We will use this meeting to discuss this general proposal, especially how it pertains to upcoming 1.8.0
As necessary, we can also discuss 1.7.1 upcoming release
DAYLIGHT SAVINGS REMINDER FOR THOSE IN USA : Daylight Savings time began last weekend, which means this meeting is now one hour LATER. See the world clock to determine what 20:00 UTC corresponds to where you live.
"If the goal is a DSpace w/Fedora inside, then let's look at what that requires." Some suggestions that we need to learn more about what DSpace w/Fedora Inside means before we can move towards it in a logical fashion.
"There are more trade-offs, and built-up legacy revolving around developing those features than is acknowledged"
Need to step back and look at our priorities:
Overarching Goals expressed at top of Proposed RoadMap to 2.0 seem to have some common agreement.
Goal to allow for DSpace w/Fedora Inside as an option (may not be required)
Still concerns over whether that has stronger architectural requirements that would require us to entirely rebuild DSpace architecture
Goal to allow for "Third party, non-Java user interface (i.e. php-UI)" (communicates via REST API, SOLR/Discovery, or similar)
Much more discussion necessary! We barely touched the surface
Schedule a meeting in future to go over Modularization / Refactoring projects?
