- Identifying potential bugs with existing Islandora IR-oriented modules
- Identifying functionality that is desired but missing from existing Islandora IR-oriented modules
- Collaboratively defining functional requirements for new Islandora IR-oriented modules
- Collaboratively developing new Islandora IR-oriented modules
- Working with the Islandora Documentation Interest Group to improve any documentation related to Islandora's use as an IR
- The interest group will edit documents via the shared Google Drive folder
- The interest group will meet once a month virtually via Zoom (https://jh.zoom.us/j/2199338265 )
- The conveners will produce a report to be submitted to the Islandora Roadmap Committee following the IIRIG's meetings.
There is a Zoom call on the third Thursday of each month at 2-3PM EST which can be joined via this URL: https://jh.zoom.us/j/2199338265 . The agenda for the next meeting can always be found at http://bit.ly/irig-next-meeting-agenda. All previous note can be found here.
Each meeting of the IIRIG will be chaired by a different interest group member on a rotating basis, allowing all members a chance to bring their unique perspective to the group. Each meeting will also have a note taker, either by volunteer or selected by the chair, who will also be the chair for the following meeting.
- Create agenda for upcoming meeting (make a copy a previous meeting from the /meetings folder to use as a template)
- Post an email to the islandora Google Group/mailing list on the Monday before a meeting to remind members of the upcoming meeting and also to solicit agenda items from other members
- Start the meeting call and give an overview of the agenda
- Select a note taker (ask for volunteers, if none speak up try to nominate someone who has not chaired a meeting before)
- Introduce agenda items (attempt to keep discussions on track and timed proportionately so that all agenda items may be discussed)
- Keep track of important topics of discussion, which special attention to the results of questions put to the group or tasks to be done (and who has been assigned said task if applicable)
- Add notes to the meeting agenda under a section called "Notes" as soon as possible after the meeting
