Meeting Notes

  1. Reminder of redirects discussion coming. LaRita will be working with Rob re: final structure and get it merged

  2. Questioned what to look for w/ Tracy’s Hyku PR’s. Request screenshots where applicable, and/or look for repo issue. LaRita will follow up.

  3. Daniel- bulkrax wings issue, still not working.

    1. LaRita: an object factory may work. Rob: Custom query shouldn’t live in Bulkrax - acceptable to delete and move into Hyrax… need to use the right version of Hyrax.

    2. Will be a major version release for Bulkrax, but one is in the works anyway for permission related issues w/ exporting. 

  4. Pull requests

    1. LaRita will review the flaky spec on Daniel’s PR to remove concurrent builds. 

    2. Daniel is going through Hyrax’s backlog of PRs. Plan to close most with comment that can re-open if still needed. The submitting person has the responsibility to follow up on PRs submitted. 

  5. Follow up on virtual connect.

    1. Rob curious re “wings as a plugin”... who would it serve? Who would use it, maintain it, etc. 

    2. Daniel mentioned cutting code out entirely simplifies confusing documentation issues.

  6. Next week:
