Notes
- Discussion Topics
- Tim notes that Heather Greer Klein will soon be joining the effort as a part-time DSpace 7 Product Manager (8 hours per week, until DSpace 7 is released). She'll help with planning tasks, liaison with Marketing, etc.
- She's on vacation today, but hopefully will be able to attend next week's meeting.
- Preview Release Discussion
- Steering discussed yesterday and decided to move forward with Preview Release. It's an important deadline, both for marketing as well as for ensuring we're "on schedule" for OR2019.
- Preview Release new deadline is end of March
- Beta Release in time for OR2019.
- Perform preview release on a separate branch (not master) to allow for code that is still undergoing final review?
- Art: seems ok, but we need to be more conservative than we were before OR2018. Nothing could go on this branch that isn't nearly complete.
- Andrea: Agrees with Art around OR2018 issues. Against this idea overall
- This was discussed in Steering as a "backup plan". End goal is still to try and get everything on "master", but if we are running late, the decision becomes: Do we push back Preview Release again (has risk that we miss Beta by OR2019), or do we cut the release with some "partially reviewed" features/code?
- Consensus: We cannot decide this today. Likely this needs to go to an email vote.
- Not high priority as this is a backup plan, but we do need to have a backup plan if Preview Release deadline of end of March starts to "slip"
- Solr Upgrade Discussion
- When do we merge? The code passes all ITs and is in review stage. It will affect all developers, as they will need to install a separate Solr (Mark W notes that's not hard)
- No user facing improvements though
- Consensus: This is a "nice to have" for Preview Release, but not required. It's third priority behind Submission/Workflow & Configurable Entities. If it misses Preview (or cannot be tested sufficiently before then) we should merge this just after Preview
- Concurrency in DSpace 7 (or 8). What do we want to do when multiple editors are editing the same object?
- Some implementation options on REST API side:
- REST Contract notes on ETags: https://github.com/DSpace/Rest7Contract#etags--conditional-headers
- REST PATCH method also defines a "test" operation: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6902#section-4.6 , however we do not yet support it in the REST API
- We don't have enough information to make a decision here. It sounds more and more like this might need to wait for DSpace 8 (low priority for DSpace 7). However, Atmire will analyze whether there is a "quick fix" or quick solution and report back.
