9:15-11:15: Walk-through of customization and extension use-cases

[Meeting notes, 9 Feb 2012 AM]

For each of the proposed use-cases, we'll discuss:

...

Building on the discussion of customization and extension use-cases, and on the sustainability and foundation presentation, we'll review:

  • The existing workflows /wiki/spaces/collectionspace/pages/666275647 for making contributions
  • Gaps or weak areas in the existing workflows and process
  • Facilitating cooperation and preventing duplication of effort
  • Variants or different classes of contributions. E.g.,
    • a new procedure vs. a new template,
    • UI translations,
    • documentation and translations thereof
    • etc.
  • Structure of the community repository
  • Guidelines for adopters of contributions (especially templates)

...

  • Configuration
  • Using the common REST APIs
  • data import and ETL
  • http://issues.collectionspace.org/browse/CSPACE-3894 (adding/removing fields to groups)
  • NS: enable http caching for static assets (put nginx in front as a proxy server? Build default config? Or can this be turned on / off in the app layer?)
  • NS: we need to build an OAI-PMH endpoint providing at least CDWAlite, ideally oai_dc, etc.
    • Where does this go? App layer queries item XML and transforms is using XSL? Then we hook OAICat up to just use those calls instead of pre-formatted XML from a DB?
  • Aron: Flow of check-ins with switch to git from SVN (particularly pertinent for the project team right now)
    • When check-ins go from local to upstream, or through an origin repo (on a user's GitHub acct)
    • How pull requests are handed - who takes care of them, who is notified about them
  • ...

4:45-5:00: Wrap up, next steps

...

  • How it's working for you
  • What you need from it
  • When it's appropriate to use it, and when not
    • E.g. When not appropriate: UI development work, very rapid UI turnaround of HTML/CSS changes via local loading with record.html
