Link/resource gathering discussion

All

• 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?

Awesome List topics

All

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.
