Notes:

Survey results
- 2/3 users, 1/3 developers or other technical folks
- Mostly Islandora 7, but more Islandora 8 than we knew about out in the world
- Documentation ranks very high (multiple top ten responses)
- Accessibility ranks well, but will need a concerted effort to make sure improvements actually happen
- IR specific highly rated results:
  - Embargoes
  - Google Scholar indexing
- Looking for “stakeholders” for planning a sprint to work on IR features
  - Janice will run this up the flagpole
  - Chris M may be able to as well
- Question: What is already being developed by others?
  - DGI’s IR solution, for instance
    - A smoother distribution of Islandora, targeted at IR needs
    - We still need to work out what can come over, but the will is there
    - They are using and contributing to Bryan’s Embargoes module
  - Question: Can’t run Ubuntu on prod, where to get help?
    - Slack! Bug Danny. This also lures in others to help.
