The address is:</div><div class=""><br class=""/></div><div class=""><a href="https://github.com/nimshav/EthnoComm-Repository" class="">https://github.com/nimshav/EthnoComm-Repository</a></div><div class=""><br class=""/></div><div class="">As for now, I published the collaborative bibliography we constructed as an html file in the address:</div><div class=""><br class=""/></div><div class=""><a href="https://nimshav.github.io/EthnoComm-Repository/" class="">https://nimshav.github.io/EthnoComm-Repository/</a></div><div class=""><br class=""/></div><div class="">It is crude but functional. The biggest advantage is that we will not have to rely on any individual’s private google account. I will transfer the ownership of the repository to the next admin in the same way we transfer ownership of this ver list. </div><div class=""><br class=""/></div><div class="">A detailed explanation for how to commit changes into the source file will be delivered soon. The language is html, so edits should be rather simple. Additional advantage of the GitHub workflow is a better control over editing and versioning as each individual commit is approved by the admin and an immediate backup version is created and archived by the system. </div><div class=""><br class=""/></div><div class="">In the future, I will see if there is a convenient way to store and circulate actual research materials.</div><div class=""><br class=""/></div><div class="">In the meantime, I leave the original google doc intact.
