This report is coming awfully late, about two weeks into April. This is largely beacuse right around the turn of the month I was moving the main sabr.org website to a new server, which started a few days before the end of March and trickled into April. Around the same time, I heard back from several (4, I think) chapters and committees about putting up sites, so I have been working as hard as possible on those, and I'm almost caught up now. The server moved dominated the month, pushed back the sabr.org redesign, and also makes this list rather short:
- Developed and implemented a delivery system for the Emerald Guide to Baseball
- Improved our website analytics with some combining of sites and a funnel to track new member signups
- Moved the main sabr.org site and about a dozen others, and eliminated about 6 dead sites
- Scanned the first issue of the National Pastime, found an OCR program that should actually function well
- Set up a testing/development Linux server; its first use is for the aforementioned OCR
- Modified an online text editor to create a tool to speed posting Bioproject bios
- Created one chapter draft site, and one research committee draft site (the committee site turned out very well, and I look forward to announcing it here in a month or two when it goes public)

If you're reading this article, you're probably here because you've just read that we're switching to a standardized ID system for logging into the SABR website and other sites. I hope to use this article to explain why we're doing it, and why it's good.
It's a fairly long explanation, because it's a fairly involved issue, but if you're really curious, this should explain the situation.

Today we announced the launch of the new Baseball Research Journal Archives site. The content in the site came from a Joomla site set up by Becky Bristol last year, and was initiailly scanned in by Eileen Canepari a few years ago. I'm hoping that we can refine this content, getting rid of some OCR errors and add more in 2009.

February was a very busy and eventful month. I made several major announcements, and the month ends with a lot more things on my todo list than were there at the beginning. Some highlights:
- Announced the Baseball Research Journal Archives.
- Announced to chapter and committee leaders that group web sites are available in-house now.
- Installed time-tracking software to analyze how I spend my day
- Copied the experiemental journal archive site to our server, set it up and made it suitable for public access, then announced it to the membership
- Recruited members to help proofread the BRJ archives and set up a workspace for them
- Prepared a plan for a wiki-based encyclopedia, presented it to the board, and they approved it
- Developed a draft technology plan, also presented to the board
- Converted the content of two non-SABR sites to run on our server
- Set up OCR software to experiment with community prooferading in future digitization.
Coming up in March:
- Beginning the process of developing the encyclopedia (this won't be visible)
- At least one or two new chapter/committee sites
- A re-organization of the main SABR website
