20 min | Sub-team updates on planning for the year | Integrations: Dallas Pillen Metadata Standards: James Griffin (Unlicensed) and Kevin Schlottmann Tec Docs: Alicia Detelich Dev Pri representative: Maggie Hughes Testing representative: Wiedeman, Gregory | Subteam leaders share out action plans. Integrations (Dallas): work plan: 2019-2020 Integrations sub-team Work Plan continuing to improve external-facing documentation (esp. updating known integrations) improving internal documentation and project management reviewing integrations survey results and determining next steps
Maggie: internal documentation is a focus for TAC generally and other councils too
Metadata Standards (Kevin): Work plan: 2019-2020 Metadata Standards sub-team Work Plan determining level of commitment to various standards (eg EAD 2002 vs EAD3 for import) looking at emerging standards Published metadata mappings - updating them and figuring out how to maintain them better and keep them up to date, thinking about testing code changes that effect mappings (esp. EAD and MARC) reviewing metadata-related Jira tickets how to get more feedback from community?
Technical Documentation: Work plan: Technical Documentation 2019-2020 Work Plan How to solicit input from users/assess needs? Fill in documentation gaps in key areas Document info covered in old developers screencasts Coordinating work with API docs working group Thinking about linking tech docs to user docs where appropriate
Valerie: Have we ever evaluated listserv questions to assess needs for better tech docs? Christine: We tried but it didn’t get too far Maggie: We should Kevin: Can we spin-out tickets based on listserv questions? Sarit: Can listserv posts be integrated into Confluence to make them easier to review? Christine: listserv platform is not ideal. Increased interest in moving to something else.
Development Prioritization (cross-council) (Maggie) Work plan: 2019-2020 Work Plan Continue to use "Ready for Community Developer" queue Evaluating survey results Establishing themes/goals for selecting tickets

5 min | Ad hoc working group updates | API: Dave Mayo (Unlicensed) | API Documentation (Dave): Maggie: how long will it take? Dave: don’t know yet - depends on who’s doing the work and how much time they have to do it

15 min | Discussion topic: Integrations sub-team | Integrations sub-team | (Dallas leads it) Need input RE: internal documentation - any ideas from other sub-teams? Maggie: talked with Max about this kind of thing w/r/t TAC generally. She keeps a Google doc with milestones for the term year, responsibilities of chair/vice chair, etc. Something like that could be generally useful Might make sense to move that (and other Google docs) to TAC wiki in Confluence Sub-teams could do something similar Dallas thinks that’s a good idea for Integrations
General need to persist this kind of documentation from term-to-term, good case for using Confluence Valerie: Yes! Kevin: it was useful to have some documentation about what Metadata Standards is supposed to do. Some lightweight project management framework for sub-groups would be useful
|
5 min | Open mic | All | Running out of time! Kevin: How does it work when/if widely-used external plugins are integrated into core code? Christine: 2-3 years ago there was documentation for interested contributors. She will send links to those out to TAC listserv. |
