Shawn Nicholson was having trouble posting his questions for our upcoming talk and discussion with Peter Van Garden Archivmatica and it's approach to open source software for digital preservation. So I offered to pass it on to the list. 

Here are his questions, What questions would you add? or refinements to these would you suggest? 

".Will version 1.0 be another feature release, or will it signify a beta commitment? What does your answer mean for developers building tools to work with Archivematica?
. What are 2 or 3 things that need to happen to broaden interoperability with major preservation softwares (e.g. FedoraCommons, ContentDM, Digital Commons)?
.What can you say about the rumored "workflow customization gui"?  Are there implications for institution-specific workflows and policies?
.What performance tests does the Archivematica team run?  Can you share anything about the specific metrics or performance goals?"

Subject: NDSA: Qs for Archivematica

Dear Trevor,

I'm not certain if my September 27 post to the list serv ever actually appeared.  I've appended it so that you may send to the list if necessary.

Regards,
Shawn

Disappointingly, I will not be able to attend the October ConCall with Peter VG.   As I indicated I do have a few Qs to offer for your consideration, please see appended.

Regards,
shawn
