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.

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

Scheduled: 14:00 PST/17:00 EST on 12/02/2021

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!

As long as people want to work on upgrading core components and Hyrax to Rails 6.

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.

Facilitator Guide

Propose or claim a topic in the Proposed Topics table above

You will be asked to introduce your topic with a brief summary (minute or less) during the kick off meeting

Contributor Resources

Goal of this checklist is to enable leaders of specific issues to be able to collect resources for those interested in contributing; aiming to provide a shared knowledge base before beginning the work together.  While optional, if you're facilitating a topic we recommend you provide these resources to attendees ahead of time:

Prepare zoom link or slack room link that will be used for contributors to gather
Prepare short list of languages the work will be coded in
Prepare list of any tutorials a contributor can complete to familiarize themselves with the work ahead
If similar work has occurred in other repositories please include links to those repositories as well
