Hi all, I sent an email to the catalogers list last week noting a few Cataloging bugfixes that Equinox wrote patches for at last week's hackfest. [1] Additionally, there were several other Cataloging-related bugs that Equinox employees wrote patches for over the past few weeks. [2] These were all done as community bugfixes.
I also circulated a list of further bugs that need addressing in order to improve Cataloging in the web client. Based on feedback from the Cataloging Interest Group and others in the community, I have revised the list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BpcmUp_IbManRwRAf873zJOaKG--1eAmtDTLyzcK13M/edit?usp=sharing Equinox is seeking funding partners to address these bugs as part of a Cataloging Bugfix project. We are committed to addressing as many of the bugs on this list as possible with the funding we secure, with the goal of including these in the 3.2 release (and backported as appropriate). We will be creating a public testing environment where these patches can be tested as they are completed. Anyone who is interested in signing on to this project, please contact me on- or off-list as is your preference. I'm also happy to answer any questions anyone might have.
