2019-07-22: Development meeting

Kacper, Mike L, Mike H, Elias, Craig, Tommy

Agenda

• Updates
• Discussions
  • Citing HTTP data discussion
    • LIGO tale as example – it won’t look any different than what’s in the data directory or manifest
    • Mike H. - Can let them edit to make it look nice?
      • Kacper: This always leads to problems
    • Craig:
      • Top-level HTTP path (or longest common path)
        • Kacper: May be confusing if it resolves to something different.
      • “This tale uses other resources”
    • Elias: API is restricted to things with DOIs
    • Kacper: Add the citation during the registration phase
    • Mike H: Agree, but need to not re-register
      • Discussion of sensitive information
      • Kacper: Design is based on public data – we never tried to create a platform to operate on purely private data.
    • Craig: Opens option to include citation in the catalog
  • Browse refactor
    • Ban circles v disabled tabs v don’t display (don’t display FTW!) (separate issues)
    • My Tales filter (separate issue)
    • Distinguish Run copy from original (separate issue)
    • Run button in Run page needs copy on launch (separate issues)
  • Access to TACC compute resources
    • XSEDE allocation?
    • NDS!
  • Is the notification stream working (as intended) for other people? I’m seeing it after the Tale container launches
  • Problem: Girder keeps going unresponsive with Angular
    • I disabled notification-stream in the UI (to rule that out), but it still seems to happen at least once per day
    • Try pulling from docker/git upstream
  • Place for ReproZip examples?
