- Islandora stores it's documentation in Markdown . Might be something we want to consider for Fedora.
- It makes it easier to couple code changes with documentation changes.
- ISLE also does this.
- There are pros/cons to docs in markdown, but it'll be interesting to watch how other projects evolve
Fedora and OCFL:
- There will be support in the spec for extensions (generally speaking) at the ocfl-object level
- Proposal right now is that there'd be a directory (maybe called "extensions") whereby OCFL extensions can define a subdirectory to put stuff in, functioning as a sort of namespace. All content under the "extensions" subdir must be in a subdirectory defined by some extension.
- Peter Winckles started a draft proposal for a mutable head extensions
- Mutable head was brought up at the leaders meeting, holding a vote right now (through tomorrow, Nov 1) for approval.
- Folks seem to be aligning around the mutable head direction
Mutable head impl:
Actions
- Aaron Birkland to look explore notion of OCFL client with database as authoritative metadata source + asynchronous writing of the inventory.json file
- David Wilcox will review the NDSA matrix and pull out the concrete technical requirements that could be considered during the Fedora 6 development.
- Call for comments on https://docs.google.com/document/d/18rSFqqoxixmozZrgPKON59Ojpg5iOu4lsHDNMm23soY/edit# till tuesday
- Clarify in in documentation that multiple simultaneous writes to OCFL are not supported
