Subteam Discussion/Demonstration: Development Prioritization

@Matthew Neely

Dev Pri is a cross-council team with members from both councils. Dev Pri does an initial review of Jira tickets for both feature requests and bug reports.

Dev Pri is keen to undertake greater outreach in the community and really interested in hearing ideas. Some questions for discussion:

  • How can Dev Pri encourage more community input in creating new Jira tickets?

  • Are there opportunities for closer work with other sub teams e.g. prioritizing areas of ArchivesSpace for development?
