Agenda

Ongoing Reminders

  • New UI Initiatiave (previously called DSpace UI Prototype Challenge).

    • Possible Interest Group(s) for REST API and one for Angular 2 UI design forthcoming.

Discussion Topics

  1. DSpace 6.0 Status. List is getting shorter, and we seem to be hitting the 6.0 home-stretch.  Mostly, we need PR testers (see our Testing Pull Requests hints/tips)
    1. Would be nice to release an RC3 in the next week or so (once a few other major issues get merged), and get demo.dspace.org updated for some final testing prior to 6.0 Final.
    2. "Must Have" tickets that need resolution before 6.0 Final (These are all unresolved tickets flagged "Fix for 6.0" with a priority of "Major" or above.)
      1. key summary type created updated due assignee reporter priority status resolution

        Unable to locate Jira server for this macro. It may be due to Application Link configuration.

    3. Other "quick win" PRs, which are "nice to haves": https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+label%3A%22quick+win%22+milestone%3A6.0
  2. Other 6.0 "known issues" (Any tickets in these lists that are not listed above may be rescheduled for 6.1 or later, if no volunteers are found)
    1. Other unresolved issues flagged from "testathon":https://jira.duraspace.org/issues/?jql=resolution%20%3D%20Unresolved%20AND%20labels%20%3D%20testathon
    2. All the PRs flagged for 6.0 (some may need rescheduling): https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+milestone%3A6.0
