Well, that's my point: it's an abuse of the framework. If we're going to ignore the framework and imagine for ourselves what our charge is, doing our own enumeration, then what's the point of making the code a curation task in the first place? EPerson and Group introduce a new axis (maybe two), orthogonal to content objects. The only containment these all have in common is the Site. And yet I think we'd like to have a similar facility, with an established framework providing user interface and a generator to drive task code that only need deal with a single object, whenever it is called. I think we want to be able to easily drop in new (call them "administrative") tasks implementing a well-defined interface. > I see how adding an eperson id/email/netid on the curation task > command line could be useful.

Hm, I hadn't gotten around to thinking about the user interface. I'm more interested in the rest of the framework. I'm not sure that all of those are DSOs, or should be. (And I think Bundle is evil and should be replaced by internal metadata.) Bitstreams probably should be part of the content enumeration. -- Mark H.
