What's interesting about #oneweek isn't the book publisher Wordpress plugin they built, it's the way they captured the web's imagination and drew people into the process. As the Atlantic reports, "Last week, twelve scholars came together at the Center for History and New Media at George Mason University to participate in the inaugural One Week, One Tool program. Supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities, their mandate was to build something useful: they called it a barn raising, and the structure they built is Anthologize.org. Anthologize is a Wordpress plugin that allows scholars, conference organizers, and bloggers to create eBooks out of websites." You can export in several formats, including PDF, ePUB, and TEI.

Brett Bobley writes, "What made this institute so compelling was the format. Rather than a more typical series of lectures, CHNM went with a "learn by doing" format. For Oneweek, the 12 participants traveled to Fairfax, Virginia for a very intense week learning how to plan, build, market, and deploy an actual, useful digital humanities software tool."
