Notes

Next developers meeting

Review of ongoing discussion topics

9.0 development priorities
- There are currently no news from the Steering Group regarding 9.0 development prioritization
- A subgroup of Steering (9.0 Planning Group) is discussing recommendations and will pass these on to Steering at the end of this week
- As a reminder, Steering tends to set general development priorities and does not provide a list of specific features (compare the Priority List for 8.0)
Optimization of workflow around code reviews and pull request
- A previous discussion about this resulted in the creation of this wiki page: Incentivizing Code Reviews and PR Testing
  - Reviewed some of the main ways to speed up workflow listed on this page (trading pull requests, Pull preview as a service, GitPod)
  - All developers are encouraged to review this page; if anyone has additional ideas, please add them to the page or send them to Tim
  - If anyone has tried suggestions listed on this page, please share your notes as to your experience with the suggested solution
High CPU with DSpace 7 SSR
- Looking for more volunteers to tackle this issue
Using both public/private REST API URLs for better performance
- Has been assigned to 4Science
- Currently no updates on this ticket
Simplifying the installation process
- This is a larger task which will likely require several smaller fixes
- Smaller, step-by-step improvements are welcome to move this along
