Agenda:

  • Discuss the last sprint, specifically the question about the overall framework for the new PUI
    • (note: this is the only agenda that was discussed during this call)
  • Next stories up for grab (including those that weren't delivered or accepted)
  • Anything else?

Minutes:

James- HM is prepared to work with the current code/not rewrite
Could make some improvements over the API such as the solr index (interaction with the backend)
If starting today, might not do it all in javascript (unsure of where the original requirement came from)
Bobbi- concerns about some design since this is a public facing application; some work could be done more efficiently done on the server side
Brad- wants to hear more about motivation to stick with code already with limitations or is it better to start over
How and who to make the call and lead the redesign?
Bobbi- concerns over accessibility
James-useful division of a redesign of frontend by Bobbi and HM leading a refactoring of the backend
Brad-bulleted statement of work from Bobbi and HM with a bit of detail of what each will do and what the benefits are.
Are there things still provided via the interface with javascript turned off-so as not to take too far a step back
Should we use the old public interface and start with that?
James-still confident that with a rewrite the project would remain on track for a December turnover
User stories and end goal already defined so a time savings there. Need to get into a testing groove.
Bobbi, Susan, Randi have a quick chat about the recommendation from their point of view.
Mark Cooper-would like a document outlining the programming rationales/decisions
Bobbi-Why are we using jruby on the public side?
Mark Custer- can we estimate any revision of hours from HM if redesign of solr side is approved
-awaiting analysis, but likely to complete all the backend requirements as priority
Focus on well-formatted HTML, standards for dynamic content support accessibility inherently
 
Can group meet on 2016-07-05 to update on the decision points? Brad will send out the meeting apt.

Action item: Brad, Susan, and Mark Custer will develop an agenda tomorrow morning at 8 a.m. for the meeting on July 5th.
