Thanks to Lynne’s poll, there were a total of 8 responses. The votes corresponding to the order above are: 6,5,2,2,2,1.

Jennifer put this on the PC Communities Priorities board.

In future, we want to rely on votes. The one with the highest votes is https://folio-org.atlassian.net/browse/UXPROD-2829 . However, because it is a draft, it doesn’t appear in any of our dashboards. Could the status be changed to open? then it would appear in our open list of issues?

For this and to track issues, there is now the Data Import Releases Dashboard.

Related Jira discussed in meeting that could open up the data file types used in Data Import to support work in other areas: https://folio-org.atlassian.net/browse/UXPROD-5253  

DI a SIG or working group discussion

Conversations have occurred in MM SIG, Acqusitions SIG, and App Interaction SIG.

The consensus in these groups is that DI should become a SIG. DI is much more than Inventory and bibliographic data. Some in Acq SIG mentioned that they didn’t come because they felt the focus was too much on bib records.

Of note for this group. People have requested:

• More asynchronous and synchronous sharing (see below)

• More equitable time spent on acquisitions and bib functions

• More collaboration between other SIGs

We are now a SIG!

Looking for a group of notetakers.

• Whitney and Yael

Ask from community on asynchronous input

MM SIG/various

In MM SIG on 4/24/2025, several people mentioned that they couldn’t attend DI meetings. There is no meeting time. People would like to see more asynchronous ways to provide input and be proactive on how DI evolves.

Ideas:

• Rotating days and times of Data Import Lab so more can participate.

• Integrate lab more tightly with the SIG.

• Post lab day/time at the top of each meeting agenda
