[Larry Masinter]

I think we might do better this year than we did last year.  

* Develop the "Museum Mode" "Demo Mode") and develop some interesting demos that a museum goer might interact with.

* develop our bibliography code and methodology and software infrastructure to the point where it can be picked up by other users as a Zotero or Hugo (or both) extension.
