Developers Meeting on Weds, September 5, 2012
Agenda
Regular Items
- JIRA Reviews – starting with issue DS-1082
- First 15 minutes: Forgoing the normal JIRA review for our first DCAT Cross-Discussion
- DCAT is wondering if there's any way they can help / support 3.0 in coming weeks
Discussion Topics
- 3.0 Release Schedule & Discussions
- Are we still on for Feature Freeze on Fri?
- 3.0 Tasks List: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/DSpace+3.0+Tasks
- Any last features to be committed / voted in?
- Outstanding questions:
- Do we want to pull LNI out of the "main codebase" and release as a separate 'dspace-lni' module?
- Should Discovery be enabled by default? The question posted to dspace-devel had some good discussion, but no consensus yet.
- 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 future. 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:
