  • Paul – rather than be so burdened by what already exists, come up with a blueprint of what we want and come back to look
  • Paul – wiki, forum for discussion, calendar
  • Mike – web presence for marketing, repo, issue tracker
  • Listservs is ripest for improvement – 18
    • Aim for 3 outside of governance
    • Technical, community, and all - not work group listservs
      • see the activity and not losing things by siloing the traffic
    • Should we move to a forum (software called Discourse) to have more curated archives?
      • Subversion is cumbersome – can't add in bulk
      • other groups use email on Google groups – then let Google find them
        • Google groups for business – might be worth checking out
        • DuraSpace's other projects run on Google Groups
        • Can add non-members to Google Groups and can assign permissions to Google Docs and folders
        • DuraSpace has an active and large CRM database with 10,000 contacts with multiple tags, several thousand of whom are VIVO contacts
          • we need to capitalize on that, wherever it is in transition from Constant Contact to Zoho
          • we need write access as long as we don't mess up their system – we can improve their data about VIVO prospects

          • DSpace has 1700 sites
        • We'd have to script Google Groups and the CRM together as step one – have to verify that's possible
      • StackOverflow is nice and available – very open assets
        • can you follow? can you notify?
        • Jim – the purpose of StackOverflow is to bubble the best answer to the top, while a discussion wants to have answers in sequence

  • Mike is not available next week
  • Week of the 27th? – tentative for Wednesday April 29th at 3 ET
  • interview assignments
  • supplement the content
