Developers Meeting on Weds, February 2, 2011
Agenda
- First 20+ minutes: JIRA Catch-Up – starting with issue DS-675
- General Announcements:
- Proposal for a New "Feature Request" Review Process in collaboration with the DSpace Community Advisory Team (DCAT):
- Discuss whether we want to switch to a new version numbering scheme for 1.8? Past Suggestions include:
- drop the "1.", so that "1.8" would be "DSpace 8" (This is similar to Java, where 1.6 is also called Java 6)
- release number based on release date, so Oct 2011 release would be numbered 11.10 (YY.MM) – this is similar to Ubuntu Release numbers
- Next Week (Feb 9) - Special Topics Meeting on git / DCVS, led by Peter Dietz
- (NOTE: Tim may be unable to attend, as he'll be at code4lib conference. It all depends on wireless stability at the conference.)
- Other ideas for "Special Topics" Meetings
- Discuss improving how DSpace handles Metadata. 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.
- Discuss improving how DSpace handles Metadata. Several ideas mentioned recently:
