of SABR's research into one place. The plan should be published here late next week.
• Attended the 2009 ASAE Technology Conference, which was very helpful.
• Got a Windows development environment running at the SABR office for doing work on the baseballindex.org code

Coming up in February:

• The plan for the Encyclopedia
• Hopefully at least one more chapter site
• The Baseball Research Journal archives
• Screencast documentation for the group site kit
