Any comments?

• Looks good

• How did it go? 
  • hard to evaluate the quality, was really interesting research
  • A lot more to gather than expected
  • where to draw the line in what to include and what not to include
• Categories
  • might want to clump resources, esp related to migration, regarding what systems/tools people are coming from
  • Categorize Integrations by existing categories on AS website (i.e., digital preservation systems, content publication systems, import/export integrations, reference and reading room systems)
  • don't want to steer people away from other resources that might be helpful. Maybe have a 'general resources' category or 'workflow' categories that apply broadly.
  • Pull out broadly appealing/detailed posts into General and group by system and tool and see how that looks next month.
    • let's try this in Migrations: links could be in two places (the system-specific category as well as the general category)
  • Plug-ins: Importing vs. Exporting data and different functions
  • Write a checklist or questionnaire, 'getting started' section. Anne Marie will keep thinking about this, maybe create a doc in the google folder to flesh out as we go.
• Review list – discuss Maybes and Nos
  • Keep older migration docs for now because some people might still be migrating to older versions
  • Address whether or not to keep links to older plug-ins further on (month 3)
  • Don't exclude anything just yet for being "too repository specific"
  • Link to all plug-ins and integrations separately
    • Can utilize indented bullet lists for resources listed in sources – do this for different versions of the same plug-in
• Address any issues that have arisen
• Add explanatory text? Such as an introduction or blurb accompanying each link. Other formatting decisions.
  • Include something like "Not seeing what you need?" way to give feedback from users about other things
  • Include a link to ArchivesSpace and institutions that support it, the membership and community, trainings, etc
• Are any notable gaps in info/resources?
  • None that we've noticed so far
• Other?

As of now: migrations, plug-ins, and integrations. 

Identified other topics? What to do with those ideas – create a list?

• Implementation
• Trainings and documentation
• Scripts that complement ASpace

We'll include a way for users to contribute to the lists, so it's possible the community can help us populate some of these other topic areas.

Formatting - Anne Marie

• Add brief explanations following links
