2020 12 14 MerMEId Community Call #1
Peter Stadler (host), Kristina Richts, Martin Albrecht-Hohmaier, Ulrike Henny; Kevin Page, David Lewis (Oxford e-Research Center), Benjamin W. Bohl, Margarethe Støkken Bue (National Library of Norway, Oslo), Daniel Schopper, Zsófia Abraham, Clemens Gubsch, Marlene Peterlechner (ACDH-CH ÖAW, Vienna)
maintainance and further development of original version of MerMEId has stalled due to originators having to drop out; there are running instances which need to be maintained and there's interest from new projects. Peter Stadler and the team from ÖAW have started refactoring the architecture to make deployment easier, however longer term maintainability will be a question of a community effort. Planning the first release of the MerMEId 2.0 community edition with no new features but a renewed architecture: replace the original setup of tomcat + orbeon + existdb with orbeonform servlet deployed inside of existdb’s jetty. A sandbox version (which is automatically deployed from the current dev branch) is available at https://mermeid.edirom.de/ (user: mermeid, password: mermeid)
OTOH the upgrade/maintainance affects not only software but also the data model, thus the MEI metadata SIG plays an important part here.
idea: have a community call on a monthly basis to coordinate on developments
- new channel #MerMEId on MEI-Slack
- Github: https://github.com/Edirom/MerMEId
- Sandbox installation at https://mermeid.edirom.de
- versioning support (via eXgit?)

- modularity
- contributor guidelines
- Margarethe Støkken Bue: IT department hasn’t managed to deploy
- Kevin Page, David Lewis: how to handle version upgrades or migration ? broken old version, new upcoming project (in ~ 1 year’s time, might contribute to development then) –
Peter: MerMEId is both an editor and publishing tool – would prefer to drop the publishing part – David: default publishing component is appealing for small projects.
