Major goals of this forum / Quick brainstorming session for potential topics
All
better connecting international community
better ways to have aspace deal with multiple languages, japanese, diacritics, markup, etc. – pdf process – how to make aspace more friendly to non-english languages
extending the isu screencast series. public user interface, pdf.
keeping track of bug and feature requests
in the email forums, you see a ticket was submitted about that… it would be great to find a more helpful way to give a heads up, maybe through a sprint call to give a heads up on where things are with Jira tickets
part of the program could be sharing how to write jira, search, and explore better ways tco communicate
some way to point to all of the different resources. trying to make the front end more accessible. – awesome archivesspace
plugin development? how to make better use of that
session to ask technical questions
generally creating a safe/comfortable space for questions
