BREAKOUTS
Items requiring further discussion prior to deep-dive development - schedule TBD
- Breaking Sufia down into smaller component gems - how do we make Sufia less monolithic - how does this interact with Curate and other initiatives - are there general architectural principles we need to agree on?
- Group Management - this development topic was identified as being overly broad and not well defined - we need additional discussion to determine if this topic can be broken down into smaller and or better defined conceptual units
- Administrative collections - need to have a breakout to familiarize folks with what's currently provided by hydra access controls, hydra-role-management, Fedora RELS-EXT, local implementations at Stanford and Duke, and identify gaps
- Demo of Curate progress to-date
DEVELOPMENT TOPICS
We reviewed the top items from the google moderator backlog and came up with the following prioritization:
Rank is based on the highest overall scores for being Well Defined, Achievable this week, and Should be general purpose gem
| Rank | Well Defined |
Achievable by Friday |
Should be a Gem |
Feature |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 12 | 17 | 14 | Controlled Vocabulary Widget - RockHall has a starter gem Repo & Issues: https://github.com/projecthydra/questioning_authority |
| 2 |
15 | 15 | 12 | File characterization gem - extracted from Sufia Repo & Issues: https://github.com/projecthydra/hydra-file_characterization |
| 3 | 13 | 16 | 10 | Extract dropbox integration from Sufia Repo & Issues: https://github.com/projecthydra/browse-everything |
| 4 | 9 | 8 | 14 | Batch Import Module - (need to tighten requirements before beginning development) |
| 5 | 14 | 10 | N/A | Implement google drive (or other selected cloud drive) integration into dropbox gem (depends on 3) |
| 6 | 12 | 11 | N/A | Ordered sets - probably an extension to Active Fedora - DIL and Royal Library of Denmark have examples |
| 7 | 8 | 8 | 7 | Notification engine - provide consistent framework to provide online and offline user notifications |
| 8 | 9 | 5 | 0 | Admin Delegation - allow user to manage an item on behalf of another user who is the actual owner |
| 9 | 8 | 1 | 4 | 2-Step mediated deposit (could just be a special case of multi-step deposit) |
| 10 | 2 | N/A | N/A | Admin Collections - APOs - Hydrus extraction - (needs breakout for better definition) |
| 11 | 1.5 | N/A | N/A | Group Management - (needs breakout for better definition) |
Potential Development Topics
FOR CURRENT LISTING, SEE GOOGLE POLL: http://www.google.com/moderator/#15/e=20cf08&t=20cf08.40
- Any of the topic on the
Rank, Interest, and Availability for Gemification for Solution Bundles
- FWIW, the number one ranked interest, Dropbox, is done and has been rolled into Sufia. It may be worth making further gemification of this into a work item since 1) the level of interest in Dropbox is so high and 2) not all who want Dropbox want Sufia.
- Merge Rubydora updates necessary for fcrep04
- Configurable derivative pipeline (for Sufia or generically) to generate derivatives for web use (image, audio, video, pdf, etc.)
- Configurable controlled vocabulary widget
- Interface spec for 'pluggable' gem infrastructure
- Interface spec for data models that can be used in Sufia (so an institution can choose Dublin Core, PBCore, MODs, or homegrown)
- Build a hydra-authority gem that provides a (caching-optional) API to generic authority services (Like Getty's web API for the Thesaurus of Geographic Names (TGN))
- Extract File statistics from WGBH, and either create a Gem or add to Sufia
- Integrate Hydra-Editor with ActiveFedora-RegisteredAttributes https://github.com/jeremyf/active_fedora-registered_attributes
- Design and start building an institutional repository hydra head (D-space and Libra replacement)
- Please add your ideas here...
