OK, so this has not been updated in three years. Perhaps our first task as a group is to get a handle on what has been done in the interim and prioritize the wish list which is on this page.
I understand with Aaron's death that we may have trouble determining the status of some of these items and / or assigning teams to pursue them, but I'm at a loss myself now as to whether any of these items are being pursued and what I can do to begin to further any of these objectives. For myself as a small publisher with some 2,000 titles, most - maybe 90% are not in the OL or Archive database. I'd like to get them there at some point, but the process of creating an individual record by hand is too tedious. Maybe I can work on streamlining and documenting that process for smaller book collections.
