High level description:
We're using the pilots as opportunities to lower barriers to migrations for everyone in the ecosystem
- focus on documentation of
- of processes
- best practices
- tools
- outcome of the pilots should be a toolkit that will expedite and simplify migrations
- we have grant funds to support a "migration camp/workshop"
Project Goals
- Successful migration from to Islandora8 deployed in production environment (Lyrasis)
- Thorough documentation of all aspects of the migration. (Whitman)
- Use the Isle project as the vehicle for deployment (Born Digital)
- Theme development to support successful deployment of newspaper repos (Born Digital)
- Ideally fully migrate to Islandora 8 with standard newspapers and oral histories themes. (Whitman)
- Clarify what components/features will be delayed (if anyone) (Whitman)
- Minimize bespoke development
We should go through the gaps analysis with a fine-toothed comb in order to make sure that everything that is a hard requirement is on the development schedule.
Project Plan
See link above.
Does the scope sound reasonable?
(no objections)
It is important for us as a group to be clear about what features/development/etc will be covered by the grant versus what will not.
We should have a plan for a "content freeze" in order to allow for an orderly migration.
Question: are we interested in bringing over metadata revision history along in the migration?
Whitman: probably not - that is less important than making sure that everything that is working for us in 7 continues to work in 8?
Funders are concerned fundamentally with successful migrations of the data from one version of the user facing software to the next. Not so much having a "complete" (read versions included) migration of Fedora.
