Developers Meeting on Weds, September 7, 2011
Agenda
- Discussion: Final Preparation/Updates for 1.8.0 RC1 & Testathon (next week)
- DSpace Release 1.8.0 Notes
- 1.8.0 RC1 will be released TOMORROW (THURS, SEPT 8)
- Some Outstanding Issues:
Areas we can use help in coming weeks
- Updating 1.8.0 Documentation
- Updating Install / Upgrade instructions
- Updating Configuration section (especially after all the configs were moved to config/modules)
- Reviewing JIRA tickets (especially bug fixes) which are marked for 1.8.0 & have attachments (patches)
- Time Permitting, we can always do a JIRA Catch-Up – starting with issue DS-886
Topics in the Waiting...
- Topics which are still on the "back burner" (which need someone to lead a "Special Topic" meeting around them)
- Do we want to schedule a meeting to go over proposed Modularization / Refactoring work in near future?
- Restructure Trunk Projects
- Refactoring the DSpace Domain Model
- Others listed under Development Proposals
- Discuss improving how DSpace handles Metadata. Several ideas mentioned recently:
- Updating to current DCMI standards: DS-805
- Creating a new "dspace" internal usage schema (for administrative, or non-DC metadata)? Formalize the "dc" schema to be strictly valid QDC/DC?
- Metadata on all DSpace objects (not just Items)
- Per discussion at OR11, DCAT is going to make recommendations on Metadata Schemas that DSpace should support.
- Discuss forming a "Documentation Management Team"? Or reworking our procedures for managing/reviewing/approving Docs on the Wiki.
- More discussion of Proposed RoadMap to 2.0
- In meantime, feel free to forward thoughts on to Tim or everyone (via dspace-devel or dspace-commit).
- Do we want to schedule a meeting to go over proposed Modularization / Refactoring work in near future?
