Project:Weekly/20220627

Basic Info

Attendees: David, Eloi, Johannes, Larissa, Moritz, Olaf, Tim

Protocol: David

Progress presentations

• Johannes: formula search, progress: manual tests to check function of formula search, formula index is created on page creation, on undelete pages index is also created; maintenance scripts

• Eloi: CRAN import: orcid linked with authors, publications of package are imported if doi given in description; Problem: description cannot be imported because of 250 char limit. Possible solutions (Moritz): statement (configurable text field with more allowed chars) or individual wikipage for each CRAN package

• Larissa: WIP ZBMath improvements

• David: finished uploaded image tests for backup & restore; improvements of image backup restore; minor fixes

Comments:

• Moritz: orcid data of ZBMath authors should be linked with CRAN authors
• Olaf: orcid data is generally incomplete, duplicates must be expected

Organizational Topics

• Chats: migrate to MaRDI rocket chat where WIAS admins are more open to extensions and responsive? -> Moritz: IF we change, better choose a more suitable platform (slack); (on hold until this becomes more urgent)
• Review article meeting: Tuesday 28.6., 9:00
• David: outcome of the milestone weekly last week was the need of a clarifying roadmap and a translation of milestones to tasks (-> schedule in 2 or 3 weeks)
• Tim: official milestones have to be strictly reached and reported

Epics

• Johannes
  • Formulasearch maintenance: ongoing
• David:
  • backup & restore: done, except for openstack backups (blocked by openstack migration)
  • openstack migration & DFN authentication: talk to ZIB IT
  • metrics: gather informations on external tools
  • webhooks reporting: on hold
• Eloi:
  • CRAN packages: bugfixes & some improvements, documentation
• Larissa:
  • ZBMath: get informed on open API import for additional data

Comments:

• Moritz: reporting: we should summarize the status when closing important epics and write a short report (for instance wikipages)
• Tim: important is that the reports can easily be copied & pasted to some other doc, if necessary (not github issues)
• Johannes: some epics seem to grow over time, but should reach closure, in milestones meeting acceptance criteria should be defined.

Next week:

• Johannes: math extension & maintenance
• Larissa: will continue work with ZBMath data and extract meaningful reports
• Eloi: Poster, CRAN docs & improvements
• David: review article, metrics research
