PC Update by @Charlotte Whitt

2024-08-22 Product Council Agenda and Meeting notes

Announcements: Reading Room Access functionality to be presented at a future PC meeting. New calendar functionality. Will test out Google calendar.

The PC reviewed the Evaluation Process for New FOLIO Functionality the document was created in 2023, and updated with notes from April 2024. The pilot phase is done, and the document is now official. The document is linked to directly from the main page on wiki.folio.org.

The PC’s review is a supportive process, and less a enquiring process. The PC do want to understand new functionality contributed to the FOLIO system.

All functionality evaluated by the PC are listed here.

What requires review by the PC: New apps, cross app functionality, and new modules which will be accessed using the UI. But there might be a grey zone. If in doubt then come to the PC and present your new work.

Early on presentations is valuable for the community, and ensure broader understanding of new work.

Following values and criteria will the PC be focusing on: App description, App delivery description, Uniqueness, Dependencies, Testing, End-user Documentation. The PC will talk with the Product Owners on how the PC can better support them. The PC will try to attend the PO’s meeting. The SIG liaisons will present for the respective SIGs.

No meeting this week.

Future topic at the PC: Talk about the frequency of Critical Service Patches for a given flower release. The PC is interested in hearing back from the Implementers about how much your institutions spend on testing before upgrading to a new CSP. Date TBD.

Finally: Any questions you’d like me to bring back to the PC.
