Issues
https://github.com/ckan/ckan/issues/1557 - general agreement
https://github.com/ckan/ckan/issues/1551 - this was a rename of the URL
field. It is the original place of the metadata / home page for the data /
more info on the dataset. That’s what the harvesting code uses that for -
the harvest source? Maybe need to split this field off.
https://github.com/ckan/ckan/pull/1187 Needs explaining. Should be renamed
back to URL. Kindly
https://github.com/ckan/ckan/issues/1550 can use javascript. Vitor
https://github.com/ckan/ckan/issues/1549 create a separate validator with a
better message Joe
https://github.com/ckan/ckan/issues/1548 adria: thought that was fixed.
Adria
https://github.com/ckan/ckan/issues/1546 agreement. good for contrib
https://github.com/ckan/ckan/issues/1545 agreement. difficult to have a
facet, but could do a filter on the dashboard page. nigel.
https://github.com/ckan/ckan/issues/1543 adria - hide the field for the
time being, in case someone’s using. adria
https://github.com/ckan/ckan/issues/1542 suggest doing a cookie check -
send another cookie. should get rid of openid mention. good for contrib
https://github.com/ckan/ckan/issues/1541 glyph icons. no alt text possible?
ross to reply
https://github.com/ckan/ckan/issues/1540 good for contrib
https://github.com/ckan/ckan/issues/1539 old templates, needs new template.
trash generally needs refactor - no good when there are lots of datasets.
kindly suggests automatically purge deleted datasets after a certain period
of being touched to stop a build-up. paster command needed to do this. how
about prefixing the name with the uuid on deletion, so the namespace is
cleared. then undelete and remove those chars if possible. issue with
harvester having a foreign key to the dataset - would need to delete the
harvest_object. discuss next meeting
https://github.com/ckan/ckan/issues/1537 good for contrib
https://github.com/ckan/ckan/issues/1536 sounds like a good extension to
have. are you happy to do it?
https://github.com/ckan/ckan/issues/1535 sean: this is a persona ckan
extensino which already does this. nigel/adria: keen to have this in core.
user would need a new column for the key.

General Questions
wardi: dashboard is slow. kindly suggested the creator field added to the
solr index, and use solr to display it (rather than db). should add drafts
to the search index too.

hardening ckan actions against DoS -wardi. general appreciation of this.
encourage an audit of all api functions and add hard limits and ensure
paging is available. activity stream is slow for large offsets - not sure
how to avoid as it has lots of joins and nested query.

action api dataset, group, tag fields r/o vs. r/w vs.
kept-same-if-not-written -wardi. to discuss next time.

nigel: bug in latest solr / jdk for entity passing/parsing, entity
expansion limit gets hit earlier. blows up after indexing a certain number
of documents. nigel has a fix prepared. Is due to a security patch to java,
which broken some XML parsing.

Chair: David Raznick
Notes:

#1530 Agree in improving this, probably using  pbkdf2 as it is simple and
has good python library. Reset keys to be regenerated and expired.

General Questions
Start discussion around file store backends
Possibly change meeting start time for Samuel
Hangouts, mumble
