Developers Meeting on Weds, May 19, 2010

Agenda

• Any Announcements / Additional Agenda Items?
• DSpace 1.6.1 Updates (Kim Shepherd)
  • Help us test DSpace 1.6.1! – Demo site is running pre-1.6.1 and is an easy way to test!
  • Release still on schedule for Friday, May 21st?
  • Other updates?
• Discussion Topics:
  • Jira Workflow (Robin Taylor)
    • Discussion began on dspace-devel
    • Are we all OK with Robin's proposed general workflow? "Received -> Open -> In_Progress -> Resolved -> Closed -> Re-Opened"
  • Next Special Topics Meeting? – it's about time we schedule another one. Possible topics for the next meeting may include (voice your opinion on the Doodle Poll if you cannot make the meeting ).
    1. Runtime Reconfiguration - How do we make DSpace easier to reconfigure while it is still running (e.g. either via Admin UI configs, or just enabling dspace.cfg to be reloaded without having to restart tomcat)?
    2. Asynchronous releases / Continued Modularization – Do we want to take steps to modularize DSpace even more? This may or may not include rearranging SVN so that many Maven modules are developed out of "modules" area instead of out of "trunk"?
    3. DSpace UI Development / Support – Do we continue to essentially require UI-parity for all new features?
    4. DSpace Services – Perhaps an overview of DSpace Services Framework or a Q&A with mdiggory around this framework? Do we all want to "buy into" this framework and work to better integrate it into DSpace?
    5. What is 2.0, really? How do we get there? – essentially a continuation of our previous RoadMap discussion. More planning/next steps towards 2.0.
• JIRA Catch-Up – starting with issue DS-517 (and getting as far as we can).
  • Search for recent JIRA Issues
