|
|
||

There was a problem hiding this comment. Alpaca's main role is to invoke microservices in the background. I'm not sure how best to embellish that language, but that's the main point I'd try to convey. There was a problem hiding this comment. Yeah, that makes more sense. making this as well |

There was a problem hiding this comment. I think it would be worth including mention of the new IIIF support, and maybe Openseadragon/Mirador as viewer options? There was a problem hiding this comment. Looking at this I think it's a brainful to jam preservation and discovery together, so will separate out so that IIIF/Openseadragon stuff can be added |
||
| As native Drupal content, Islandora resources can also be integrated with existing Drupal tools like the [Solr Search API](https://www.drupal.org/project/search_api_solr), [Matomo Analytics](https://www.drupal.org/project/matomo), [RDF schema building](https://www.drupal.org/project/rdfui), and much more. | ||

| Islandora 8 comes with a comprehensive [default site configuration](https://github.com/Islandora/islandora_defaults) for Drupal to get you started, and even an [Ansible playbook](https://github.com/Islandora-Devops/islandora-playbook) that will quickly get you up and running so you can try it out. | ||

I don't think we should be saying "creating digital preservation resources", since that might suggest that the process of preservation is set-and-forget. I'd much rather see "creating preservable digital resources". It's hair splitting but I think it's an important distinction.
