Developers Meeting on Weds, January 9, 2013
Agenda
Regular Items
JIRA Reviews – starting with issue DS-1082- Quick Notice: João has started some work on a DAO Implementation for DSpace (See DS-1438 and Pull #161)
- I'd encourage all of us to take some time to review the work thus far & add comments/feedback. I'd like to discuss this in a future meeting (either Jan 16 or 23)
Discussion Topics
- New JIRA workflow now in place : JIRA Workflow Improvements
- Thoughts on how we tackle the backlog of "Received" issues that need re-categorization? Should we dig in during meetings, or perhaps schedule a "JIRA Backlog Bash" (devote a meeting towards just doing quick categorization into "more info needed", "volunteer needed", "accepted" or "closed").
- Was noted (by helix84) that in some cases we have tickets that "Need discussion" before they can be categorized properly. They may be either vague ideas or something that really needs approval. How should we categorize these? Some options:
- Leave as "Received" until we have time to discuss them.
- Or, move to "More Info needed" and perhaps tag/label them as "discussion needed". Then we either make time to revisit them ourselves or, if a less technical ticket, we can ask DCAT to give some feedback.
- Any 3.0 or 3.1 updates we need to touch on?
- Other topics?
Additional Ongoing Topics
- 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:
