Notes
* Liz Hess is the new Executive Director of IQSS:
https://www.iq.harvard.edu/people/liz-hess* Let us know via
secu...@dataverse.org if you didn't receive a security advisory.
* 4.8.2 - available either today or tomorrow. Look out for it this week.
* Fix to locking behavior as it pertains to curators (now curators can edit datasets that are in review)
*
https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/4139 * Docker images for developers (very rough)
*
https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/3938 * Misc. small changes
* Internationalization (
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/dataverse-community/Hx_i2dbt8F8 )
* Danny: Can Scholars Portal summarize their efforts?
* Jayanthy: Extended for French in Bundle.properties. Lots of remaining issues.
* Danny: IQSS doesn't have the capacity to lead on internationalization. Can the community partner on this, such as Scholars Portal and Odum?
* Jayanthy: It would be great if IQSS could join in. We are interested in getting our pull request merged.
* Courtney: There is some interest at TDL in Spanish language support.
* Gustavo: We need to design for multi-lingual rather than bi-lingual. Arabic introduces potential right-to-left text issues.
* Phil: Translating just interface vs. interface plus metadata itself
* Gustavo: This is very much manually done. Need to be very careful about automatically translating things.
* Kevin W: Multilingual is challenging due to tsv files.
* Tsv files need to define the key from a bundle
* Need to consider deploying bundle files outside the war file
* Phil: External tools like Data Explorer should be internationalized as well.
* Kevin: Different languages as keys in JSON files.
* Community Questions
* Kevin: We met with the Australian Data Archive last week. Modularity for external tools will be hugely beneficial. Thank you for that. We're interested in mapping datasets to publications.
* Pete: Are you going to do any mapping by making use isCited relationship already in DataCite or EZID?
* Kevin: We have an extensive journal platform and it would be interesting to see where the data is being used.
* Danny: We're working on backing up data from S3 to storage at Harvard:
https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/4157 * Courtney: question from our developer, Nick. We saw a "Glassfish domain crash." Has anyone experienced this?
* Danny: Please send the server.log file to
sup...@dataverse.org * Pete: I was able to crash Glassfish by exhausting the memory. Use `sysstat` to look at memory and swap usage before the crash.
* Kevin: Can we talk about the stats that are going to be implemented? The admin panel. The ability to view certain stats.
* Danny: Our focus internally has been to write SQL queries to learn more about usage of features (
https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/4169 ). Thank you, Kevin for contributing to these.
* Miniverse can also be used to get metrics
* Kevin: I've been asked to write a report.
* Derek: We have a document (
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-Y_iUduSxdDNeK1yiGUxe7t-Md7Fy965jp4o4m1XEoE/edit?usp=sharing ) in our Google Drive that Kevin has been adding queries to. This has been very helpful.
* Phil: Kevin, can you please add your questions to the doc? The questions your report is trying answer. Maybe the community can help write the queries.
* Kevin: Yes. I'll add them.
