Checking in re: CSVs - have we confirmed that we can go ahead with one CSV as opposed to two CSVs (one per collection)? I just wanted to double-check - if we can, it makes the process of handling search much easier too, as we can render the index and search fields directly from the CSV as per #32 !

I haven't confirmed it yet -- Angela and I set up Git/GitHub Desktop and Ruby for my comp this morning, I'm starting the testing after this meeting ends! I think we should be able to, and agreed, will be much much easier!

Closing because this process works for one csv and we don't necessarily need to combine metadata from multiple collections. Each collection might have different metadata fields, so I think it's probably okay to stick with the normal wax model of separate .csv metadata files for each collection.
