Notes

10.0 Release Schedule & 10.0 Release

• No updates, first deadlines don't come until later this year
• Merger discussions are still in progress – no new updates or developments that can inform the 10.0 release

Other topics

• There is a discussion ticket in GitHub around the topic of aggressive bots attacking DSpace sites: https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/issues/4565
  • Please contribute to this discussion so that we can understand better how different DSpace sites are dealing with this problem
• Allan Orth from Google has mentioned that our current rate limiter setting is out of date
  • Anyone is welcome to update this setting by upgrading the rate limiter; if you're interested, please reach out; Tim might create a ticket for this
• There is an endpoint with bad performance: https://github.com/DSpace/RestContract/blob/main/submissiondefinitions.md#single-submission-definition
  • When the list of collections is very large, this endpoint slows things down significantly
  • Paulo has created a PR that removes the endpoint to test whether this improves performance
    • Improvements seem significant; load times went down from ca. 1 minute to ca. 200ms 
  • If anyone wants to help look at this problem or if anyone knows why we embedded this in the submission definition in the first place, please reach out
  • Giuseppe thinks this is connected to switching from one collection to another in the submission form
    • Need to double check if this is the place where it is used
    • Instead of removing the endpoint, could we stop the embed by default and make it optional?
      • First need to see how it behaves with hundreds of collections; better to have the form load quickly and load the collections in a different call?
  • Another option is to just follow the link when the site is loaded – why do we need to have all the definition objects load in the workflow process? This is currently unclear
  • Kim will help take a look at this; Paulo, Giuseppe also added as assignees on the ticket

Upcoming Topics

• Migration to NX
  • First PR that is coming soon is just restructuring things, second PR will be NX migration
    • Once first PR is ready to go, assign to Tim, he can review that quickly; if anyone interested in testing, please let Tim or Giuseppe know; we aim at discussing this next week
    • 2nd PR: 4Science will open two PRs for NX; one standalone application and a different PR with monolithic approach (allows for multiple applications in same project)
      • We can then decide which approaches works better for us
