2. Open discussion on how DCAT is working / how it could improve
-we have played a role in bridging the gap between user community and committers - success in 1.8 - JIRA issues w/DCAT interest seems to be addressed with higher priority
-clients appreciate DCAT the effort - feel like they have more access to developer community, see an improvement
-positive development
-couple people never participate - maybe pull them in on more narrowly defined project
-intimidated by lack of knowledge or skills - don't feel I can get involved
-discussions get lost among everything else - maybe need a more focused time to work on - have DCAT e-forum for 2 day period - Thurs & Fri
-add deadlines for tasks on the action item
3. Improving metadata support project teams formation
...
