THIS MONTH'S TO DOs:
-OR10 DSUG: Please contribute your thoughts to the mtg planning -- you may not be able to go -- but we'd really like to put together some great content for repository mgrs -- AND record it for you and others, if possible!

3) Dynamic Database Review
Lets see a version!: http://www.dspace.org/component/option,com_formdashboard/Itemid,31/^{Image Removed}
Issues:
-URL in detail veiw (content item) not a hyperlink
-why have a sort in the table on SITE (link)
-some links have an extra 'http'

...

Another option: have a work session where developers and repo mgrs w/specific interests (metadata, stats, etc) split up into groups and explore what modifications would be helpful, specific as possible-->output would be a list of recommendations

5) Community discussions: DSpace Forum - DIDN'T COVER THIS IN EITHER MTG
This series would be a moderated discussion lead by designated persons. Roughly 6 X / year, the moderated discussion will engage the DSpace community encouraging them to share experiences and ideas to other repository managers, catalogers, technical librarians and committers. The forum can be from 1-3 days with a new topic each day.  A general call for topics will help to define issues to be discussed.  Results of each day of forum will be complied and posted on the DSpace website to be used as a resource.  I propose we have one person responsible for the forum in general and allow volunteers to serve as moderators, either from DGOC or larger community.
