TopicNotes
Updates from group
  • Listserv activity
    • Documentation citations
    • Documentation enhancement suggestions
      • Advanced queries – technically API but somewhat different
      • Permissions
      • MARCXML ingest (user docs?)

  • Other potential docs enhancements
    • Docs for running dev server – i.e. documenting ports for backend
    • Plugin structure for models
    • Subrecord oddities, differences between top level records and nested records.
    • Better documention of JSONModel; templates? (Bobbi had mentioned this) – AD has done some work toward this
  • Should create issues or stub records for these as they come up


  • Work plan goals/timeline for docs enhancements
    • Developer onboarding
      • Review existing docs before next meeting
      • AD will create Google doc or other shared tool for brainstorming what kinds of things should be added/updated – ultimately could submit issues to tech docs once we have a better sense of what we want to do
    • Developer screencasts
      • Review existing screencasts between now and next meeting, make notes on what should be added or updated in written documentation
    • Generalized API documentation
      • Different brainstorming doc?
      • Some ideas: generalized (narrative) tutorial for authenticating, sending different types of requests. Note parameters that are used across endpoints – pagination, all_ids; better indicate that only top-level records have URIs that can be directly requested via the API
    • Thoughts on this process/timeline?



Other work plan thoughts?
