Sub-team Updates

• Development Prioritization: @saron tran

• Integrations: @Sarit Hand

• Metadata Standards: @Valerie Addonizio

• Technical Documentation: @Alicia Detelich @Dave Mayo (Unlicensed)

• Testing: @Rachel Searcy

• Development Prioritization: During our meeting on January 4th we reviewed 21 Jira tickets (3 of which we didn’t get to discussing). We passed 12 tickets. We closed 4 tickets. We postponed 1 ticket regarding digital object visibility so that more of us could review the several page specification that was provided. And we moved 1 ticket to awaiting more information.
  Excluding what we have assigned for our upcoming meeting-- there are 15 feature request tickets that are awaiting prioritization (https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/jira/software/c/projects/ANW/boards/16). And there are 0 bug tickets that are awaiting prioritization (https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/jira/software/c/projects/ANW/boards/15?selectedIssue=ANW-1384 as a few of them that aren’t assigned to other subcommittees haven’t been moved to ready for implementation and one of them will be reviewed in our next meeting)
  If we do get through all tickets that need prioritization-- we are tentatively planning on working on the ones that are awaiting more information or using the monthly meeting to work on a themed review of tickets-- or if there are suggestions let us know.

• Integrations: Is down to two members and would welcome assistance. Currently working on timeline and documentation

• Metadata Standards:

  • Thanks to Regine for taking the lead on completely reorganizing the mapping documents for the EAD2002 importer; we expect this to be a game-changer moving forward

  • (Hopefully) preparing topics and discussion points for the Online Forum

  • Have been addressing Jira tickets tagged for Metadata

  • Tested GitHub Filewatcher, which will email us when changes are made to parts of the code we care about documenting

• Technical Documentation: @Blake Carver would like feedback on installations with external Solr

• Testing:

  • Tested 30 Jira tickets in November/December

  • Regression testing for 3.2.0 and 4 Jira tickets
