Developers Meeting on Weds, November 13, 2013

Agenda

Regular Items

Discussion Topics

  1. DSpace 4.0 Status & Testathon progress.  Status check on 4.0 issues (~3 weeks till our tentatively scheduled final release)
    1. - What to do about the "./dspace index" scripts?  Do we point them at Discovery now (the new default)?  Do we leave them pointing at Lucene?
      1. We already have one reported bug because of confusion about the "index" scripts no longer working "out-of-the-box" in 4.0:
      2. Summary: DSpace 4.0 indexing commands
    2. https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/379 : Needs a review for 4.0, as it fixes issue.  This is another request from Google to improve indexing in Google Scholar.
    3. - Waiting on porting to JSPUI.
    4. Other specific tickets to follow up on? Issues? Questions?
    5. DSpace 4.0 Tasks
  2. Search Interfaces (possibly standardizing on Discovery as the interface, with multiple providers)
    1. In DSpace 4.0, Discovery is enabled by default
    2. What do we want to do about plain-Lucene support?
      1. Option 1: Deprecate it in 4.0, and remove entirely in 5.0
      2. Option 2: Rewrite it so that it can be another provider behind Discovery (alongside Solr and possibly ES)
    3. For 5.0, we could also tentatively plan to release a Discovery on Elastic Search option

Additional Ongoing Topics

  1. Brainstorming Features/Changes for future. Can we work towards development teams around any of these projects?
