Notes:


Not very much feedback on the Guidelines.  How should we engage additional community members?  Does Hyrax roadmap hinge on the Plugin Working group.

We can namespace plugins under the hydras namespace.  Hydra Dams plugin will be namespaced later.

John Stroop thought Hyrax was a good place for us to do our work.

Since we are writing plugins for the hydra stack, so namespace at the appropriate level, either hydra or hyrax. Name space it at the layer of the sphere that it depends on. 

Classes need to be namespace. Routes will be affected by the namespace. 

No code and tickets have been written so we are behind on the milestone.

Is anyone available to doing half or full day commitments?  Either block off time or pairing up on hangout.  Mathew should be available in January.  Elliot may be available in early January. Work on Geo-concerns can start almost immediately.  Google Analytics plugin:  what does it do?  What is the problem space?  What are the actionable items? 


Actions
