Technical Council

Technical Reviews:

UI for March Authorities approved, review of UI for user bulk edit is in progress. Review of Translation app has resulted in a deeper look at how we do translations in FOLIO and an RFC scoped to the back end.

Subgroups:

New Module Technical Evaluation: updating acceptance criteria, removing some non-technical requirements. It seems a good time for some coordination with the cross-council FOLIO Scope Criteria group.

Technical Decision Making: Reviving the RFC process, but will also need a mechanism for decisions that aren't suitable for RFC. Also discussing balance of consistency vs flexibility in implementation. Want dev teams to consider deeply how specific solutions interact with the rest of FOLIO.

TC Goals & Objectives: soliciting technical pain points from SysOps and technical parts of FOLIO; use this to look for root causes and to prioritize responses. Goal is to drive some technical topics at WOLFcon.
