Overview of documents

Broad overview of documents, AHA moments
David - Reached out to a number of institutions and did a brief survey of front-end data model perspective. What is the same, what is different, how difficult to do a migration based on the front-end framework. Islandora is probably the easiest - homogenous, core structure with solution packs, Islandora already has a migration framework. Some issues, some things to be rewritten, but Islandora will likely have the least trouble. Content will be okay, but custom front end will need to be required.

David - don't have to convert all XML to RDF. It is not a requirement.
Migration tools
David - there are three that exist - migration-utils, FedoraMigrate, Migrate_7x_claw (based on The Drupal Migrate framework). Can we leverage what is there/update?
...
Scott - documentation is a core are for our future developemntdevelopment. Google doing 'summer of documentation' "Google Season of Docs" - offering stipends of up to $6,000 for a 3 month documentation writer for technical documentation writers. Could be interesting for Fedora and Duraspace.
Erin - any feedback about the existing documentation about what should be addressed?
Scott - having documentation, and having it up to date. Having a good level of documentation is very helpful, it shows and makes it easy to develop and doing thing
Erin - helps to level the playing field.
Scott - writing good documentation is hard/a skill.
Erin - IMLS is focused on the US, documentation in English, should have documentation translated in other languages, and pursue funding.
David - need ongoing support for translation.
Este - could we start with the Fedora migration guide as a place to have multilingual support?
Tim - can we look at the survey to see what people need the most help with?
Erin - could we add content/metadata/ux migration into the survey?
Este - could we also mine Slack channels to see what kinds of questions come up?
