Feature requests/opportunities for collaboration: Mike: upgrades to metacat 2.0.7, some people have upgraded but it isn't on "that page" - see metacatdev. Mark: most of the time hear it through the grapevine, but most often go to the ecoinformatics source repository Laura: ask Dave/Matt/Ben about this, copy Mike and Mark Mike: is there a way to check that we're on the correct dev list (i.e. metacat, etc.) Laura: ask Dave/Matt about this This is the mail list, not sure if this is the one we need to be looking at: http://lists.nceas.ucsb.edu/ecoinformatics/mailman/listinfo Mike: Thomson Reuters SOLR query to get PISCO data, TR says "we're getting blank stuff", Mike says they seem to be getting different results from the same query, ... is there good documentation for how to use SOLR query somewhere? How do we format a query to get reliable results? Laura: ask around re: documentation for SOLR query, get back w/Mike and document here 4. MN showcase: If you would like to share what your MN is about, please add here. Member Nodes who are present, please discuss your status: Dryad (Ryan): we are in the final stages of getting integrated, registered test node, documented/sent to developers issues with registration process, couple of minor issues to be investigated (& encoding, indexing), bigger issue: which parts of API need to be using SSL; ~1 year ago, request from Matt Jones (?) to use SSL for everything, Ryan proceeding thusly, but Tier 1 doesn't require SSL, so implementing without SSL. Mike: experienced same thing with PISCO's implementation Ryan: Dryad data being harvested as we speak (we think). Ryan: at DUG on Sunday, then at Open Repositories conference (selling DataONE - Laura to get info to Ryan), also looking at ... Dspace... LTER (Mark): shakedown phase between generic MN and PASTA, coming to end, hope to be live/in production by end of July; may still need to talk to Dave/Matt about transition from metacat to a GMN. PISCO (Mike): upgraded server SSL certificates, went well; still working on MatLab and running LibClient API from there; working with Chris Jones; working with SOLR queries last few days, will be useful.
