Developer Onboarding Documentation: Moving the Samvera KBThe Samvera KB is a somewhat known but mostly out of date and not easily maintained resource that has just enough helpful info on it to cause confusion. The Developer Onboarding Working Group is working on moving the good info over to the Samvera Confluence wiki. We thought this would be a great thing to work on as part of the Dev Congress!

Samvera KB (not everything here is good info): https://samvera.github.io/

New location on Samvera Confluence Wiki: Samvera Development Knowledge Base

Promoting Bulkrax out of Samvera-labsBulkrax is used by several institutions as part of Hyrax/Hyku implementations but the Bulkrax code is still living in Samvera-labs in Github. There seems to be only a little bit of effort remaining to finish the list of things needed for promoting this gem from Samvera-labs to Samvera.

Current Bulkrax code: https://github.com/samvera-labs/bulkrax

Steps for promoting code out of Samvera-labs: https://samvera.github.io/samvera_labs.html

Enhance Hyrax IIIF API

Enhance the builtin IIIF components of Hyrax. Ideas:

  • Add vips transformer to riiif
  • Better caching in riiif (etag?)
  • More flexible viewer options
  • Add iiif service to docker compose

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
