[Archivesspace_Users_Group] New version of aspace-import-excel, a plugin to support bulk loading of Archival Objects

[Majewski, Steven Dennis (sdm7g)]

Great news! Thanks. 
I just tried upgrading to 2.2.2 on our test server the other day, and server wouldn’t start until I edited the rubyzip version in the Gemfile. Will upgrade to the current version of the plugin — will make it easier to deploy. 

— Steve.
