[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] DIG hack-a-way ideas for 2013 (take 2)

[Ruth Frasur]

I like the idea of cluster groups if there are enough participants.  I also
would be open to using Google-anything for this.  While I'd love to travel
to Boston, I'm pretty sure my board and my budget would say otherwise.
Also, the idea of having an introduction at the beginning is great.  For
some, I think muscling through and figuring things out would work, but it'd
be time consuming w/ varied results.  If we can all start at a common
point, I think the quality of work will be more consistent.  At this point,
I'm open to just about anything in November or December (with a few
exceptions not worth mentioning at this point).
