P is People. Know the capabilities of your audience.
Know what scaffolding they’ll need.
O is objectives. Pick one. Decide on your objective
before you decide on a technology. Then figure out how
you will measure it.
S is Strategy. Figure out what will be different after you're
done. Imagine you succeed. How will things be different
afterwards? Imagine the endpoint and you'll know where
to begin.
T is Technology. A community. A wiki. A blog or a
hundred blogs. Once you know your people, objectives,
and strategy, then you can decide with confidence.
