Notes

Agenda Items
1. Christine Peterson's question in Slack asking about Matomo for documentation
  1. Matomo integration written by brayden/sara G. (Notch 8)
  2. May be some feature disparity between Matomo and Google Analytics, maybe file downloads
2. Hyrax dev updates
  1. @Daniel Pierce , still getting Bulkrax on Nurax's
  2. @Randall Floyd , @Daniel Pierce Continuation of performance tweaking for: https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/issues/7137
    1. Valkyrie adapter improvements for caching identical Fedora responses
    2. Wondering if more benefits to be gained using the Redis/delayed indexer, how much actual use out there?
      1. Rob says best demonstrated so far with the simple use case of creating work and adding members
      2. Tends to be turned on for the worker, off for the web/main flow
      3. 100x speed improvement in the migration adapter scenario
3. Summary of discussion from Hyrax IG call: Bulkrax vs. the state of Hyrax bulk editing
  1. Working in current Hyrax, but not Hyku
  2. Lots of interface issues
  3. How or is it being used?
  4. General consensus is to reduce bulk editor to only deal with permissions/visibility, leave metadata bulk edits to bulkrax
Open calls for help or open PRs
1. @Randall Floyd to refactor https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/pull/7151
  1. Not happy with current solution to eliminate double iteration of work members
  2. jobs/services names that imply single function but do both permissions and visibility
  3. May also not be handling the AF work type.
