Follow up on TODOs
- DGOC mtgs open to the public - update and notification out to the mailing list
- DSpace registry format updates
- format changes to instructions - make form links bold/different color or right hand link to forms
- clean up on search filters and registration forms - caps, descriptions vague/abrev don't make sense, form and browse need to be the same
- upcoming version 2 of registry: add svc provider field to dashboard and add new to field registry for repository case study / presentation links
Review JIRA new feature requests
- discuss process
- how to review? before or during mtg (cmtrs allow everyone 1 min to read the JIRA issue and notes)
- how to categorize? establish standards for follow up
- need more information
- need community discussion or vote for relevancy
- need community discussion / project group to define requirements
- developer centric/technical/backend feature request, refer to committer group for comment and follow up
- make action plan for each request
- test out a review one item from the list: (http://jira.dspace.org/jira/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?reset=true&&type=2&status=1&status=3&status=4&sorter/field=issuekey&sorter/order=DESC)
- DGOC to f/u on items: get more detail, encourage discussion on list, encourage voting
- dealing with dev centric features vs. user features - find another category for dev centric or describe in lay terms
- will begin in Sep 7 DGOC mtg: go through JIRA new feature items for 1.7, add any comments, have discussions on list, encourage voting
- every subsequent mtg go through 5-7 items to get through backlog, then stay current
- # registered users in JIRA - see if it goes up, # votes vs. # of registered users (set a baseline)
- tombostoning discussion: http://www.duraspace.org/irclogs/index.php?date=2010-09-01decide reasonable number and approach to get through backlog
