Agenda

1. Roll call
2. Call for agenda items
3. Next call: August 19th, 2013 
   
   1. Moderator: Michael Klein (Northwestern)
      
   2. Notetaker: Jeremy Friesen (Notre Dame)
4. Change tracking for delegated attributes (cjcolvar) - https://github.com/cjcolvar/active_fedora/commit/dc4bdaf9934572b532a090cd47c8aac8abf21f5f
   
   1. Example of doing this now in an AF::Base subclass - https://gist.github.com/cjcolvar/6210840
   2. Would allow checking dirty/changed on individual properties (in addition to datastreams)
   3. Klein: would like to see both the obj and ds track the change, rather than just the obj or just the ds
   4. Coyne: sounds very hard to implement at the datastream level given lack of properties for some entities in OM (uses #method_missing instead)
   5. Armintor: is the object the right place for this concern?  feels like it should be the datastream (but see Coyne's point above)
   6. cjcolvar will issue a Pull Request to ActiveFedora
