Notes

1. 1. Samvera Branch Renaming WG Charter (Jeremy Friesen ) 
      
      1. Review with a goal of sending a Call for Participation (CfP) out 2020-07-08
      2. CFP is going out today to seek participation.
      3. Jeremy Friesen to send out today.
   2. Translation management system offered by Bertie Wooles (Ubiquity Press) on tech email list (Chris Colvard (Deactivated) )
      1. Ubiquity runs a server called Weblate that can be used for managing translations.
      2. Current flow:
         1. New i18n keys are added with english varients
         2. auto-translate is run;
         3. later, maybe, a native speaker or translator notices and manually updates translations
      3. Weblate offers a dashboard(?) for tracking which translations need work.
         1. Could improve the flow and help us understand translation status.
      4. Should this be pushed up to the Hyrax IG?
      5. Chris will resurface this with Bertie and reach out to frequent translators so we can understand if this would be useful and who we can
   3. Normalizing location of CONTRIBUTING document (see related PR for discussion) (Jeremy Friesen )
      1. I'd prefer to first discuss https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/pull/4414
         
         1. Hyrax isn't cleaning the databases on feature specs; we should(?)
         2. We think this might have been on purpose to speed up the test suite in the Travis CI era
         3. It's important to keep the cycle time fast, but individual test speed isn't a major factor on that front right now.
         4. Jeremy Friesen will usher this PR through
      2. https://github.com/samvera/hydra-head/pull/513
         1. wanting to normalize location of CONTRIBUTING.md across Samvera repository
            1. should they go in `.github`? is there a github-side feature?
            2. rkadel if it's in repo root or /docs or /.github the link will appear in PRs and on issue creation pages
            3. the root of the repo will be easier to notice for folks who have pulled the repo and are looking at the context
            4. Should this go to promotion guidelines? elsewhere?
            5. James Griffin will raise this to CCWG in slack
   4. Pull request review
      1. https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/pull/4414 (Jeremy Friesen) Maybe addressing flappy specs?
      2. https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/pull/4158 (Jeremy Friesen) I want to look at the failing specs
      3. https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/pull/4397 (Jeremy Friesen) I'd like to see if others get these errors locally
      4. https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/pull/4412 this got merged, as a backport of major changes to IIIF manifest generation
      5. https://github.com/samvera/hyrax/pull/4384 this is still WIP
