WIRED Year 3 progress • IMC Projects that were EDI relevant have been migrated to EDI GitHub repository • Test of GitHub repositories for WG and meeting notes • Questions regarding the best place to store PDFs and searchability • High technological bar to migrate and add files to GitHub repository • Very time consuming to review and migrate documents • In order to use the LTER document archive effectively, it needs attention in terms of tags and document type organization (not insurmountable, but time consuming) • There doesn’t seem to be a solution that isn’t a lot of work; migration to Drupal 7 may be the path of least resistance. • NCO is exploring Constituent Relationship Management (CRM) tools for collaboration that may be useful (??) • Need to assess the needs and desires of IMC membership for acquiring information and resources (annual IMC meeting breakout session)
