Thanks for the quick update Karen !
Please note however that my (team's) role would be reviewing rather
than drafting: our experience comes from installation for evaluation
purposes and from trying to grasp the more high level Evergreen
architecture & design picture. Migration experience by the way will
only be further down the road.
Yours, Repke

The wiki is updated, and the meeting recording is here:

I'll start with the end of the meeting, which is where we moved
into "what's next":
* We bid a fond and grateful adieu to Paul Weiss, who leaves us for
a job at Eugene Public Library. Paul was a founder of the DIG and a
major force behind its early organizational efforts, including the
90-day timeline. The DIG would really benefit from another
community co-facilitator to work with Karen. Think about if you'd
like to do this!
* After discussion, we committed to focusing on documenting these
areas --
** Reports (Karen Collier, working from Word docs, revising the
text and converting to DocBook)
** 1.6 Cataloging (Sarah Childs, Word revision)
** Sitka -- new features in 1.6
** Roma -- technical instructions (installation, migration,
upgrading -- don't worry, Roma, we know you'll pick one!)
** Daniel -- open
** Karen S. -- 1.6 new features
** Tina -- Converting Word to XML; CSS design; XML transform
** Repke -- installation, Migration, Upgrading
** Paula Burton -- editorial review
* Indiana Evergreen offered to host a 1.6 test server for DIG
purposes; he said it would be up in 7-10 days. It doesn't have
data. Karen S. offered to ask Equinox if there were data available.
* Mike Peters also reminded folks of the URL for the 1.6 staff
client: http://open-ils.org/downloads/evergreen-setup-
rel_1_6_0_0.exe It will be linked from the downloads page when the
release candidate for 1.6 comes out, probably next week.
* Steve Wills volunteered to focus on the public-bugs database
question, with a focus on processes for feeding information from
the community back to the developers. We agreed on a forward-
looking approach, focusing on 1.6.
* Karen agreed to check in the style manual's XML after the meeting
(done, to be discussed in a separate note).
Whew!
On the more housekeeping-ish items:
* Karen s. and Karen C. will post the survey results tomorrow. This
concludes the needs assessment.
* The environmental scan is done.
* Shannon and Karen S. will look at training/orientation once the
documentation writers have worked their way through a few files.
* Toolset -- this hasn't been linked yet; anyone who wants guidance
on what to use to produce XML, post to the list and we can give you
a good, refined response.
* Karen will modify the proposed directory structure to note serials.
* The scope/mission statement is on the wiki, listed under Terms of
Reference.
* As noted earlier, Sitka has chosen to go to DocBook for their own
documentation. This is great, because we need a working example to
help us figure things out!
