Process changes?

1. The resolution is to encourage ongoing engagement

OCFL Article

1. Andrew W to add text
2. All to add text

Text fixtures

1. Simeon to move repo into OCFL git-org --> Moved to https://github.com/OCFL/ocfl-fixtures, need to change repo name to just fixtures
2. Need to ensure process for additions to fixtures
   • e.g. Mark fixtures as "good", "bad" --> See current explanation in https://github.com/OCFL/ocfl-fixtures/blob/master/README.md, probably should move everything down one level into a /1.0/ directory
