Notes from the planning session on 10 January 2018.

Github milestones and issues have been updated to reflect this initial plan. This will change over time.

Sequencing

Some thoughts on ordering releases. Note:

  • effort has not been estimated so some releases may be too big or small
  • two releases have external dependencies ⚠️ and if these cannot be coordinated then other release candidates may be considered
  • the answers to some questions may influence scope

0.9.0 🐛 (funded out of v2)

Fix bugs that cause incorrect application behaviour

  • 263 Column properties not updated immediately after Guess Column Properties
  • 298 Delete column does not delete column properties correctly
  • 189 Next / Prev Column arrows don't recognise a column has been added

Fix bugs that can create an invalid data package

When these bugs are fixed, valid data packages will be produced for comma separated value files. CSV dialect support is required for tab and semi-colon separated files

Properties not exported correctly:

  • 141 Missing values written incorrectly to datapackage.json
  • 301 null Foreign key properties written to datapackage.json
  • 209 null Sources properties written to datapackage.json

Unable to correctly enter or remove properties:

  • 108 Enable entry of pattern format values for date/time types
  • 325 Unable to remove Primary Key

Properties not validated:

  • 258 Validate that Constraints have associated values
  • 314 Validate RDF Type property as a URI
  • 320 Validate Source properties

Data validation not correct:

  • 311 Unique constraint is not validated. (Could be a tableschema.js shortcoming)
  • 272 Primary Key is unique is not validated
  • 302 Foreign key relationship is not validated

Fix user interface

  • 321 Error message styling in Package Properties
  • 317 Side and Bottom panel should push (not cover) main content
  • 129 Make Description box in Column Properties larger
  • 327 READY - Header Row Shortcut
  • 323 READY - Column Property Styling
  • 268 READY - About menu appears twice

  • 218 TSV file in exported Data Package should have correct format and CSV Dialect
  • 324 add Contributor properties to Data Package

      • "title" : "organisation name"
      • "email" : "opendata@example.com"
    • Contributors (author):

v1.4.0 Create Enum Constraint from Column ✨

  • 204 Create Enum Constraint from Column

v1.5.0 Create lookup table from column ✨

  • 284 Open datapackage.json.

Integration ✨ ⚠️

Dependent on ckanext-datapackager changes.

  • 3 CKAN Integration

  • support other properties in specification image, created, homepage
  • limit data package name to 2-100 characters to match the CKAN constraint
  • see https://hackmd.io/s/rkYHnQYQf

This will require data.qld.gov.au to install the following CKAN extensions:
