Minutes

Advanced Search Issue

(Do you want a PR?)- https://github.com/Islandora/documentation/issues/2001

UTSC has abstracted Advanced Search into a top-level module. Would need a pull request to remove as a child module. Kyle asks for evaluation and comment. Discussion if LSAP is required, and the consensus is that it is not required as this was existing code that is abstracted out. Do we transfer ownership now or later? Should this live in Drupal.org?

Re: Advanced search next steps: 1. Testing (Alex will test!) 2. Bring repo to Islandora org on Github 3. Pull out submodule if it's good 4. discuss mirroring and moving forward later.

Newspaper

https://github.com/Islandora/islandora_defaults/pull/63

Abstracting out the newspaper views. Next steps: 1. Testing (Seth will test!) 2. Bring repo to Islandora org on Github 3. Pull out submodule if it's good 4. discuss mirroring and moving forward later.

Has an artifact file leftover from the editor (.swp binary file) needs to be stripped out (Nat will do it). Composer info file should include dependency and Nat will make required PRs - Info yaml in Islandora defaults will need to be changed.

Conclusion of the Sprint

What needs a documentation ticket? The Backlog reflects work completed during sprint (we believe). If you have completed sprint work that is not captured, please reach out to Kirsta

Maintainers

"This module is maintained by the Islandora community. If you add an issue to the queue, please attend a Tech call meeting or join us on Slack to discuss. We thank xxxx for previously maintaining this module."

Next steps: Kirsta to make a ticket with the text and https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1E7W0VNcBDsi8xM58KBa5UxvMgJoFNlrWLToFmFcHM2o/edit#gid=0 - Kristina will do some of this; Seth will help. Ticket is here: https://github.com/Islandora/documentation/issues/2010

Support for D8

Proposal from TAG

Gentle approach to removing 8 on a module-by-module basis. Approach was outlined as in the document. The approach should be reviewed by interested parties and will be discussed in the new year. This should go out on the list for review - Rosie will send the email blast.

Need to update testing matrix as lots of end of life happening (9.1 eol this month). For matrix we do major version rather than point version. Search API Solr does a good job and is an example to follow (Jordan's suggestion)

Docker PR and memory leak
