I really enjoyed the last dev call and can facilitate the next one on Wednesday September 6, 2017 from 14-15UTC. Anyone willing to be the notes point person?
Below are some topic ideas.
Go over status of action items from last meeting:
- Code review - a lot more eyes on pull requests which is A++, Dave has really gotten things moving on Briefcase
- Docs website - http://docs.opendatakit.org/ lots of progress; process for deprecating old docs?
- ODK Aggregate - new README and instructions are being written
- Technical steering committee - UW survey with call for volunteer closed 8/31
- Strawman roadmap
- Google Summer of Code was big success -- @Shobhit_Agarwal do you want to say a few words about your experience?
Possible theme: interacting with data outside the form
This is a big area of feature requests. Implementations and specifications have gotten muddied so there's an opportunity for tightening things by sharing knowledge and ideas.
Knowledge sharing: @dcbriccetti, @martijnr and/or @michal_dudzinski could talk about external secondary instances (XML) and why they matter and also potential extensions to artificial instances and CSV handling. In particularly, why CSV handling is valuable even in a world where pulldata/search/external itemsets exist.
Discussion of needs from external data proposals in Features category. @TomSmyth, maybe you'd like to talk about your proposal?
For those whom I've tagged above, are you interested and available? Anything else that anyone wants to discuss?
