7 things I learned the hard way
• Collaborate in method not just output• Digital is different, not a substitute for physical
• Consider technical requirements and skills
• Plan for sustainability and maintenance• Share skills the best way you can• Museum space is contested, digital museum space is too
• Relationships are important
1 thing I learned the easy way
• Sometimes someone is working on just what you need
