Developers Meeting on Weds, February 16, 2011

Agenda

First 20+ minutes: JIRA Catch-Up – starting with issue DS-678
- Search for all Unresolved Issues (since DS-678)

Based on Proposal for a New "Feature Request" Review Process, Committers should start revisiting/responding to DCAT comments on JIRA Feature Requests. To get started this week, it'd be good to revisit the first two Feature Requests that DCAT Reviewed:
- DS-164 - Web Inteface for modifying 'input-forms.xml' (DCAT relevancy/interest vote: +4)
  - Full DCAT Discussion of DS-164-
- DS-638 check files on input for viruses, and verify file format (DCAT relevancy/interest vote: +4)
  - Full DCAT Discussion of DS-638
  - Elin Stangeland has asked to delay discussion of DS-638 until next week (Feb 23), so that she can attend our meeting

helix84 (Ivan Masár) has asked if we could try to provide some initial feedback on his recent patch today, as he'll be in attendance:
- DS-820 : SFX button + SFX in Mirage

Other Discussion topics?
- Was 'git' meeting last week useful? Anyone played with git more yet?

Next "Special Topics" Meeting??
- 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.
