Hyrax::Ability Hardening | Most samvera apps use CanCanCan to handle authorization for actions throughout the application. Hyrax provides a mixin module (Hyrax::Ability) setting up baseline authorization rules for Hyrax’s feature set. What does Hyrax::Ability permit/deny and for which users/groups? If you want to find out, you have to read the code. How can apps understand how changes will impact authorization? They can’t. Let’s fix this by documenting, testing, and refactoring Hyrax::Ability with clarity in mind. | Hyrax::Ability todo item. | 2 hours of group review of current code & discussion. probably as long as we care to take as individuals or in in pairs/swarms to implement changes. | @tamsin johnson | @tamsin johnson | @Chris Colvard |
Hyrax container and chart publishing --- automation edition | Hyrax’s codebase has Dockerfiles and a Helm chart, which are occassionally manually published to the Samvera GitHub OCI registry (ghcr.io). Publication of these artifacts could and should be automated! | Duration: 0.5 - 1.0 hours | @tamsin johnson | @James Griffin | @Chris Colvard | |
Rails 6 support | Do a gap analysis to figure out what is left to get all of the core compenents working on rails 6 then do the same for Hyrax. Then do the fun part of doing the work! | Add Rails 6.0.5 Support to Core Components · Issue #28 · samvera/maintenance | As long as people want to work on upgrading core components and Hyrax to Rails 6. | @Chris Colvard | @James Griffin |

CircleCI build image update | CircleCI is deprecating it’s circleci/* images at the end of this year. This should be a fairly easy change in the samvera orb but we’ll probably need to upgrade core components to use the 1.x version of the orb. | Investigate using Circle's `cimg` docker images · Issue #43 · samvera/samvera-circleci-orb | 2 hours | @Chris Colvard | @James Griffin | @James Griffin |
