What new features are being currently developed?

Tufts metadata standalone editor

The idea is to be able to run a standalone metadata editor that doesn't have the rest of the features: csw server, search, harvesting,...

Current status: Working but not so easy to pull request to GeoNetwork. Working on it.

Nexus for GeoNetwork artifacts

Based on the standalone editor, we created a maven artifact repository where GeoNetwork jars can be deployed. This way, we can create customized versions of GeoNetwork without having to git clone the full repository.

Current status: Deployed, but not official.

ETL: Automatic Extraction of shp/gml/kml/...

There are a couple of systems (EC, Tufts) that read an original GIS file and then create the metadata associated to it. We should decide which one to use, polish it and merge it back to GeoNetwork.

Separated maven project for customizations (UI, services)

The idea is to be able to customize GeoNetwork without having to modify the source code of GeoNetwork. Overriding the UI amd adding new services with the event system.

Current status: Documentation ongoing.

Join/Reject Group Privileges

Trying to make GeoNetwork more social, groups is something we can make more dynamic. Groups should have a boolean to indicate if they are public or not. And it they are public (or we can say: they accept users), then a user should have an option to request joining that group.

This join can be made automatically or maybe some useradmin of the group should be able to accept or reject the request.

We also need some configuration to be able to disable it.

Things we should focus on

While reviewing some of the new features we are working on, some other features popped out as interesting to many parties.

What to do with new translations

When we get requested to add a new language to GeoNetwork, what are the requirements the translation should meet to be allowed on Transifex? We agreed that we need to force at least a high percentage (85%?) of the translation already done to allow a new language.

Good practices on developing

It would be good to write some documentation on good practices and how to develop against GeoNetwork. Not only to developers of GeoNetwork, but also to people who extend it by customizations.

List of UI examples on Documentation

We need some place where we can check public URLs of different skins on GeoNetwork.

Document UI features not in default

Some features on the UI are not enabled by default. We need some kind of documentation so we know they exist and they are available.

Angular documentation (GN modules)

We should document the different angular modules of GeoNetwork, so adding new features is not very complex. At least, we should have some indication where to start.
