Re: Cataloging

An orientation page should not be too difficult to create, especially if we 
know the target audience (librarians, or other specialists in organization). 
We have written a very helpful FAQ page for Wikipedians who migrate to our 
project, and I see no reason why we could not have another specialized FAQ 
page for other migrating volunteers.

What kinds of people are you looking to bring in? Where are you going to 
look, and who are you going to talk to? What can I do to help?
