Note/suggestion: Possibly reverse the sentences on community and technology to put the community first. Highlight combination of widely used and community-specific components (making Samvera more than the sum of its parts). Thorny query - how much do we emphasise Fedora in this, given the development of Valkyrie. We have to mention it, but we also now need to highlight the flexibility - maybe mention the intention of technology sustainability through the ability to switch out components?

Note - include geo-referenced data? I know there has been activity on this, but I'm not aware of an active service using it currently.
Note -maybe give a link to the examples on the website too so people can go and see for themselves how Samvera is being used and what it looks like?
- What is Samvera going to cost us?

Note - I take your point, but wonder if we need to assume that those accessing this information might not be in 'our' community, hence there is value in the approach of stating the obvious. To that end, see suggestion below.
- Content can be stored and/or presented through alternative systems and interfaces, but without the organisation that a repository provides the content will lose its context and value over time and require additional work to maintain it, increasing the total cost of managing the content. Many systems offer the ability to deposit, manage, deliver or preserve content, but only repositories like Samvera look to provide all of these in a single package.
