12:48 kmlussier The other question I wanted to ask on the proposed xul bugfix policy is who gets to be the lucky person to update all those bugs to Won't Fix?
12:49 kmlussier :)
13:04 JBoyer Are you asking because you want to be the one to do it kmlussier? ;)
13:04 kmlussier JBoyer: I think I could get a certain level of enjoyment out of it if I were in the right mood.
13:05 jonadab Heh.
13:05 kmlussier The way I used to enjoy weeding when I was in the right mood.
13:05 * csharp loves weeding
13:05 jonadab I know someone who enjoys shelf reading.  No fooling.
13:06 kmlussier jonadab: I enjoy shelf reading at my local library.
13:06 jonadab (Though there are certain sections she doesn't enjoy doing.  629 for instance.)
13:06 kmlussier To be clear, I don't actually work there.
13:06 jonadab Ah.
13:07 kmlussier I just reorganize their shelves while I'm looking for books to check out.
13:07 kmlussier Really. How can you see a book sitting in the wrong place on the shelf and not fix it?
13:09 * csharp does that too
13:10 csharp pop materials is always a mess and I always fix it
13:11 khuckins joined #evergreen
13:13 berick kmlussier: re xul bugs, is there actually a list?
13:16 kmlussier berick: There are ones with a fixedinwebby tab, but, otherwise, no, I think we'll just need to hunt them down.
13:16 berick gotcha
13:17 kmlussier s/tab/tag
13:22 berick wondering if we should recommend/require wranglers add one of fixedinwebby or xulclient tags to WONTFIX bugs
13:24 ohiojoe joined #evergreen
13:24 berick as a way of indicating the wranger confirmed it's not / no longer a webby problem
13:24 kmlussier It's probably not a bad idea to provide some insight on why it's being set to WONTFIX. Also, it might be handy for to pull those up in the future.
13:24 berick and reporting, good point
13:26 mmorgan1 joined #evergreen
13:32 ohiojoe just wanted to let everyone know we'll be having a DIG meeting here in half an hour
13:41 abneiman kmlussier: csharp: glad I'm not the only one who fixes misshelved library books....
13:43 kmlussier abneiman / csharp: I don't fix them in the children's room, though.

14:05 ohiojoe #topic ongoing business
14:05 ohiojoe you may recall last month I said we would switch the order around since we didn't really get into the on going business category last time
14:06 ohiojoe #topic Progress on documenting new features in Evergreen 2.12 (and previous)
14:07 kmlussier #info kmlussier is Kathy Lussier, MassLNC
14:07 phasefx #info phasefx is Jason Etheridge, Equinox (just lurking, but available)
14:07 ohiojoe Oh, and hello and welcome everyone.. :-)
14:09 terran #info terran is Terran McCanna, PINES
14:13 Christineb #info Christineb is Christine Burns, BC Libraries Cooperative / Sitka
14:14 ohiojoe any thoughts on this?  if not we can move along..
14:15 kmlussier ohiojoe: I don't know that there's been much progress on 2.12 docs, but the list is here if anyone wants to help out. https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/doku.p​hp?id=evergreen-docs:2.12_needs&amp;s[]=2&s[]=12&s[]=documentation
14:15 Jen I have a question. Is there a go-to person for documentation for each release?
14:15 kmlussier https://wiki.evergreen-ils.org/dok​u.php?id=evergreen-docs:2.12_needs is a shorter link.
14:16 kmlussier Jen: There is somebody who creates a page like the one above for each release.
14:17 kmlussier There is a release coordinator role that I'm passing along to sandbergja, but others have helped out with that page too.
14:17 * kmlussier still needs to coordinate the transition with sandbergja. :)
14:19 sandbergja kmlussier: I'm excited! :-)
14:19 ohiojoe I think perhaps individuals volunteered per release once upon a time, but that appeared to be some time ago..
14:19 ohiojoe although I may be mis-remembering (always a possiblity)
14:20 kmlussier It generally has been that somebody volunteered to create the page and then send it out to the list to get volunteers to work on the documentation.
