Dec 7 roadmap meeting

Agenda

Status of 6 release

• Spot check next Thursday to see where we are. Currently over 30 issues at various priority levels.

Committers

• Skype call started by Melissa, chaired by David (Kirsta is away)

Status of the refactoring of 7

• Missing files and functions - is tuque ingest the only ingest now? In the includes folder there is a folder called ingest.inc that has a bunch of includes. Nigel and Adam have been doing a lot of ingest stuff. Ingest form and menu.inc were the only things in the file. DGI is suggesting an update given the significant refactoring of ingest framework recently.
• Settling on standards for naming is very important if code is to be developed against the evolving 7. Nigel suggests conventions be decided upon now. For now, for forms, he's moving them into their own file. File name should be the same form name, with the exception that the file name, instead of _form, it should be form.inc. (Nigel suggests we meet about this convention - perhaps add to a future committers meeting?)
• Timeline for stability in Islandora 7 is not before Christmas.
• Potential problems being caused by reorganization of code. Timeline is delayed. A release package is probably a bad idea at the moment since people will have problems updating. DGI will not be packaging release.
• No Beta release of 7 in December.
