how to balance your own roadmap with someone else's desires

MB: clearly defined APIs, choosing middle ground between opposing needs
MK: inherent tension between differing desires from devs and project directors who are sticking to the timeline and pre-established goals
Discussion concerning Hydra-head model inteface definitions (Jeremy Friesen)
Sufia interrogates a model for the form fields to use in editing; That method would be one of the methods for the Sufia::Webforms interface.
JF: base model that implements hooks into this particular Sufia interface
topic for devs conference
Rights metadata and access controls have some implications
JC: what is the prescribed model, beyond just AF::Base?
Merge sufia rails4 branch (Justin Coyne)

Announcement of IR Gem (Justin Coyne)
This is very much a work in progress.
like Sufia, but just for depositing files
JF: DCE is doing work on this that is, de facto, approved by the community; Notre Dame is very interested because this articulates what our shared idea of an IR is
JC: dev conference is a good place to get this moving
MB: well-defined APIs; Bess and Mark will articulate what these APIs are and how they're used, and put them before the manager community of Hydra
