Checking in on progress from the working meetings

Ongoing notes from working meetings

• Christine published the pages Sarit worked on for the different categories of integrations, but right now they are private and available only to this group (must be logged into Confluence to see them). Once we feel they’re ready for broader consumption she’ll remove that restriction.

• There is now a template for the table available from the main Create menu: Integration Pages Table Template

From the meeting discussion

• When working to edit the category descriptions, the canonical version will be what’s on the individual category pages.

• For each of those category pages, want a table of contents at the top with links to anchors for each of the tables.

• remove the Integration Scenarios section from the Why Integrate with ArchivesSpace page since it’s now redundant with the individual category pages

• remove the big table from the main page since that has been converted to the individual category pages and tables

Good progress has been made on the survey. Finishing it will be the focus of the upcoming working meetings. Doing it as a Google Form makes the most sense since that gives the group member’s the most control over editing.

Integrations discussion for April TAC meeting

Many of the items originally posed for discussion have been resolved within our own meetings or discussions, so the focus will be showcasing the work of the sub-team this year.

• Talking about and showing the new wiki pages

• Talking about and showing the survey

• Possibly road testing the survey if it’s ready by then

Future of the Integrations sub-team

The Council leadership has been discussing whether it makes sense to move this sub-team to a new model going forward (something similar to what’s done with the Awesome ArchivesSpace list, which started as a TAC working group and now is in maintenance mode with the TAC Vice Chair as the maintainer).

Sarit suggested even if moving to a different model it may be useful for there to be one more term to wrap up the main tasks needed to move to maintenance mode. Sarit would be willing to lead the team next year if that happens.

The Council leadership will continue to discuss possibilities and make a decision before teams need to be assigned prior to the new term.
