What is the state of the proposed path to Apps, Platform, etcAuth/Security...
Vince proposal seeks to address the "monolithic" problems of FOLIO to formally define Apps, Platform, etc...RFCAuth/Security...
Vince makes the problem statement: "Folio is stuck in a mode of monolithic releases which are ever increasing in size"
Problems from the PC perspective (draft suggestions only):
- Hard for PC to fulfil it's responsibilities in regards the 'product' where we lack a definition of what the "product" is
- Includes the time necessary for App / Module evaluation issue as well as the issue that this has not proved particularly effective so far
- e.g. Translation app "approved" but not part of product - functionality was desirable but implementation was not accepted by
- OA app approved but failed TC evaluation
- Lists app not approved by PC but already going through TC evaluation
- Includes the time necessary for App / Module evaluation issue as well as the issue that this has not proved particularly effective so far
- Overhead of a "Flower release" - on the product and the wider community (testing)
- Ever growing "product" as it's hard to rule out functionality that is useful to at least one library
- Overhead for hosting institutions and service providers in managing and upgrading Folio installations
