Developers Meeting on Weds, October 6, 2010

Agenda

JIRA Catch-Up (for first 20 mins or so of meeting) – starting with issue DS-632
- Search for recent JIRA Issues
DSpace 1.7 Features/Updates
- General Updates from everyone
- Unclaimed 1.7 Issues/Potential Features in JIRA
Documentation on Wiki discussions – any followup comments/suggestions?
- Suggestions so far from recent dspace-devel email thread:
  1. DSpace Documentation Area is where all Doc changes will officially take place (starting with 1.7.0 release).
  2. When we cut a new release, we will export an HTML & PDF "static" copy of documentation as the 'official release docs'
  3. Before the next Major release (1.8.0), we may archive a read-only version of the Wiki Documentation to a new space (named "DSDOC1.7" or similar). This would be completely read-only (even to committers) and would only exist just in case a serious issue was found in the 1.7.x docs and we needed to re-generate HTML or PDF versions at a later time. Eventually this archived area would be deleted once it was no longer necessary.
- Jeff Trimble will also be working on some other best-practices & general policies for our new wiki docs
Time permitting, we could also discuss recent Memory Leak/Performance threads

Teaser: coming soon, DSpace JIRA Migration to http://jira.duraspace.org/
- Looks to be more work than initially anticipated to merge DSpace's JIRA issues, users, groups into an existing JIRA. Tim still investigating, and we hope to still get this completed very soon.
