Specific Tasks and Projects

Ongoing/Recurring Tasks

• Update and maintain ArchivesSpace User Manual pages

  • Continue systematic review of User Manual pages with a focus on the Subject module pages in anticipation of future development in this area.

  • Update pages as needed in response to user feedback and Jira tickets.

• Create documentation in response to new version releases.

In-Progress Projects Carried Over from Last Term

• Continue review of fields that publish in the PUI to develop a comprehensive list for the ArchivesSpace community.

New Projects for This Term

• Collaborate with the Testing sub-team and Christine Di Bella to develop a mechanism for sharing feedback regarding User Manual documentation, specifically in two cases:

  • When testers notice deficiencies in existing documentation while testing established functionality.

  • When testers notice functionality that needs to be captured in new documentation while testing new release candidates.

• Collaborate with the Technical Documentation sub-team of the Technical Advisory Council to develop a phased approach strategy for a multi-term project that seeks to determine how reports derive their information, i.e. which fields of which modules of ArchivesSpace contribute information to a report.

• Create a list of tasks for incoming sub-team leads to complete at the start of each term.

Maintenance Activities

• Update team documentation (review process and style guide) as needed.

• Maintain page watching assignments to reflect current membership.
