Developers Meeting on Weds, April 18, 2012
Agenda
Regular Items
- JIRA Catch-Up – starting with issue DS-986
Reminder: The (Face-to-Face) DSpace Developers Meeting at OR12 in Edinburgh will more than likely be on Monday, July 9.
Discussion Topics
- Quick FYI : Tim will be out-of-office next week (April 25) at a DuraSpace All-Staff Meeting. Volunteer to lead meeting on April 25?
- 3.0 Release Planning
- Features to add to the "possible features" list? Other topics to discuss around 3.0?
- Wondering if we want to schedule a "Special Topic" meeting (perhaps even via a Skype voice call) to begin to brainstorm/plan 3.0 features?
- Current Release Team: Hardy P, Sands F, Kim S, Robin T
- GitHub Migration
- Tim updated DSpace + NetBeans IDE instructions for Git/GitHub. We could use similar updates for IDEA and Eclipse (any volunteers?)
- Any thoughts on DSpace + Git Development Model thread on dspace-devel?
- Any "best practices" we'd like to start with and add to: Development with Git
- Other topics?
Additional Ongoing Topics
- Brainstorming Features/Changes for 3.0. Can we work towards development teams around any of these projects?
- Larger DSpace projects which seem to have a lot of recent support:
- Moving towards a Common "Business Logic" / Business Services API. (I.e. avoiding duplication of business logic in all UIs)
- Metadata For All (i.e. metadata on all objects), SubTopic: Getting us up-to-date how we use Dublin Core / DCMI. (Support from DCAT)
- Other DSpace projects receiving mention recently
- Migrate Search and Browse to DSpace Discovery
- "Change which UIs come out-of-the-box" (and which are optionally installed later)
- Move configurations to DB or similar (so they can be managed/edited from Admin UI)
- Context Guided Ingest (or Item Type based submissions)
- Other Development Proposals
- Larger DSpace projects which seem to have a lot of recent support:
