Wiki Productivity Pattern - One browser

How I organized my web browser for development of the OER Handbook.

Only one browser was used (typically Firefox 2, later Firefox 3)

Tab 1: E-mail

Tab 2: OER Handbook main page

Tab 3: page being edited

Tab 4: another page being referenced

Tabs 5-12: Pages external to WikiEducator for research purposes.

Useful Firefox extensions
Taboo: Stores pages with a small thumbnail. Useful when you want to save a page, but don't want to bookmark it.

Zotero: I didn't use it for citation purposes until the very end, but users can export any collection as a "Wikipedia Citation Templates," which presumably are simply citations formatted with mediawiki markup.

Other tools used
Skype: conference calls.

NeoOffice: text-editing.

Early Stages

 * 1) Respond to any e-mails regarding the project.
 * 2) Solicit contributors via e-mail.
 * 3) Add new content to the handbook.
 * 4) Review existing content and improve.

Later Stages

 * 1) Check watchlist
 * 2) Compare current/prev versions of pages to analyze contributions.
 * 3) Add any applicable items to the issue tracker.
 * 4) Work on any high-priority issues
 * 5) Work on open issues in issue tracker
