New Ideas

• JB has two short paper ideas:
• 2-3 page plain language doc that explain current challenges in web archiving to non-technical / general public
• Digital Disaster Planning: lots of disaster planning docs for LAMs but none digital specific; can be guidance doc or instructions for holding a mock digital disaster or some other form of. Disaster needn't be loss of data, but can be stuff going offline, etc.
• Session ideas for preservation metadata and building bridges with that community and digital preservation; better knowledge around when/how peeps using preservation metadata
