Folks:
In response to request for more info on CGI, here is a fuller writeup:

questions and feedback welcome.

All (especially Committers),
+1 to what Mark Diggory states below about bringing in progress DSpace
projects (especially major ones) to a more public space.
I'd like to see us all get in the habit of working more "publicly",
especially when it comes to redesign of core features of DSpace.
So, if possible, I'd encourage all major DSpace projects/prototypes (no
matter how early in their development phase) to do the following:
(1) Create a central SVN space for this code (either in 'sandbox' or in
'modules'). Where you put it doesn't matter as much as that it is
publicly available. Alternatively, if you have an external, public SVN
or git repository, you can also share it there.
(2) Put some early documentation up on the Wiki (obviously doesn't need
to be perfect, but something people can start from). This also provides
an area where others can give immediate feedback, help in brainstorming,
etc.
(3) Create a JIRA issue / placeholder to link the SVN location with the
early wiki documentation (and assign it to yourself). This helps ensure
all developers are aware of the project, even if they aren't subscribed
to 'dspace-changelog' or watching the wiki closely.
For examples of projects which are already working/sharing code in a
more "public" manner, please see the following:
* Graham Triggs' WebMVC project:
* SVN: http://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/modules/webmvc/
* Wiki Docs:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/WebMVC+%28Freemarker%29+UI
* Robin Taylor's SWORD Client Project/Prototype:
* SVN: http://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/sandbox/sword-client-prototype/
* JIRA Issue describing it: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-602
* My (Tim Donohue's) Easy Installer Project/Prototype:
* SVN: http://scm.dspace.org/svn/repo/sandbox/installer-prototype/
* Wiki Docs:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSPACE/InstallerPrototype
* JIRA: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-802
So, I'd encourage both the CGI project/prototype and the Configurable
Reviewer workflow project/prototype to try and follow a similar public
path.

It would be good to see more documentation of the project in the wiki.
We may be able to provide more transparency and peer review on the
project if there were more detail concerning it. So far the CGI work
has about one paragraph of description. And we all appear to want to
contribute viewpoints in this area, it would be better to bring the
whole topic and the code work into center stage with greater detail on
what your up to.

I'm of the opinion that more coordination needs to occur here to make
sure we are all not on a collision course with our work. We've
already had to readjust Reviewer workflow once to adapt to Curation
tools and we will need a significant dialog with you concerning the
fact that curation tools have a bit of incompatibility with how it is
wired to hardcoded workflow stages where the configurable Reviewer
workflow is, well an non-hardcoded series of configured workflow
stages. If you have time next week, it would be great to have a skype
call or IRC chat on the topic.
TBH, I really don't think that architectural redesigns of critical
areas of DSpace should happen without significant discussion and
feedback with the community. This includes what we are about to
present with the Reviewer Workflow. I think its important to bring
this stuff into the community earlier to asure that when others want
to participate (GSoC or otherwise) theres a sufficient door open to
allow that participation. It would also allow for less replication of
effort because we are already working similar activities with Reviewer
Workflow which will be coming out shortly as well.
So, yes, I would love a look, but also, I think we want the community
to have an opportunity for peer review and possible opportunities for
GSoC students to participate in the work.
Best,
Mark

HI Mark:
You might want to keep an eye on the CGI stuff we are working on - it
essentially amounts to your option #3
(DB serialization). I should have a demo ready by OR11, but if you are
interested in 'early access', I'd be happy to give you a look.
Thanks,
Richard
