And so I did. Thanks, Robert, for the suggestion. I hope the Evergreen project proposal is accepted.

I am not sure how individuals are added to each project though (draft, lottery, etc...). Also note that there is the possibility that our project is not selected but individuals are accepted. I am not sure about the odds of a proposal being accepted or how many proposals have been submitted.

As a relatively new person to Evergreen, I think many of the questions I've had to answer to get going are still fresh in my mind. I've also been working with libraries interested in Evergreen and talking to our current libraries, so I know some of their perspectives and concerns. Also, I have some sysadmin documentation written - at this point for our local needs, but I am planning to submit it to the community and perhaps it could be of some use for this project as well.

It seems we get quite a few questions from people about how to get started with implementing Evergreen, or if Evergreen is right for them in the fist place. It would be great to be able to provide them with a concise guide to help them answer these questions and plan for a migration to Evergreen with a few walk-throughs of the basic steps to installation and configuration to help get them off the ground.

But if he or she could get started more easily, would quickly learn that Evergreen is a very viable alternative for their library and will eventually take the ball and run with it at their organization.  Meaning they will set up a demo for their libraries to show them what can be done with Evergreen and start talking to them about options for migrating off their system to Evergreen (going it along, contracting with someone, etc).
