  • What is the scope of the MARCeditor app that @Cult will be building?
    • One specific question related to this: will the work include loaders and mapping tables that allow you to load an external MARC file, act on it (with a template or default edits) and then have that file do other things besides create MARC records (e.g. create holdings or items automatically)?
    • Will the work include CRUD for authority records?
  • What will the development process look like?  Is the thinking that there will be an alpha version; beta version; etc.  & what is the projected timeline?  How can the MM SIG be involved in the development process?
  • The  demo of WeCat showed a lot of functionality (deep indexing, authority linking, linked data referencing) - is the plan to have all of that functionality available in the FOLIO MARC editor?  Or some portion of that functionality?
  • What are the implications for the MARC storage infrastructure for access to MARC source data via other apps?
  • What kind of documentation is available/planned?
  • How will @Cult's work relate to the instance/holdings/item prototype work that Filip has shown? Once you find a record in inventory and want to edit it, will it stay in the general screen structure that Filip has shown or will it change to something else?
