- 3 main themes emerged from our last meeting
- 1. Introduction to DSpace

- E.g., how to set up a submission form, how to set up an embargo, etc.
- 3. Advanced configuration settings
- E.g., developer requests (tasks/features you can’t do from the admin UI)
- 1. Introduction to DSpace

- Remove any locally specific information, repurpose the general info
- Preparing for the documentation
- Timing for writing docs? What works best for folks?
- On your own time? Testing ‘jog’? (2 or 3 weeks)
- Various comments
- "I think it would be nice for folks to divide themselves into subgroups to have clearer goals.
- I also like the idea of a jog.”
- “Focused time would be helpful for people to schedule dedicated time to work on this.
- I also like some space between a couple 2-week time frames - could make it easier for more people to participate depending on their interests and abilities.”
- Suggestion to solicit submissions of existing documentation from schools which can then be repurposed
- Timing for writing docs? What works best for folks?

- We can also involve the National User Groups
