Digital Preservation Q&A Forum

  • Had a call with multiple WG members, as well as others in the digpres community, including reps from UK and Europe.
  • OPF has agreed to set up a Q&A site on their servers. Will do so in the next few weeks and then we will test features/functionality and have another call to plan outreach/promo/launch
  • We will seek full NDSA approval of participation in the project and will coordinate outreach and solicit the participation of affiliated organizations
  • May be the potential for WG to help host/run/promote events or action teams to help push this project forward.
