Developers Meeting on Weds, May 2, 2012
Agenda
Regular Items
- JIRA Catch-Up – starting with issue DS-1006
Reminder: The (Face-to-Face) DSpace Developers Meeting at OR12 in Edinburgh will more than likely be on Monday, July 9.
Discussion Topics
- Listserv activity: Is there more we should all be doing to chip in? Seems like most questions now being answered by helix84 (thanks helix84!).
- 3.0 Release Planning
- Scheduling a 3.0 "Special Topic" meeting (via Skype) - May 9 or 16
- New dspace-release list is geared towards planning this release. Anyone can join, but discussions will be specific to release planning & administrative discussions.
- GitHub Migration
- Already hit by Line Ending issues in one merge (See last few comments in: https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/4). Do we need to all ensure we are following Line Ending Guidelines similar to those for Fedora:
- Tim updated DSpace + NetBeans IDE instructions for Git/GitHub. We could use similar updates for IDEA and Eclipse (any volunteers?)
- Any "best practices" we'd like to start with and add to: Development with Git
- Other topics?
Additional Ongoing Topics
- Brainstorming Features/Changes for 3.0. Can we work towards development teams around any of these projects?
- Larger DSpace projects which seem to have a lot of recent support:
- Moving towards a Common "Business Logic" / Business Services API. (I.e. avoiding duplication of business logic in all UIs)
- Metadata For All (i.e. metadata on all objects), SubTopic: Getting us up-to-date how we use Dublin Core / DCMI. (Support from DCAT)
- Other DSpace projects receiving mention recently
- Migrate Search and Browse to DSpace Discovery
- "Change which UIs come out-of-the-box" (and which are optionally installed later)
- Move configurations to DB or similar (so they can be managed/edited from Admin UI)
- Context Guided Ingest (or Item Type based submissions)
- Other Development Proposals
- Larger DSpace projects which seem to have a lot of recent support:
