Mark - we migrated from CONTENTdm to Islandora 3 years ago. 1.3 million objects. We created the Move to Islandora Kit. Lots of metadata profiles. We will lose people if the migration isn't reliable. The process is driven by Drupal tooling not Fedora tooling. It's a different route. Anxiety in the Islandora community around Fedora 3 to the new models in Fedroa 4 - the way MODS or any XML metadata to RDF. We have an active metadata interest group. The data model in Fedora 3 - people are used to it and comfortable with it. It's ike an email with attachments. People can't see how that will translate to Fedora 4. Echoing the software is easy and people are hard. Communications piece here. Do people think about the Fedora. What do people know about versions and difference between. Categorizations.Prepare people to migrate every 3-5 years. How will that impact decision making? Framing migration as an ongoing process that's iterative between the 3-5 year process.
What about service providers? Do we need those? Users have money and not people. We're seeing that trend.
Tim - I could look at our file system and recreate it. There's comfort in that.

Agile methodologies recommended. Staff turn over and single points of failure. Needed to define roles and create contingency planning.
Pause for discussion.
