New Project Idea: Digital Preservation Infrastructure Tours

To frame a series of presentations and interviews that would be published on The Signal we establish a set of questions for presenters/interviewies to respond to. The idea is to get people from different organizations to describe the tools and systems they are using and explain what things are working well together and where their pain points are. Trevor volunteered to sketch out the questions for these interviews/presentations which are available here .
