1. Extract Sipity from Hyrax to an engine or microservice. ~1.5 days (justin)
2. Bug fixes for v2.1.0 release (Lynette Rayle)
3. Core components working group - prioritize work, populate backlogs, kick off work for phase 2 of the WG (bess)
4. Optimization of nested collection indexing.  (LaRita Robinson) minimally address issue: https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/issues/2798 which may require changes in ActiveFedora (help wanted)
5. Explore dry-transaction (https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/tree/dry-transaction) as a potential replacement for the actor stack http://dry-rb.org/gems/dry-transaction/ (tamsin woo)
6. How do we onboard new developers to the community?  What could be covered quickly - e.g. in 4 days or so at Samvera Camp?  What things need more time and mentoring from others in the community? (Mark Bussey)
