*Islandora Google Group[https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/islandora]* series of cookbooks with Chef for one-click installation of Islandora[https://github.com/LibraryChef/islandora]** Could use Vagrant and virtual box* New release of Islandora about to come out - expected soon

What's the learning curve with Drupal - easier/harder than Hydra?
* Drupal 7 is easier to learn than Drupal 6
* Recommend the Using Drupal / O'Reilly Book [http://www.worldcat.org/title/using-drupal/oclc/233931612]
** Useful to understand theming / design
* Drupal may be more widely-held skill set than Ruby on Rails (in which Hydra is based)
Setup difficulty?
* Documentation for setting up Solr / Gsearch - some confusion between v. 6 & 7documentation
* Would be better for things to be more grouped together
