Michael PiotrowskiI don’t get it (well, I think I do, but you know what I mean) why so many #DigitalHumanities project proposals try to be all things to all people: it’s a critical edition, but it also studies several historical research questions, and it’s a corpus, and it develops new NLP tools, and has a new intuitive user interface, and it uses AI, and it will fight misinformation, and it goes on and on. All of this in three or four years, with part-time staff. I’m not even exaggerating.
Overpromising doesn’t make your project more attractive to reviewers. Quite the contrary.
