• Other ideas for upcoming "Special Topics" Meetings
  • Discuss improving how DSpace handles Metadata (From past meetings discussions, this seems popular). Several ideas mentioned recently:
    • Updating to current DCMI standards: DS-805
    • Creating a new "dspace" internal usage schema (for administrative, or non-DC metadata)? Formalize the "dc" schema to be strictly valid QDC/DC?
    • Metadata on all DSpace objects (not just Items)
  • Discuss forming a "Documentation Management Team"? Or reworking our procedures for managing/reviewing/approving Docs on the Wiki.

Meeting Notes

• JIRA Review, ended with DS-676
• Discussion of Proposal for a New "Feature Request" Review Process / Collaboration with DCAT
  • Most in attendance seemed to be generally in favor of this proposal
  • Suggestions of finding ways for DCAT to help "pool resources" (how is up for discussion)
  • See the full transcript below for details of discussion.
• Discussion of Version Numbering for DSpace.
  • Talked about the two initial proposals for changing numbering (see above: "dropping the "1.", and a YY.MM numbering scheme)
  • Overall, there was no definitive majority in favor of any new numbering scheme. So, by default, we will continue to call the next version "1.8". If in the future we change our minds (and reach a majority), we can always announce a numbering change.
  • Thoughts on Version Numbering wiki page created, where individuals can add their proposals for why we may or may not want to change our version numbering. Anyone is welcome to add suggestions there. This may eventually be posted to mailing lists for more comments / ongoing discussion.
• Next Week (Feb 9) - Special Topics Meeting on git / DCVS, led by Peter Dietz
