Developers Meeting on Weds, August 1, 2012
Agenda
Regular Items
- JIRA Reviews – starting with issue DS-1082
- Instead of normal JIRA Review, today we'll review a few new 3.0 JIRA Submissions that have patches attached:
- DS-1127 - Submission improvements: document type-based submission (XMLUI only)
- DS-1223: Display frequencies of items in single browsing for selected indices (JSPUI only)
- DS-1224: Export items in various bibliographic formats (as RIS, BibTeX, EndNote, IEEE, ...) (JSPUI only)
- DS-1225: Show display values for controlled vocabularies in Item Page (JSPUI only)
- DS-1226: Batch import from basic bibliographic formats (Endnote, BibTex, RIS, TSV, CSV) (JSPUI only)
- DS-1227: Tag cloud for any browse index in the home page of DSpace (JSPUI only)
- DS-1228: Concatenate values of multi-value fields in item display (JSPUI only)
Discussion Topics
- 3.0 Release - Reviewing larger features & planning the release?
- Advanced Embargo Pull Request: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/43
- Other larger features listed as 3.0 tentative (esp. OAI 2.0, @mire features, CILEA features
- Are their particular features we want to schedule a special topic meeting around?
- Should we be finding ways to split up review of all the existing features on the 3.0 Release notes page (or "rank" which ones need many eyes versus just a few)?
- Should we have someone(s) do a "quick scan" for open JIRA tickets with patches attached so that we can perhaps apply/review them for 3.0? (These could be "quick wins" as well)
- 3.0 Questions (from helix84):
- DS-531: ETD-MS schema out of the box. Again, the larger problem is that our metadata schema should be brought up-to-date with DCMI, but maybe we could tackle this smaller issue of ETDs. I suggest we add a "thesis" schema with 5 fields mentioned in this table to support ETD-MS out-of-the-box. ~~helix84
- Need to review Guidelines for Committing based on GitHub/Git?
- Thoughts on how we rework these polices to our new GitHub development environment (with Pull Request policies, etc.)?
- Other topics?
Additional Ongoing Topics
- How can we "catch up" with JIRA Backlog?
- Do we need to "split up" the tickets & do quick reviews on our own? Or perhaps just split up tickets & do a very quick ranking & schedule ones with patches for 3.0?
- Perhaps we schedule a "JIRA Backlog Bash" event (via IRC or similar) where we work together to decrease the backlog over a few days or a week (think of this like a "Test-a-thon" but instead we'd be working to just clear out the backlog as best we can).
- 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)
- AuthN & AuthZ issues, including: DS-994, DS-1006, DS-1007, DS-1088, and developer meeting on May 2, 2012
- 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:
