Question: Should we point the Angular demo site (https://dspace7-demo.atmire.com/) at the REST API "master" demo site? Currently it's still pointing at the OR2018 REST API demo site
Tim & Giuseppe both say let's point it at the "master" version. We need to do this anyhow in time for Preview Release.
Giuseppe working on processing Ben's feedback today/tomorrow. Will add in missing comments/docs & do more testing in the coming week (based on Tim's feedback)
Art mentions an Authentication issue on REST API master. If you use invalid credentials you get a 404 error page instead of a JSON response.
Tim expressed concerns of possible scope creep. This may be a lot of backend refactoring to align all these tools into the proposed "processes" endpoint. The idea of a "scripts" endpoint seems OK though, and long term this entire concept seems fine. Just concerned it could be significant effort that may not fit into DSpace 7 timelines.
Lots of discussion of pros/cons here.
Tim asks for Atmire to write up a proposal for how the backend (i.e. DSpace API layer) would need to change to support this. Then we can analyze whether it's possible for DSpace 7.
Lieven notes Atmire can do this after the Preview Release.
