The ISLE project is an attempt to apply contemporary deployment and
maintenance solutions to the large Islandora digital repository stack.
After the initial round of vendor-driven prototyping, a volunteer community
took over ISLE maintenance and kicked off a second round of development and
documentation. This poster session explores how the community worked to
reconcile distributed volunteer work among team members (primarily
developers and librarians in academic institutions) with a project
structure initially created in a full-time software development environment.
