Development

Mike to begin incrementally adding Archivematica dashboard development, including file browser, to his workflow. Jesus will help with transition.
Archivematica 1.0 must support distributed processing infrastructure for scalability. Consider plan to go forward, report back in a couple of weeks (Mike, Joseph, Austin, Peter)
- update CVA and dev Xubuntu to 12.04 (should contribute to solving mysql dropped connections, does not automatically commit transactions like 10.04) (Joseph, Austin, Mike, Peter)
- Ceph/BtrFS to manage file systems
- swap code for iNotify for watched directories, poll MCP for changes
- log all dashboard actions
- anticipate increase in mysql write traffic over time
Move normalization in to MCP (Joseph)
Consider AIP storage protocol for interface between dashboard and storage (like SWORD for Access) (Joseph, Austin, Mike, Peter)
- duracloud APIs
- ACE
- SNIA
- GIT restAPI
Other AIP storage issues
- standardize AIP storage area requirements
- file level versus SIP-level compression (Courtney)

Deployment

Requirements for dashboard file browser to replace Thunar functionality (Joseph/Courtney)
end-user documentation, design requirements (with Balsamiq mock-ups) for indexing of transfers (wiki page), developer manual for system customization (Courtney)
