As of June 2022, the Sinopia User Group is on hiatus. If you're interested in re-starting the group as a facilitator or co-facilitator, please get in touch with the LD4 Community Steering Group at ld4-steering@googlegroups.com, which provides support for LD4 Affinity Groups.

About the group
The Sinopia User Group is for anyone using Sinopia, the cloud-based cooperative cataloging tool developed by LD4P, to allow Sinopia users to:
- learn about the latest Sinopia developments
- surface common challenges and needs for Sinopia
- provide real-life use cases and scenarios for Sinopia user interaction, and respond to potential designs
- give input to the Sinopia development team on questions around understanding user requirements, and prioritizing requirements
- have a feedback channel in addition to the Sinopia ticketing system
Group history
- The group began in August 2018. Early in the group's history, the group informed planning of user aspects of the original Sinopia roll-out.
- Calls were every 4 weeks (formerly every other week), see Running meeting notes.
- (Side note: The former PCCTG1 list was used for the Sinopia user group only for the duration of LD4P2, ending June 2020, and is no longer used for Sinopia.)
