1. Questions/comments/additions to news and events
2. KnowledgeBase Preview
-Background:
--community feedback that documentation needs to be easier to understand, more examples/showing, more accessible language, make entry level experience easier
--also wanted a logical place to put many useful community resources that didn't belong in the official docs
--informal mtg at OR11 with interested 'advisors'
-Strategy:
--patterned after the Ruby on Rail's RailGuides - framework for including text-based guide, screencasts, presentation slides, webinar recordings
--material to be collaboratively developed by user community, developers, service providers, committers and the DuraSpace organization
-Goals
--NOT to replace/duplicate official docs - a supplemental resource including dynamic content delivered through various methods (text, screencasts, etc) using lots of examples/visuals
--make users immediately productive with wither DSpace of Fedora - help them understand how to set up and run a repository
--framework to encourage collaboration in bite sized chunks
-Framework overview
-separate wiki 'space' for DSpace, Fedora and umbrella - ability to easily jump between
-how to contribute - roles (content contributor and content moderator) laid out
-draft table of contents - topics to be covered - contributors not be limited by initial draft
-sample content developed
-What's next?
--feedback from interested advisors - now
--soft launch to the community to solicit contributors/moderators - mid-Dec
--more publicity/activity in Jan/Feb
