• 1.8.0 Wiki Documentation "release"
  • Should we move 1.8.0 docs to the existing "DSDOC" space, or create a new space called "DSDOC18"?
    • Fedora has been moving to the latter approach (separate Docs space per version) – see:
      • Fedora 3.5 Docs in "FEDORA35" space
      • Fedora 3.4 Docs in "FEDORA34" space
  • There are pros/cons to each approach:
    • Having a generic DSDOC space: One place to always link to for latest docs, but that content is always changing & old links may "break" if a page changes names between version, etc.
    • Having a version specific area (e.g. DSDOC18): The latest docs are not always in the same place. But, we can then link easier to older versions on docs on Wiki. Old spaces could become "read-only" eventually, but could still be there for reference as needed. This route is slightly easier to manage, as you are never copying/replacing existing content in a space
    The main question is whether we want a generic place you can always go for latest docs, or just provide more interlinking & notices at the top of Documentation, similar to Fedora
    • .

• We still need more eyes on Documentation (especially Upgrade & Installation docs)
  • Documentation that is still missing:
    • Various New Curation Tasks (Link Checker, MS Translator, etc) (Kim Shepherd?)

• Improving our release processes so they rely less on Tim as backup support ("growing our team members"). Possible ideas include having a "Release Coordination Team" (2-3 committers), and potentially also having an "apprentice" role on that others can learn more about the entire process.
• Discussions on ways to better Aggregate & "Clean" Solr Statistics (keeping everything makes the indexes way too large & hinders performance). See this dspace-tech email thread: http://www.mail-archive.com/dspace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net/msg15373.html^{Image Removed}