14:21 kmlussier And then usually scheduling a doc hackfest around it.
14:21 sandbergja I wonder if we could get in touch with folks who are listed as "in progress" for old versions
14:21 sandbergja To see if they had a chance to gather notes that they could pass along
14:22 sandbergja before those notes disappear forever
14:22 sandbergja :-)
14:23 kmlussier Yes, I think that's a good idea.
14:23 kmlussier I also think I've listed my assignments as complete when they should be in progress.
14:24 sandbergja I wonder if there's clearer terminology we could use: maybe "In progress", "Submitted to DIG", and "Committed to official docs"?
14:25 sandbergja Since I think that folks have different definitions of "completed" and "in progress"
14:26 kmlussier Sounds good to me.
14:26 Jen +1 to Jane's new terminology
14:26 kmlussier Does anyone want to take an action item to follow up with the in-progress people?
14:26 ohiojoe that would have the advantage of showing new folks who happen along what the steps are to completion..
14:27 ohiojoe +1 to Jane's suggestion
14:27 ohiojoe I can follow up with folks
14:27 sandbergja I could follow up for cataloging-related items
14:28 sandbergja since, uh, some of the cataloging ones are mine :-)
14:29 ohiojoe shall we split it then?  does anyone else have a desire to jump in?
14:29 kmlussier Actually, the in progress ones mostly seem to be from 2.11, right?
14:30 kmlussier For those who are fairly new to DIG, would it be helpful for us to identify some unclaimed tasks that might be bitesize ones?
14:31 ohiojoe it looks like there are a handful going back at least as far as 2.9..  provided I'm reading things correctly..
14:31 alynn26_away +1 for bitsized ones.
14:32 ohiojoe +1 as well for bite sized tasks
14:32 Jen kmlussier:  Yes - to identifying unclaimed tasks that might be bitesize for new people (like me)
14:32 * kmlussier can take that as an action item.
14:32 kmlussier It looks like some already have bitesize tags added to them.
14:33 ohiojoe #action kmlussier will identify unclaimed bite sized tasks for new DIG participants
14:33 kmlussier For those who are new to the process, we generally look at the release notes to get an idea of what the feature is. In some cases, we can mostly copy the release notes entry for documentation.
14:34 kmlussier In some cases, the change may just need to be updated screenshots rather than documentation.
14:35 Jen Thanks! I will work on some of the older bitesize needs.
14:35 ohiojoe and it looks like Jane and I will follow on the in-progress then?
14:37 ohiojoe #action sandbergja and ohiojoe will follow-up with assigned "in-progress" users to try to preserve any progress made but not submitted
14:38 ohiojoe #topic Progress on Docs Reorganization project
14:38 sandbergja I would love some guidance here!
14:39 sandbergja I'd like to gather some feedback on the reorganized manuals on the test server
14:39 sandbergja What's the best way of going about the feedback gathering, do you think?
14:42 kmlussier sandbergja: Have you sent out anything to one of the lists (docs or general) showing the changes you've made?
14:42 kmlussier I feel like you have, but I'm not finding it.
14:43 sandbergja kmlussier: I thought so too, but it looks like I haven't
14:43 sandbergja ohiojoe: could you put that down as an action item for me, please?
14:44 ohiojoe #action sandbergja will email one or more lists seeking feedback on reorganized manuals on the test server
14:44 kmlussier sandbergja: If you don't get much feedback via the list, it might be worth scheduling another meeting focused on the reorg project.
14:44 kmlussier But it would be good to see if you can get good discussion on the list first.
14:45 sandbergja sounds like a plan
14:45 kmlussier For reference:
14:45 kmlussier #link http://docs-testing.evergreen-ils.org/
14:45 ohiojoe any other thoughts here before we move on?
14:46 ohiojoe #topic Progress on documentation launchpad bugs
14:48 kmlussier #link https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergr​een/+bugs?field.tag=documentation
14:49 ohiojoe opps, I should of done that
14:49 ohiojoe +1 kmlussier
14:49 ohiojoe er kmlussier++
14:49 kmlussier I think people get to them when they have time. jlundgren has worked on some over the past few months.
