• (BEFORE MEETING IN #dev-sprint) Developer Stand Up - Developers give brief updates on their effort (or their team's effort).

  • Update/see "Current Work" section below based on your status. Please feel free to update prior to meeting.
  • Please highlight any new work (needing reviews/testing), any blockers (for you), and any discussion topics you may have.
• (25 mins) General Discussion Topics
  
  • (10 mins) Establishing a Code Review guide (to train others on code reviews & good coding practices)
    • Making the PR Templates the definitive reference for reviewers (and developers)
      • Backend: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/master/.github/pull_request_template.md#checklist
      • Frontend: https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/blob/master/.github/pull_request_template.md#checklist
    • New Code Testing Guide to document how to write good tests (and therefore how to review for good tests)
  • (15 mins) Asking all developers to record estimated  PR "completion date" (PR deadline) for all beta 3 work in DSpace 7 Release Plan spreadsheet
    • Goal is to better track internal prioritization/resourcing & estimated progress on current beta release.
    • Also looking to potentially re-scope beta3 into what can be done by end of June.  Other tasks will move to beta4, as beta3 has gotten too large.
    • PR deadline should ideally be on a Tuesday (beginning of week).  This allows us to anticipate which weeks which PRs will be done, and attempt to assign code reviewers prior to the Thursday meeting.
  • Tabled Topics (will not be discussed this week, but possible for next week)
    • Finalize / approve the initial list of all authorization features which we should implement for the /api/authz/features REST endpoint.  This list of features should be limited to only features which are required to enable/disable User Interface functionality. (In other words, we can always add more features in the future.  We just need to approve the list necessary for 7.0)
      1. Review current spreadsheet (from Andrea Bollini (4Science) ) : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1182LcD_WqIZRbUGWpLtBw0aOMR9jhbOVB7GZqtTpR9A/edit?usp=sharing 
         1. Art Lowel (Atmire) : I don't see any immediate issues with the current set of features, but I would prefer a consistent naming scheme. I'd use canDoSomething for everything
         2. Tim Donohue added possible renames of these features based on Art's idea (see cell comments in spreadsheet).  I like the "can[DoSomething]" naming scheme as well.
    • Proposal from Art Lowel (Atmire)on enhancing object cache in Angular UI.
• (35 mins) Planning for next week
  
  • Assigning PRs for Review
  • (As necessary) claim tasks for next week from DSpace 7 Release Plan spreadsheet

7.0 Release Goals

These resources define the prioritization and general schedule we are working towards

...

• Available Angular UI Tickets
  
  • Open issues in 7.0beta3 milestone (highest priority)
  • Open issues flagged as "Difficulty: low".  These may be a good starting point for newer developers.
• Available REST API Tickets
  
  • Unassigned tickets scheduled for 7.0beta3 (highest priority)
  • General REST API tickets flagged as "low hanging fruit".  These may be a good starting point for newer developers.
  • General REST API unassigned bug tickets.  Again, might be a good starting point for newer developers.

1. Initial Performance Testing from Chris.  Needs revisiting / retesting prior to 7.0. 
   1. https://cwilper.github.io/dspace-perftest/
   2. These performance tests were run prior to the work on "projections" (to limit the data returned by the REST API).  Therefore, it is likely performance is much improved, but needs verification testing.
2. (REST Contract) Edit Homepage News: https://github.com/DSpace/Rest7Contract/pull/45
   
   1. Delayed. General agreement (in meeting on March 21, 2019) that storing HTML in metadata fields is not really ideal behavior.  Metadata (from a librarian standpoint) tends to be free of format-related markup (as that allows for easier sharing, understanding of metadata.  Currently Community & Collection homepage information is HTML-based and is stored in metadata that is appropriate for a minor subset of information (like the title) but it is better to move large/rich text to bitstreams.  
   2. Proposal here is to consider storing HTML-based markup (for Site, Community & Collection homepages) in Bitstream(s) associated with the object in question.  May allow for more CMS-lite behavior in the future
   3. Timeline for this is uncertain.  Possibly in 7 or 8. May depend on how/whether it can be scoped.

Notes

• We will try the Tuesday PR deadline and see if it is helpful
• Greater focus on time for PR discussion was appreciated
• Agreed to add to DSpace 7 Release Plan spreadsheet the following:
  1. claiming unclaimed Beta 3 tickets (unclaimed could be moved to Beta 4);
  2. adding TUESDAY deadlines for PRs, so reviewers might be pre-assigned before the Thursday meeting
  3. adding estimates where they are missing (less important if there is a PR deadline added)
