- JIRA Catch-Up (for first 20 mins or so of meeting) – starting with issue DS-632
- DSpace 1.7 Features/Updates
- General Updates from everyone
- Unclaimed 1.7 Issues/Potential Features in JIRA
- Documentation on Wiki discussions – any followup comments/suggestions?
- Suggestions so far from recent dspace-devel email thread:
- DSpace Documentation Area is where all Doc changes will officially take place (starting with 1.7.0 release).
- When we cut a new release, we will export an HTML & PDF "static" copy of documentation as the 'official release docs'
- Before the next Major release (1.8.0), we may archive a read-only version of the Wiki Documentation to a new space (named "DSDOC1.7" or similar). This would be completely read-only (even to committers) and would only exist just in case a serious issue was found in the 1.7.x docs and we needed to re-generate HTML or PDF versions at a later time. Eventually this archived area would be deleted once it was no longer necessary.
- Jeff Trimble will also be working on some other best-practices & general policies for our new wiki docs
- Suggestions so far from recent dspace-devel email thread:
- Time permitting, we could also discuss recent Memory Leak/Performance threads
...
- JIRA Review – ended with DS-637
- 1.7 Updates
- Feature freeze in 2 weeks (Oct 22), RC1 two weeks later (Nov 5)
- DSUG 2010 on Nov 10, just after SPARC conference. Peter Dietz will be presenting on DSpace 1.7.0
- Some discussion of XMLUI Theme issues (around structural.xsl, and how daunting it can be for new XMLUI users). This is in regards to a recent dspace-tech thread
- More general updates
- General approval for how we propose to manage Documentation on Wiki. Process will be as follows:
- DSpace Documentation Area is where all Doc changes will officially take place (starting with 1.7.0 release).
- When we cut a new release, we will export an HTML & PDF "static" copy of documentation as the 'official release docs'
- Before the next Major release (1.8.0), we will archive a read-only version of the Wiki Documentation to a new space (named "DSDOC1.7" or similar). This would be completely read-only (even to committers) and would only exist just in case a serious issue was found in the 1.7.x docs and we needed to re-generate HTML or PDF versions at a later time. Eventually this archived area would be deleted once it was no longer necessary.
- Although this copy will be read-only, we will enable the ability to add Comments to pages (that way people can still report issues in these old docs as necessary
- Suggested that we also should add an "Errata" section to our primary DSpace Documentation Area, to document any known issues to old documentation.
- JIRA migration for DSpace is under slight delay. Unfortunately a little more complex than initially thought to merge two JIRA systems (along with all their users/groups). Tim will be working with Chris Wilper to thoroughly test this before we go forward. Hope is to have ready sometime next week (if possible).
