[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] Notes from the September 9, 2009 DIG Meeting

[Repke de Vries]

Thanks for the quick update Karen !

Please note however that my (team's) role would be reviewing rather  
than drafting: our experience comes from installation for evaluation  
purposes and from trying to grasp the more high level Evergreen  
architecture & design picture.  Migration experience by the way will  
only be further down the road.

Yours,  Repke

> * We bid a fond and grateful adieu to Paul Weiss, who leaves us for  
> a job at Eugene Public Library. Paul was a founder of the DIG and a  
> major force behind its early organizational efforts, including the  
> 90-day timeline. The DIG would really benefit from another  
> community co-facilitator to work with Karen. Think about if you'd  
> like to do this!
>
> * After discussion, we committed to focusing on documenting these  
> areas --
>
> ** Reports (Karen Collier, working from Word docs, revising the  
> text and converting to DocBook)
> ** 1.6 Cataloging (Sarah Childs, Word revision)
> ** Sitka -- new features in 1.6
> ** Roma -- technical instructions (installation, migration,  
> upgrading -- don't worry, Roma, we know you'll pick one!)
> ** Daniel -- open
> ** Karen S. -- 1.6 new features
> ** Tina -- Converting Word to XML; CSS design; XML transform
> ** Repke -- installation, Migration, Upgrading
> ** Paula Burton -- editorial review
>
> * Indiana Evergreen offered to host a 1.6 test server for DIG  
> purposes; he said it would be up in 7-10 days. It doesn't have  
> data. Karen S. offered to ask Equinox if there were data available.
>
> * Mike Peters also reminded folks of the URL for the 1.6 staff  
> client: http://open-ils.org/downloads/evergreen-setup- 
> rel_1_6_0_0.exe It will be linked from the downloads page when the  
> release candidate for 1.6 comes out, probably next week.
>
> * Steve Wills volunteered to focus on the public-bugs database  
> question, with a focus on processes for feeding information from  
> the community back to the developers. We agreed on a forward- 
> looking approach, focusing on 1.6.
>
> * Karen agreed to check in the style manual's XML after the meeting  
> (done, to be discussed in a separate note).
>
>
> Whew!
>
> On the more housekeeping-ish items:
>
> * Karen s. and Karen C. will post the survey results tomorrow. This  
> concludes the needs assessment.
>
> * The environmental scan is done.
>
> * Shannon and Karen S. will look at training/orientation once the  
> documentation writers have worked their way through a few files.
>
> * Toolset -- this hasn't been linked yet; anyone who wants guidance  
> on what to use to produce XML, post to the list and we can give you  
> a good, refined response.
>
> * Karen will modify the proposed directory structure to note serials.
>
> * The scope/mission statement is on the wiki, listed under Terms of  
> Reference.
>
> * As noted earlier, Sitka has chosen to go to DocBook for their own  
> documentation. This is great, because we need a working example to  
> help us figure things out!
