Feedback/Questions:
-How are we recruiting? Have some volunteers, will solicit more when lauched, have some specific people in mind to invite and will observe participation on mailing lists to invite others
-How is the Ambassador program different from the DGOC? Ambassadors are a web/network of users that primarily help others get started, DGOC members work on strategy and projects for the DSpace community -- may be some overlapping interests
-How do we take advantage of already established formal/informal networks (Canada's informal network)? Specific invitations?
-Need a dynamic document/workspace -- wiki -- for the tool kit, w/clear index of resources and offering Ambassadors a place to evolve their own resources
-Include example types of questions asked from the mailing list
-On the Ambassador's role description summarize the idea of the tool kit and include a link to it
