Minutes
1. Questions/comments/additions to news and events
2. KnowledgeBase Preview
-Background:
--community feedback that documentation needs to be easier to understand, more examples/showing, more accessible language, make entry level experience easier
--also wanted a logical place to put many useful community resources that didn't belong in the official docs
--informal mtg at OR11 with interested 'advisors'
-Strategy:
--patterned after the Ruby on Rail's RailGuides - framework for including text-based guide, screencasts, presentation slides, webinar recordings
--material to be collaboratively developed by user community, developers, service providers, committers and the DuraSpace organization
-Goals
--NOT to replace/duplicate official docs - a supplemental resource including dynamic content delivered through various methods (text, screencasts, etc) using lots of examples/visuals
--make users immediately productive with wither DSpace of Fedora - help them understand how to set up and run a repository
--framework to encourage collaboration in bite sized chunks
-Framework overview
-separate wiki 'space' for DSpace, Fedora and umbrella - ability to easily jump between
-how to contribute - roles (content contributor and content moderator) laid out
-draft table of contents - topics to be covered - contributors not be limited by initial draft
-sample content developed
-What's next?
--feedback from interested advisors - now
--soft launch to the community to solicit contributors/moderators - mid-Dec
--more publicity/activity in Jan/Feb
Questions/Feedback:
-other ed materials on wiki - how to treat? references from other parts of the wiki going to the KB for updated material
-looks easy to contribute
-Flash work arounds for iPads?
3. Metadata Support Improvements
-Elin mentioned some questions about DC standards - Bram pointed to an analysis he did here: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/cmtygp/NewDublinCore
-Bram and Elin will post edits on community message by Fri: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/cmtygp/Metadata+Support+Survey+Results+Community+Message
4. Old JIRA issue update - Discuss 560 & 456 and any updates to others
- DS587 tombstone (Sarah):discussion forum,JIRA
- status as of last mtg:
- some disagreement on tombstone reasons, what metadata would be displayed - discussion came up too late (Jose's version vs. Richard's)
- still trying to get XMLUI tombstone reason for withdrawn item in to 1.8
- status as of last mtg:
- DS638 virus checking/check file format (Elin):discussion forum,JIRA
- virus checking is in 1.8, file format checking is written and tested, but did not make it into 1.8
- status as of last mtg:
- dependent on curation task work that MIT, not quite done, trying to follow same format for virus checking
- can do file format checking - but NOT at submission
- Robin to create a separate JIRA issue for file format checking at submission-->DS-1093
- DS164 deposit interface for modifying input forms.xml (Jim): discussion forum, JIRA https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-164
- GSoC project - do away with item-submission.xml and input-forms.xml and instead create an Admin UI that allows repo managers reorganize the submission UI
- GSoC student wants to continue work on project
- sample screenshot wiki page
- status as of last mtg:
- some muddling w/an adjacent GSoC project - Jim to resurrect original request and propose next steps
- Per Robin - suggest break this issue into smaller tasks, starting with (It may be that there are already existing issues for some #2 looks to be addressed by DS-464)
- 1. A screen or screens to allow the administrator to edit the format of the metadata collection screens
- 2. The ability to select the type of an item and collect appropriate metadata accordingly
- GSoC project - do away with item-submission.xml and input-forms.xml and instead create an Admin UI that allows repo managers reorganize the submission UI
- DS-560 XMLUI News in config dir (Bram): discussion forum, JIRA
- XMLUI interface is not as useful as JSPUI for news config, Bram proposed to have a more flexible front page
- Do we have a DCAT consensus? If so, does it still make sense to hold a community-wide discussion for both feedback and developer resource identification?
- going back to the priority of just making XMLUI news editable - Bram
- DS-456 create easy upgrade scripts (Iryna): discussion forum, JIRA
- no developer assigned yet
- propose writing scripts for the most common database/operating sys
- Database: PostgreSQL 264, MySQL 43, Oracle 39, Other 6
- Operating Sys: Linux 224, Microsoft Windows 88, UNIX 28, Solaris 22, HPUX 2
- Michael to attach scripts to JIRA issue that they have developed
- hold community-wide discussion/solicitation of other upgrade scripts already written or interested parties
5. New JIRA issues
- Added functionality to embargo feature (?DS-908, ?DS895, ?DS-824) - Jim, Bram
- Univ of Michigan is embarking on a project with @mire to add functionality to the existing feature
- DS-1021 - Amy
- discussion open now
