Developers Meeting on Weds, April 27, 2011

Agenda

• First 20+ minutes: JIRA Catch-Up – starting with issue DS-781
  • We will continue "Quick Review" format (2 minutes per issue, with extensions only as necessary), as we need to try to review JIRA issues more quickly. (More details on "Quick Review" format at JIRA Cleanup Sessions)
  • Search for all Unresolved Issues (since DS-781)

...

• Topics which are still on the "back burner" (which need someone to lead a "Special Topic" meeting around them)
  • Do we want to schedule a meeting to go over proposed Modularization / Refactoring work in near future?
    • Restructure Trunk Projects
    • Refactoring the DSpace Domain Model
    • Others listed under Development Proposals
  • Discuss improving how DSpace handles Metadata (From past meetings discussions, this seems popular). Several ideas mentioned recently:
    • Updating to current DCMI standards: DS-805
    • Creating a new "dspace" internal usage schema (for administrative, or non-DC metadata)? Formalize the "dc" schema to be strictly valid QDC/DC?
    • Metadata on all DSpace objects (not just Items)
  • Discuss forming a "Documentation Management Team"? Or reworking our procedures for managing/reviewing/approving Docs on the Wiki.
    • UPDATE: Jeff Trimble will lead a discussion on this in April or May. Still working on date.
  • More discussion of Proposed RoadMap to 2.0 before OR11
    • In meantime, feel free to forward thoughts on to Tim or everyone (via dspace-devel or dspace-commit).
