Samvera and Samvera-labs teams review and audit

Description:

Want a community review and audit of the Samvera and Samvera Labs teams. Make sure that settings are applied properly, and that those who are no longer members of the community are not IDed as gem owners, etc.

Need to clarify who has access and who to contact to push to Ruby gems and to do releases

Will recommend that Admins must have 2FA enabled

Will notify the community and do this organization discussion and implementation during the May Dev congress.

Performance testing/improvement strategy for Hyrax

Description:

Discussion and strategizing and possibly development work around performance issues experienced using Hyrax 3.x. At least one example is what happens when trying to delete a work with many filesets (see issue link).

Possibly review identified performance issues with Valkyrized Hyrax as well and see if there are differences or improvements.

OAI-PMH feeds in Samvera Tech

Description:

Providing harvestable OAI feeds for content is necessary for sharing to DPLA. Maybe this is just relevant for Hyrax but this might also be something to work on in the context of Hyku. Unclear if this is something that can be added to Hyrax or if this should be providing documentation of options for local implementation.

Hyrax Batch Edit Review/Design-a-thon

Description:

Batch Edit is a specific interface for Works with a set of actions that is part of Hyrax. It is not behind a feature flip and is separate from the Bulkrax batch round-tripping that is a possible gem to add on to Hyrax. Batch Edit for Works could benefit from a redesign or a decision to remove it from Hyrax altogether. UX, design ideas, wireframes, use cases and opinions all welcome!

Hyrax upgrade work for Blacklight 7/Rails 6

Description:

Upgrade work might still remain to support Blacklight 7 and Bootstrap 4, both of which are needed to upgrade Hyrax to use Rails 6. Currently, Hyrax uses Rails 5.7.2 and that is reaching end of life on June 1.

Hyrax CircleCI Updates

Description:

Hyrax is still using the deprecated circleci images and needs to migrate to using cimg images. Hyrax should also update to the latest samvera orb version.

This might also bring dropping support of EOL Ruby versions (< 2.7) into question.
