EOL Development Processes Kristen Lans Biodiversity Informatics Group Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, MA klans@eol.org
Improve publishing feedback process in content partner registry • Use the source element to create the source link for images • Create a 'Harvest Tonight' button in Content Partner Resource page • Provide an option for users to filter images by species in their chosen hierarchy • Edit the user preferences page to add a "Filter content to this hierarchy" checkbox • Edit the query which looks for images for a page to limit to species in the primary hierarchy • Edit the random images calls to only show images of species or leaf nodes when this option is selected • Consistently apply SPM categories/terminology across different EOL schema uses • Headings Menu in the Add New text tool should reflect SPM categories • Upgrade Prototype JS framework • Enable intelligent, compiled rendering of literature references throughout the website using existing algorithms • Species extinction clock • Add LookAlikes category to the SPM items in the EOL Taxon Resource Transfer Schema documentation
How are we doing it? Tools • JIRA: a project management and issue tracking system • Wiki for documentation Processes • Planning every 2 or 3 weeks • Daily ‘stand-up’ meetings • Including Stakeholders
Planning Meeting • Demo: agile development shows incremental progress • Review: how did it go? Improve process • Plan: What is most important for the next 2-3 weeks? • JIRA Planning Board demo
Day-to-day • Every morning a SHORT meeting to say: -What did I do yesterday? -What am I doing today? -Blockers? • JIRA Task Board demo
New tickets are ‘Unscheduled’ • Stays there until complete (we have to be able to plan it to do it) • ‘Needs Feedback’ • Story and Acceptance Criteria • Prototype/Review • Release
