10 Possible transition concerns and issues.Do they matter and are they issues? Branding and good will in music community Music specific service vs generic Subject vs format zone searching Trove Google search plus facets, vs MS simple/advanced search. More navigation in Trove. Topic based research = great results vs more complex for finding specific items Richer repository = more results = more complex Google exposure; international content; additional targets Web 2.0 and user engagement Methods of data contribution Enhancing music experience
Discussion On balance are the 10 points issues or not? If yes why, and how much do they matter? Are there other issues, concerns you have? Is there any feature in MA not in Trove that you really would like to retain? Is there any feature not in either service that you would really like to have?
