Follow-up
- WebFeat: Rick's Gateway Solution!
- Rick has developed a way to create a single index for all Luna collections which can then be searched by Webfeat. This should signficantly speed up the search process, as instead of hitting nine separate databases, Webfeat need only hit one.

- Gale will document (on VRWG wiki) scanning requirements should we choose to outsource derivative processing to Luna (avoiding problems encountered with KVRF collection).
