FYI: Some recent 0.8-beta design discussions

[peterVG]

Our development roadmap for 2011 is focussed on getting to an 0.8-beta
release by the end of the year. See http://archivematica.org/roadmap

I just wanted to give a heads-up about some related design discussions/
collaborations:

Related to the monitoring and syncing of AIPs and DIPs:
https://github.com/peterVG/restful-bag-server/blob/master/Use%20Cases/Archivematica.rst

This use case is submitted as part of a collaboration led by Educopia
and LoC developers:
https://github.com/acdha/restful-bag-server/blob/master/RESTful%20Bag%20Store.rst

Related to the monitoring and syncing of file format policies with an
external registry:

In addition to the Open Planets Foundation's registry, we're also
keeping a close eye on the UDFR work slated to get started this year.

Cheers,
