Develop framing around turn-key options

[kestlund]

HyBox, Sufia, Avalon, etc. What is needed?

We need a better resource for new adopters asking "which hydra head should I use?"

Possible resources could be:

• a feature comparison matrix such as the one here: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/hydra/Feature+Inventory+Grid
• a deployment guide - or at least a consolidated document pointing to hydra-heads that have canned deployment scripts or VMs
• A set of clarifying questions to help adopters think about their needs - e.g.:
  • Is your use focused on self deposit or administrative management
  • What type of content do you need to manage (images, documents, media, etc.) and how much of each?
  • How big is your collection, how rabidly is it growing?
  • etc.
• how to find technical training
• how to find manager oriented training

Much of this information exists in bits and pieces, but my be difficult for new adopters to easily find.

I think the feature inventory grid is overwhelming. It wouldn't be the first thing I'd want to point an adopter at.

PS. @mark-dce I think you typo'ed "rabidly", but it kinda works.

[mark-dce]

Agreed - the feature matrix is definitely not new-adopter friendly at this point.

@mark-dce Is this still a to-do?
