Notes: Check-in for Developer Congress May 13-17, 2024

We'll record group updates here in case there's anyone who misses the call

Group updates


May 14

Samvera documentation

  • meeting scheduled for this afternoon at 3 PM


Hyrax/Valkyrie/Fedora 6

  • planning to meet up soon
  • Randall is catching up with the work that he did during the last developer congress. The pair tree work still functions as expected.


Freyja migration adapter

  • Daniel is investigating whether pcdm object generation is intended.
  • Freyja is also not pulling file contents, and there may be a PR for that from SoftServ. Daniel will look at the PR


Hyrax Accessibility Audit

  • Rebekah looked into overlap between EU and US web guidelines. They are essentially the same. Rebekah will write up her findings and recommendations for further work on the wiki and will post the link for the group to review
  • Julie will take a look at the accessibility tracking spreadsheet and start checking pages.


Change ordered_aggregation relationships for Avalon and possibly Hyrax

  • Chris is looking at hydra_pcdm, but having trouble with local tests.
  • He is planning to write up the migration for Avalon and move to hyrax_pcdm if time allows.


May 15

Samvera documentation

  • had a meeting yesterday
  • potential changes: incorporating Hyku, moving core components under Hyrax, space for components that aren't formally a part of Hyrax
  • doing a test run with some components for the rest of the week


Hyrax/Valkyrie/Fedora 6

  • had a meeting this morning and came up with a plan
  • need changes to valkyrie to handle pair-tree. Will coordinate with Trey
  • slash problem in default admin set ID. Daniel is taking a closer look. Unclear which product is responsible for the issue.


Freyja migration adapter

  • issues that are still present:
    • should conversion jobs happen when work is viewed or just when edited?
    • some files are getting saved with 0 bytes


Hyrax Accessibility Audit

  • Rebekah finished a draft of the EU/WCAG comparison and is looking for feedback from the group
  • Rebekah and Julie will look at the rest of the accessibility spreadsheet. They will change the color of rows which are in progress


Change ordered_aggregation relationships for Avalon and possibly Hyrax

  • Looking at what migration could look like for Avalon. Information could come from solr for fast reading, but writing would be slow. Thinking about an approach similar to double-combo work


May 16

Samvera documentation

  • Rebekah did a test post using activefedora as an example. She found documentation in two places on Github and linked both. Julie will review and determine how to handle documentation in multiple places
  • Julie will draft some recommendations for the new documentation working group and send to group for review.


Hyrax/Valkyrie/Fedora 6

  • Randall has created a branch that allows metadata adapter to work for pair-trees. He is working on a similar branch for the storage adapter


Freyja migration adapter

  • Daniel is looking at issue where files are 0 bytes after transfer. May need to add more checks. LaRita's PR doesn't seem to address this issue specifically


Hyrax Accessibility Audit

  • Julie has reviewed most of the remaining pages and documented SiteImprove failures.
  • Rebekah will create Github issues for failures. When an issue appears in multiple places, we may need to make notes in the ticket.


Change ordered_aggregation relationships for Avalon and possibly Hyrax

  • no updates
