Minutes

CLAW Roadmap

• tech advise group will help create CLAW roadmap
• Danny will convert into github issues soon
• Board of Directors strategic goals is pushing this
• blog post to come

https://github.com/Islandora-CLAW/CLAW/issues/920

• Drupal 8.6 was released last week, bug with features module
• it's patched
• we can maybe ditch some code after this
• we can maybe use Drupal's REST to upload a file

https://github.com/Islandora-CLAW/CLAW/issues/917

• some rough stuff already set up here

https://github.com/Islandora-CLAW/CLAW/issues/896

• dates are plain textfields because Drupal date relies on UNIX time stamps so doesn't work pre 1970 Update: This proved to be incorrect; the Drupal date field does support dates before 1970-01-01. Thanks to @Natkeeran for clarifying this. What Drupal dates don't support is uncertainty (which LOC EDTF does support). Also, using a text field allows us to store dates we can't easily parse; either because they use unidentified or inconsistent formats.
• uses LOC extended date/time format (EDTF)
• we don't know how this will work with Search API
• we need to figure out how to make this work
• some wonkiness with Features
• we need to support PBCore because of PBS's grant
• you can "clone" features by renaming a couple of files

sidenote

• demo module is helpful, it's in the latest playbook
• might be good to destroy the vagrant box, or rename the box name in virtual box

https://github.com/Islandora-CLAW/CLAW/issues/888

• long conversation here
• basically breaking fields apart
• taxonomy terms are used for access
• we have to be very explicit in the README about how this all works
• you have to have 3 or 4 fields in every content type
• it will help a little bit to know what to do (but still lots of work to do)

UX stuff

https://github.com/Islandora-CLAW/CLAW/issues/878

https://github.com/Islandora-CLAW/CLAW/issues/877

• autocomplete fields are gone with 888
• try to install content browser and file browser
• better UI hopefully
• need masonry.js for the grid system, if composer won't do it for you

Notes

• Danny is working on these PRs then wants to work on promo
• YouTube vids, blog post
• show more of the 7.x migrate stuff
