New Developer Onboarding

@Vijay Gopalakrishnan 

@Vijay Gopalakrishnan confirm if what the group pro is a valid approach

@Tod Olson will go ahead and pull items from the backlog to prepare a timeline

* Technical Documentation WG: A working group is going to be created to work on aligning the documentation effort

 

Previous Notes:

From Tod:

In the PC meeting yesterday, we heard that there is a need for more/better onboarding information for developers. There was a question/suggestion that maybe TC would be able to help with that, maybe identify some people who could help pull together some onboarding. Is that something we would want to take up?

Documentation and training for new developers, such as the FOLIO developers in China and Alabama. PC/CC may need to allocate resource to do this. @Tod Olson will bring our discussion back to PC/CC. @Vijay Gopalakrishnan will assess the current situation of technical documentation.


Today:

  • Check in on status

  • Form a working group?

5-10 min

UI Plugin Dependency Declarations

@Zak_Burke / @Marc Johnson 

Previous Notes:

There seems to be some inconsistency across UI plugins/modules wrt declaration of okapi interface dependencies.  Is it the responsibility of the plugin to declare these, or the "hosting" UI module?  

Discuss possible next steps: 

  • Ask the Stripes Architecture group to make a decision – I think they've made decisions like this in the past.

  • Ask the Stripes Architecture group to advise the TC on this, who will then make a decision – only necessary if the Stripes Arch. group doesn't think they have the authority to make the call

  • Get an overview from a representative of the Stripes Architecture group (e.g. @Zak_Burke) and have the TC make a decision

@Zak_Burke plans to raise the topic at the Stripes Architecture group meeting tomorrow. 


Today:

  • What was the outcome of the conversation with Stripes Arch.?
