PC update

 

Agenda/Notes

Kelly Drake appealed for documentation. Laura will call for volunteers from MM SIG to write out simple documentation. Documentation helps with bugs - guiding users to what should happen vs. what is actually happening. 

Recommendation: Set "low bar" - don't feel like it needs to be great writing or exhaustive. Some documentation is better than none. Helpful for libraries considering FOLIO.

 

Reminder: update calendar to extend/renew recurring meetings for 2021

 

Can download .ics file from main meetings page

Also: no meetings December 24 & 31.

 

Other updates, announcements

 

The data import development team has been working on supporting the OCLC/FOLIO api that Index Data has been developing.

Extend meeting time to include more demos in the New Year? Laura will set up a Slack poll asking if the group would prefer the added 1/2 hour to begin prior to the current meeting time, or after the current meeting ending time.

(from Jesse in the chat) If folks have a chance, please feel free to add your comments to our marcedit w/ folio efforts in this form: https://forms.gle/LmVvQVGq73QPXZum7

 

Documentation – another hackathon?

 

The new FOLIO User documentation website (WIP): docs.folio.org - Do NOT try to update this page. What we put into "Tips and Tricks" will inform docs.folio.org.

Tips and Tricks page can be used.

Suggestion to make a list of what documentation is most needed. Some prefer text, some video. Laura offered her workflow: create written instructions, then adapt that to become a script for a video.

 

 

MARC data in FOLIO

 

Scratch environment for MARCcat?

Weigh in on requirements (add to tables, add comments, or just add text to the document). 

  • "Average" library - can we define several types of libraries on this document? 

Laura asked that people go beyond adding comments, but add to the document instead. 

The Technical Council is performing a code review to evaluate how far along MarcCat is.

Reasons for MarcCat delay:

  • Repurposing pre-existing tool

  • Small number of developers at "at Cult" who were not as in sync with other FOLIO developers, so possible lack of understanding as a result

  • They never worked with MARC Holdings

  • The main atCult shareholder sold share to Cassilini

  • From Charlotte: "The Technical Council in collaboration with the PC Executive is already doing a code review of MARCcat. To get a better understanding off how much more work there is left in wrapping up the work on MARCcat Right now the project has too many Front End developers - and lack of Back end developers, So we could be in a good position handing over the UI development to another team"

See today's TC notes: 2020-12-9 Meeting notes "Conclusion, TC would not be in favor of using the current code base toward a future Cataloging App."

Please fill in by next week.
