    • https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/pull/230
    • Kristof (Atmire) working on metadata/bitstream registry parsing services.
      • Limitation of Registry endpoint. Currently not possible to fetch metadata fields for a specific schema?
      • TODO (Andrea): create a ticket for this on REST API side.
  • Tickets / PRs requiring review:
    • https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/pull/241
    • https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular/pull/235
      
      • Timing issue with Node 8 and the live REST API. Lotte working on it

  • Merged PRs: 
    • (none related to REST API, some backports for 6.3)
  • In Progress tickets / PRs:
  • Tickets / PRs requiring review:
• Sprint Planning: DSpace 7 Community Sprints
  • Sprint #1 will be May 7 and 14
    • May 10-11 is a holiday in Belgium. Art unavailable those days
    • Andrea will be at COAR conference May 16-17.
    • But, other than those minor conflicts, these seem like the best weeks in May.  Other weeks are more problematic.
  • Discussion of Alphabetic Jump To in Sprint 1
    • This doesn't yet exist on REST API.  Could be implemented on the browse endpoint as a simple param.
    • However, that may not be the ideal implementation, as technically it's a form of pagination.
    • TODO: (Andrea): Create a REST Contract ticket to propose how to possibly implement this. Bring discussion over there & try and finalize contract in time for Sprint 1
  • 4Science is working on an Edit Item page which is similar to the submission (uses input-form).
    • Will need both this submission-like edit page, and also the full admin edit page (to allow adding fields that don't exist in the submission page)
    • TODO (Tim): Add admin item edit page to Sprint 1. We've decided that would be worth adding in here.
  • Discussion of Authorization in Sprint 1
    • We likely need an endpoint that lets Angular ask "what can this user do" or "can I do this", so that the Angular UI need not duplicate authorization logic to determine which links / menus to show to the currently logged in user
      • TODO (Art): Create a ticket to begin to investigate how other Angular UI projects deal with AuthZ decisions like this.
  • For purposes of the Sprint 1, Find by Item ID/Handle will link back to the View Item page.  Once Edit Item is complete, the link will be updated
• NOTE: Andrea will be out next week at DuraSpace Summit and CNI.  (Tim is attending Summit virtually)

...

•  Andrea Bollini (4Science): Create a REST Contract ticket / early proposal  for Alphabetic Jump To.  All should then help discuss / finalize this contract in time for Sprint 1
  
•  Andrea Bollini (4Science): Create a REST API / Contract ticket for fetching metadata fields in a specific schema
•  Tim Donohue: Update Sprint 1 to include a new task, "Admin Item Edit Page" (similar to current one).  Prepare/finalize Sprint 1 for advertising at Summit, and post-Summit to everyone.
  
•  Art Lowel (Atmire): Create a discussion ticket to investigate how Angular UI projects deail with AuthZ decisions in UI layer. E.g. How should we implement in REST to support Angular?

•  Andrea Bollini (4Science): Work on estimates / task definitions / tickets for REST API in DSpace 7 Community Sprint 1
  
•  Art Lowel (Atmire):  Work on estimates / task definitions / tickets for Angular UI in DSpace 7 Community Sprint 1
