Hi, documenters! I run Equinox's migrations team, and in the course of helping libraries implement Evergreen, we often run into areas where the documentation could be improved, or in some cases, created. From time to time I'll email this list about these areas in case any DIGers are looking for a specific area to write documentation for. The migrations team will also be contributing documentation.
To get started, this weekend a librarian emailed me about setting up organizational unit settings (under Local System Administration). She had asked why the default values for the various settings weren't being displayed, and I explained that a setting doesn't have a specific value until you actually set it. However, it occurs to me that there's a documentation gap: if a setting isn't set to a specific value, how does the corresponding bit of functionality behave? In most cases, it presumably acts as if the setting were blank, false, or zero depending on the specific setting, but I can easily imagine that there might be cases where the default behavior isn't so neatly predictable.
