2023-01-19 Metadata Management Meeting notes

Until now, we did not have reference systems for Morning Glory and Nolana, apart from the bug fest environments. Good news from Mike Gorrell (Index Data):

Index Data will commit to building a reference environment for each flower release going forward. We’ll go back and do one for Morning Glory and Nolana - we will try to get them done by the end of January.
