Developers Meeting on Weds, October 10, 2012
Agenda
Regular Items
- JIRA Reviews – starting with issue DS-1082
- Forgoing JIRA review for now to spend time on 3.0 & Testathon. Specific JIRA tickets can be brought up as needed.
Discussion Topics
- 3.0 Release Testathon
- Any last things to clean up or take care of?
- SourceForge – should we still put release downloads up on SourceForge
- Pros: Sourceforge provides nice download stats/charts. GitHub doesn't (the best GitHub can do is give you a grand total).
- Also, it seems like there's no easy way to tell folks who find DSpace on SourceForge that the latest releases can be downloaded over on GitHub.
- Cons: It's another place to post releases to.
- Pros: Sourceforge provides nice download stats/charts. GitHub doesn't (the best GitHub can do is give you a grand total).
- DS-1277 : helix84 has suggested to have http://demo.dspace.org/ feedback form send to a different JIRA project. Thoughts? Alternatives?
- Other topics?
Additional Ongoing Topics
- How can we "catch up" with JIRA Backlog?
- Do we need to "split up" the tickets & do quick reviews on our own? Or perhaps just split up tickets & do a very quick ranking & schedule ones with patches for 3.0?
- Perhaps we schedule a "JIRA Backlog Bash" event (via IRC or similar) where we work together to decrease the backlog over a few days or a week (think of this like a "Test-a-thon" but instead we'd be working to just clear out the backlog as best we can).
- Brainstorming Features/Changes for future. 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)
- AuthN & AuthZ issues, including: DS-994, DS-1006, DS-1007, DS-1088, and developer meeting on May 2, 2012
- 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:
