Hello All,
It looks like we have responses from DuraCloud and MetaArchive linked
off of the Cloud Presentations wiki page:
http://www.loc.gov/extranet/wiki/osi/ndiip/ndsa/index.php?title=Cloud_Presentations#Solution_Models_and_Environments

It would be great to also collect responses from iRODS (R.Moore?
M.Smorul?) as well as from the members of this group who have other
large-scale storage implementations at their own institutions.
In the meantime, is there any interest in teasing out the details
behind the posted responses or discussing the advantages/concerns of
the solutions seen thus far?

Andrew

I checked the settings and it looks like everyone in the group should be able to create pages. Andrew, if you are still having trouble with this feel free to send me an email off list with the error message or response you are getting and we can sort this out. To keep things moving I created a stub that you can start filling in. http://www.loc.gov/extranet/wiki/osi/ndiip/ndsa/index.php?title=DuraCloud

That will help us in composing a report, but I also think the bulk set of answers to these questions could be an interesting work product in and of itself. In that case we just need to all think a little bit more about the answers to the questions. If we are happy with both sets of questions we can probably start thinking about getting these filled out.

I was in the process of pushing the data dump of responses to the presentation questions from a DuraCloud perspective onto the wiki. Logically, it makes sense to me to have the bloat of responses and comments for each presentation on individual sub-pages of the wiki. Then we can distill the salient points up to the current page as tables, condensed lists, etc. It seems, however, that the ability to create sub-pages has been disabled. If the approach is reasonable, could you help enable that capability?

We can then continue with a concrete dialog/debate on the mailing list over the responses in an attempt to narrow in on practices and recommendations.
