April 27 Roadmap Meeting

Islandora Drupal 6

• Release 6.x - 12.1.x (See also release notes)
• New landing page created to improve versioning and google search hits.
• Beta solution pack for video. Can't detect codecs, so many videos will fail.
• Is there a javascript mediainfo library that can look at the header before they are sent. Paul thinks that this is likely. Need to research.
• Should package a .tar for all filters. Jonathan has done this and will send to David to put up in downloads.
• New Collection Manager Module feature - selective deleting and migration.
• Harvester fixes. Better header label support.

Islandora Drupal 7

• Status of the code. A Fedora API now exists (way to connect to Fedora via PhP). Drupal 7 Islandora code is being ported, and dead code is being pulled. That will call the new Fedora API. Jonathan would like somebody with Drupal theming/display layer. Currently has about a day a week on Drupal 7.

• Ideally, Kris would write template files that are targeted at the ideal Islandora theming layer and then pass these to Jonathan. Jonathan will have to work with Kris on this.

• End of May code sprint? Would take some preparation to break things into manageable pieces. Jonathan will try to break the current tasks

• Testing and Documentation in 7
