Samvera documentation: Review it / Work on itSamvera Developer On-boarding Working Group has ported Samvera KB docs from legacy site over to the Confluence wiki. Can this be used now as a central documentation area? We can test this by considering something like Bulkrax documentation and if/how that could be provided or connected through the Confluence wiki Samvera KB. Other documentation questions or tasks can also be proposed and organized for future IG/WG work.

Change ordered_aggregation relationships for Avalon and possibly Hyrax (with ActiveFedora)Ordered_aggregation relationships are a major source of slowness when creating and editing works with many members.  This is the case for Avalon and Hyrax applications.  While converting applications to use Valkyrie will solve this problem it would be nice to have an interim solution.  Avalon is pursuing replacing the ordered_aggregation with an array of ids serialized as a JSON string similar to how Valkyrie stores relationships.  Work to be done is proving the approach works, writing a migration, and doing some benchmarking.https://github.com/avalonmediasystem/avalon/pull/5778

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
