Discussion Topics
- DSpace 4.0 Status & Testathon progress
- We already have one reported bug because of confusion about the "index" scripts no longer working "out-of-the-box" in 4.0:
- What to do about the "./dspace index" scripts? Do we point them at Discovery now (the new default)? Do we leave them pointing at Lucene?- https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/379 : Would this qualify as a 4.0 "bug fix" for issue? This is another request from Google to improve indexing in Google Scholar.
- - Do we want to port to JSPUI?
- Other specific tickets to follow up on? Issues? Questions?
- DSpace 4.0 Tasks
- Search Interfaces (possibly standardizing on Discovery as the interface, with multiple providers)
- In DSpace 4.0, Discovery is enabled by default
- What do we want to do about plain-Lucene support?
- Option 1: Deprecate it in 4.0, and remove entirely in 5.0
- Option 2: Rewrite it so that it can be another provider behind Discovery (alongside Solr and possibly ES)
- For 5.0, we could also tentatively plan to release a Discovery on Elastic Search option
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)
- Related: Proposal to Update DC Registry and Add DCTERMS Registry Latest page from DCAT with the summary & goals
- AuthN & AuthZ issues, including: DS-1566 and developer meeting on May 2, 2012
- Other DSpace projects receiving mention recently
- "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)
- Other Development Proposals
- Larger DSpace projects which seem to have a lot of recent support:
