- August 22: GSoC Ends
- 1.7.1 Release
- Still on track for Friday, March 25?
- Other 1.7.1 updates / questions , etc.
- Other topics?
- Do we want to schedule a meeting to go over proposed Modularization / Refactoring work in near future?
Topics in the Waiting...
- Topics which are still on the "back burner" (which need someone to lead a "Special Topic" meeting around them)
- Discuss improving how DSpace handles Metadata (From past meetings discussions, this seems popular). Several ideas mentioned recently:
- Updating to current DCMI standards: DS-805
- Creating a new "dspace" internal usage schema (for administrative, or non-DC metadata)? Formalize the "dc" schema to be strictly valid QDC/DC?
- Metadata on all DSpace objects (not just Items)
- Discuss forming a "Documentation Management Team"? Or reworking our procedures for managing/reviewing/approving Docs on the Wiki.
- UPDATE: Jeff Trimble will lead a discussion on this in April or May. Still working on date.
- More discussion of Proposed RoadMap to 2.0 before OR11
- In meantime, feel free to forward thoughts on to Tim or everyone (via dspace-devel or dspace-commit).
