      Hi, I am looking for someone with knowledge of the Omeka platform that might be interested in working on building a site for a NY Statewide initiative that includes folklorist digital materials. I am the regional and county folklorist for Brooklyn. I am currently working on a New York State Council on the Arts supported project to create a interoperable statewide portal that would display and catalog digital materials collected by folklorists throughout the state. As we move into the second year of grant funding, I would like to get some guidance from someone that knows what it takes to build an Omeka site and customize certain aspects of it. Please let me know and I appreciate the fact that this group even exists.

      Hi Christopher,

      If you haven’t already, you might float out a request on the Omeka designer/developer marketplace forum.

      I’d say it’ll also help to define a sense of what kinds of building / customization you anticipate. Much can be done via the admin UI and shortcodes. Theme tweaking and customization is a different story, and customized behaviors via plugins are yet another.

      In general, a good starting point for knowing what you need Omeka to do and what customization might be called for is to figure out, for your corpus, what defines an “Item” in Omeka, and whether the user interactions you want are available out of the box. Then, there’s looking at the existing plugins to see if they get what you need.

      The other thing is whether you want a custom theme, or can make little tweaks to an existing theme that gets the job done for you.

      Hope that helps,
      Patrickc
