[Digitalarchivists] Progress

LF,

I agree.  Other Danny's linear scanner would be a better choice.  Couldn't
hurt to rub elbows with AMT a bit while we're there and glean some helpful
hints on their kit scanner; dos and don'ts, trials and tribulations, etc.

I'm not sure what you mean by points one and two.  I would call buying the
kit and building it in the span of an afternoon "advancing" a project, a
project which was conceived and conducted at Noisebridge by Noisebridgers.
Am I missing something?

Side note: how's about a meeting on Monday?

-Danny
