Review Action Items From Previous Meeting
Deprecation of Circulation Scripts in Favor of In-Database Circulation
Mike Rylander (eeevil) reiterated that deprecation does not mean removal; all functionality retained with best effort to support new features.
Jeff Godin (jeff) asked whether deprecation would mean no enhancements would be accepted to circ script infrastructure. Galen Charlton (gmcharlt) replied that it would be unlikely for new changes to be adopted unless they worked with both circ script and in-db.
Jason Stephenson (Dyrcona) proposed deprecating and setting a milestone to remove circ scripts in 3.0.
Jason Etheridge (phasefx) mentioned Bill Erickson's (berick) suggestion not to remove until a script fallthrough exists alongside indb
Commit MVLC hard-due-date patch to 1.6, 2.0, trunk
Mike Rylander confirmed this is in.
Killing off maintenance for 1.6.0 when 1.6.2 is released, with discussion about whether 1.6.2 and 1.6.1 should co-exist
Mike Rylander to cut 1.6.0.9 as the last version of 1.6.0.x series.
Dan Scott noted that this has yet to be taken to the mailing list for discussion.
Mike Rylander suggested that this subject is tabled until 1.6.2.0 exists.
KCLS code integration status
Bill Erickson confirmed that all code other than the opac skin is in the repository.
Jeff Godin inquired about the KCLS/SITKA "mobile opac" code.
Evergreen 2.0 Beta?
-
Mike Rylander indicated his preference to cut a new beta on a scheduled basis at least weekly (faster if possible).
Galen Charlton mentioned that one of the best things people can do to help speed the beta process is to aggressively test Acquisitions. Also noted that he did not foresee any schema changes for Acquisitions excepted for stored procedure fixes.
Dan Scott requested if there was any Acquisitions documentation with example workflows to follow for testing.
John Craig had some thoughts about how patches/functional additions are made to trunk and indicated that he will put something to the mailing list to describe this in more detail.
Repke de Vries (Repke) asked about Serials Management & Documentation to do serious testing. Lebbeous Fogle-Weekley (senator) responded that he was meeting with Sally Fortin and hoped to see some documentation arise from that. Dan Wells (dbwells) also mentioned that they are to transition to live data and may have something soon.
OpenSRF next major release
Bill Erickson volunteers to help with python bits, merging, patches, etc.
