Integrations sub-team update

From @Max Eckard (Unlicensed):

Here's out notes from last time. We got a few responses to our Google form, so we discussed those, and brainstormed ways to communicate new integrations with the community- that should be happening soon.

This month we're continuing to focus on establishing tiers of integration definitions and examples and identifying ArchivesSpace integration points.

@Patrick Galligan (Unlicensed) added that they should be emailing the community soon about the integrations the survey identified.

General announcements - open floor

All

• Harvard EADChecker validation tool release

• Jekyll static finding aid tool

• NYU undertaking location management work

• Container management discussion

@Ann Cooper (Unlicensed) requested that anyone with ideas about an FAQ - particularly those most active on the listservs - please get in touch with her.

@Noah Huffman suggested one that would be useful is encouraging those posting links to useful helper scripts on list to also post on the ASpace scripts page. There is a lot of useful work being shared on the list, others may not be aware of it.

Next meeting time - March 21  @Terry Reese (Unlicensed) on deck for notes.
