It was difficult to find information about integrations that were not already tracked on the Integrations page. In part, this is because it is challenging to find integrations that are not advertised or that are for more niche/localized use cases, but the Integrations sub-team could also do a better job of advertising itself, asking about new integrations, and making it easier for members of the ArchivesSpace community to let us know about integrations.
While the sub-group approach worked, there is a possibility that it could place more of a burden on the sub-team chair to keep up-to-date with all of the sub-team’s activities or could lead to broader communication issues within the larger sub-team.
One of the larger work plan goals for this term’s Sub-team was to review the results of a survey on desired integrations that was conducted by the previous term’s Sub-team. Group members found that it was difficult to assess or report on the results of a survey that was created by a previous group, and recommend that future data collection efforts start at the beginning of a term and are wrapped up by the end of that term so that the same group of people can create the survey instrument, assess the data, and generate reports. If that is not possible, then any Sub-team that begins a data collection project should try to document the intentions behind that project as much as possible for the next term’s members.
