Agenda
#repo-managers Updates
Hyrax vs. Nurax, collections-extensions Status
Nurax is just supposed to be the newest release of Hyrax. Vanilla instance of Hyrax for testing.
Difference with Nurax vs. a local Hyrax - all configurations turned on.
Nurax does not always have the most recent code. Usually deployed closer to formal release.
Once it gets 2.1, it may be on that for a while. Already in beta release.
QA Testing
Working on big bugs (like Rails errors)
Will move into release candidate, might be best time for DURT.
Last time, there were 5 release candidates, 10 weeks. Shorter window this time around.
Could also consider trying to do our work right after 2.1 (as 2.1.1, perhaps)
Release process: http://samvera.github.io/release_process.html
More bugs in sharing/permissions than navigation / discovery
DURT Planning
Running issues: UI/UX Hyrax running issue list
UXIG will process issues from this list into GitHub
Actionable feedback plan / advice
Adam might be able to help work on recommendations. Typically hard to get development effort.
There are also accessibility issues that need to be fixed.
Timing / schedule
Nasty bugs have another two weeks
Let's just wait for wait for full release to do testing
Scope / focus
Work with staff again
How many participants?
Documentation to review
Governance questions
Will this affect us?
Action Items / Next Steps
Explore collections functionality (navigating between three views of object can be tricky/confusing.) *might be a good candidate for user testing
Example collection: https://nurax.curationexperts.com/collections/gb19f583j?locale=en
Lots of layout elements came from initial wireframes (Hyku). May want to reconsider.
Another issue: https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/issues/2680
Breadcrumbs are another issue
Adam: consider other UX methods for glaring problems, before doing user testing
Julie will tag UI/UX advisors on some smaller issues (not requiring user testing)
