Scott's Notes:
Many Fedora 3's have been inherited from the original implementers by IT groups, digital archivists and collections managers who may not be plugged into the community via email lists, etc.
- So I'd recommend an outreach effort that focused on publicizing Fedora 6 and migration help outside the usual channels
- posting to forums like code4lib, the dspace forum (many institutions that run DSpace also run Fedora), NDSA lists, PASIG lists, Samvera, Islandora, etc
- Digital curation listserv as well
