Module/Plugin Architecture
We discussed and agreed to move toward using Spring Dynamic Modules (OSGi) for Fedora's future module plugin framework. Here are the notes from the board: 
Review of New Website
11:00-11:30 - Documentation + Website discussion
- In general, how to deal with multiple projects (hosting for things like Islandora, etc)
- /documentation (javadocs, other resources?)
- Drawing the line between what docs are in wiki and what are directly under fedora-commons.org
- What should website accomplish
11:30 - 12:00 - Website Review with Carissa and Rick
1-3 - Fedora 3.2 Planning
If time:
Rick and Carissa gave us an overview of the latest FC website design. The group agreed that we'd like the content area on the front page to be less text-heavy and to have a general layout like this:
| Wiki Markup |
|---|
\[short blurb on what Fedora is, sans big words\] |
| Wiki Markup |
|---|
\[img1\] \[img2\] \[img3\] \[img4\] |
..where img1..4 are icons pointing to the main areas of interest for visitors to our site.
WebDAV
Eddie reported that Hull (Chris Awre) and King's College are currently considering WebDAV and/or JSR170 type interfaces to Fedora.
ChrisW reported that he has been working on a fairly simple WebDAV library for DuraSpace (sans versioning, extensible properties, etc), with an eye toward possible use of it in Fedora in the future, to facilitate a "simple file ingest". Depending on what Hull and King's College are planning for their project, this may represent a useful starting point. If they're after more advanced features such as versioning, extensible properties, etc, it may be best to start with something like Jackrabbit's jcr-webdav impl.
Fedora 3.2 Planning
We are still planning on releasing on May 5th. Code freeze is April 28th.
We reviewed the latest outstanding tracker items for 3.2 and set "Blocker" status for all those we felt should hold up the release if not ready.WebDAV - Hull and King's College