14:49 kmlussier jlundgren++
14:50 kmlussier There may also be some nice bitesize ones there that would be good for people just starting out.
14:51 Jen I will be happy to give that a try, too.
14:52 kmlussier It looks like we have a bitesize-doc tag too. https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergr​een/+bugs?field.tag=bitesize-doc
14:53 ohiojoe excellent, I'll have to look through those too then
14:55 kmlussier yes
14:55 kmlussier Oops. Wrong window. Sorry!
14:56 ohiojoe :-)
14:56 ohiojoe #topic New Business
14:57 ohiojoe #topic Web Client Documenation Days
14:57 ohiojoe opps
14:57 ohiojoe #topic Web Client Documentation Days set to August 23rd and September 27th
14:58 ohiojoe I wanted to get those in there before we wrap up, as a reminder especially to others who might glance at the minutes but missed the email
14:59 ohiojoe and with that we're coming up on the hour.  Does anyone have any objections to pushing our old business to next month?
14:59 sandbergja works for me!
14:59 kmlussier No objections here
15:01 ohiojoe well, seeing no objections, thank you everyone

15:03 kmlussier Dyrcona: I think you encountered another patron registration bug that got fixed in .4
15:03 * kmlussier finds the bug number
15:03 Dyrcona That's what I'm starting to think.
15:04 mmorgan joined #evergreen
15:05 kmlussier bug 1702756
15:05 pinesol_green Launchpad bug 1702756 in Evergreen "Browser patron register UI fails to load" [High,Fix released] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1702756
15:08 Dyrcona Yeah, that's it based on my console log.
15:08 Dyrcona kmlussier++
15:08 Dyrcona I wasn't finding that bug searching for "patron registration"
15:08 Dyrcona Lp search is awful.
15:08 maryj joined #evergreen
15:09 kmlussier Because you have to go to advanced search to expand results to Fix Released bugs.
15:10 kmlussier And the word registration doesn't appear on the bug
15:16 Dyrcona Right, I did that. I was searching for "patron registration" but the bug is named for "patron register."
15:16 Dyrcona Like I said....
15:23 * Dyrcona signs out real quick to reboot his firewall.
15:28 ejk Hi all, long time lurker here. I've been trying to develop a PHP library to do OpenSRF calls via the OpenSRF http gateway. I've been able to get calls that use simple parameters to work, but I'm having trouble calling methods that use OpenSRF objects as a parameter. I think I just don't have the parameters set up correctly, anybody have any experience?
15:29 Dyrcona joined #evergreen
15:55 Dyrcona jeffdavis: Have you been in touch with Overdrive about using their integration environment, or rather have they been in touch with you?
15:56 mmorgan1 joined #evergreen
16:06 jeffdavis Dyrcona: do you mean having generic (rather than Sitka specific) access to that environment for EG devs?
16:06 jeffdavis Or just in general?
16:13 Dyrcona I'm not sure. I requested Patron Authentication API and they responded about using their integration envoronment.
16:14 Dyrcona They said, "We are currently speaking with an Evergreen contributor and have not been able to set up a test environment."
16:14 Dyrcona Among other things.
16:30 jeffdavis They must mean me. I requested access to their integration environment for Sitka (not for the broader EG community) - looks like they didn't receive part of my request and followed up while I was on vacation.
16:31 pinesol_green News from qatests: Test Success <http://testing.evergreen-ils.org/~live>
16:40 jvwoolf joined #evergreen
16:47 jeffdavis Dyrcona: I sent them a follow up attempting to explain that my access to their API doesn't preclude others'.
16:55 Dyrcona jeffdavis: OK. I'm going to discuss it with others here to see where our priorities are. I don't think i really have time for it right now.
17:00 jeffdavis It shouldn't be necessary to jump through hoops to use what's there. I'll press them further on this depending on their response.
17:05 Dyrcona OK. I was thinking it might be a matter of changing code or settings on training, but I don't know.
