Get Involved & Stay Updated
We invite you to share your questions, use cases, and ideas in the 📧 Archipelago Google Groups forum and join us on the 🍓Archipelago Commons Slack Channel.🌟
Another great way to interact with us is to visit, subscribe to, and participate in our various active 🤓 GitHub repositories, where you can always find us writing code and constantly improving Archipelago. The following repositories are dedicated to covering one part of Archipelago's functionality:
- Archipelago Deployment (for local deployments via Docker)
- Archipelago Deployment Live (Cloud / Local production ready Archipelago Deployment using Docker / Kubernetes)
- Strawberryfield (Metadata processing, persistence, mangling + smashing and event services)
- Format Strawberryfield (Showing your (meta)data and media to the world)
- Webform Strawberryfield (Adding data to your Archipelago using customizable webforms)
- Archipelago Multi-Importer (module for batch/bulk/mass ingests/updates/removals of Archipelago digital objects and collections)
- Strawberry Runners (provides a set of post processing capabilities)
Archipelago welcomes and appreciates any type of contribution, from use cases and needs, questions, documentation, devops and configuration and -- of course -- code, fixes, or new features. To make the process less painful, we recommend you first to read our documentation and deploy a local instance. After that please follow this set of guidelines to help you get started.
Archipelago Working Group
In the Spring of 2022, METRO supported the creation of a select group of both early adopters and longtime members of the Archipelago community to provide a dedicated space for Archipelago power users to build upon their demonstrated use-explorations, contribute further to the platform and have a direct influence on roadmap code, direction, and timeline. This group will also work on documentation needs, use cases and outreach (including public showcases, trainings/workshops, and other events).
