== Agenda ==
==== Monday ====
 * Introduction
 * 2.4 release
  * Bug fixing http://trac.osgeo.org/geonetwork/report/3
  * Check trac tickets and update them when needed
  * Create final release candidate
  * Write press release

==== Tuesday ====
 * Morning : 
  * Bluenet
  * geocat.ch
   * No large map viewer
   * Bounding box in metadata using OL
   * Search is done through CSW
   * CSW is augmented with summary search information to create a filter panel on the right column
   * Search form is created in ExtJs
   * Metadata shown in popup floating Extjs window
   * Keywords with autoselect keyword list
   * Working on using GetDomain in search
   * Harvested nodes and local groups are combined in the catalogue filter field (drop down list in the search form)
   * Complex spatial searches support for custom or predefined polygons
   * CSW test suite is passed except for the Filter "or" operator when filtering on a combination of a spatial and some other search criteria
   * Support for multilingual metadata editing
    * Languages supported are defined per metadata record. So adding a new translation to a metadata record is done within the record, no matter what the new language is
    * Search is done using a search index per language. Search will use all indexes and boost the default language.
   * Relations between parent and child are defined through a small GUI popup that allows you to search and identify the parent or child. Link will be created in both directions.
   * Context sensitive labels used in metadata
   * Suggestions lists for some free text fields. These are defined also in the labels.xml file as a helper element.
   * Validation of metadata based on different profiles and schemas. When it fails one of these validations, it is automatically unpublished if it was public before.
   * Hidden elements. Visually you can see which parts are publicly visible or not. Click on the red or green toggle button. Filter is stored in the database.
   * Reusable elements, for example contacts. A popup allows to select the contact (and even edit its properties that are then reflected on the other metadata pointing to the same contact)
   * Draft Z3950 harvester
   * GM03 Catalog Gateway Protocol (SwissTopo) harvester (catalogs supporting this will be replaced with CSW catalogs)
   * Statistics pages to review some user behavior, using numbers & graphics

  * GéoSource : Mathieu & Francois
   * A new Keyword selection panel where you select the thesaurus and then start searching and adding keywords to the metadata
   * ISO19110 support. Maintained as separate but related records. Discussion if this could be handled within one and the same record.

  * Geonovum NGR: Jeroen & Heikki & Jose
   * No concept of a logged on user with more search privileges. The logged on user can publish metadata, all content will be available only to guest users.
   * Suggestion to not abuse the group concept or organizations, but refine the model used.
   * Sorting on keywords
   * UUID clashes are resolved after the clash happens, to avoid the need to take an action in advance when there may be no need.

  * ebRIM: Erik, Heikki & Jose
   * Maven presentation
   * hibernate and sping

 * Afternoon :
  * plenary presentations

==== Wednesday (proposal) ====
 * Morning :
  * Testing framework in Jeeves: Just
  * Marketing: GN has no real logo, and the banner looks eighties (how subjective is that ;-) )
  * Create an OSGeo sponsor program (see [http://www.gdal.org/sponsorship.html GDAL sponsorship]) or a foundation for !GeoNetwork to support some common bug fixing & tasks

 * Afternoon : 
  * Maven integration

== Items suggested ==
 * !GeoNetwork 
  * v2.5
   * unit testing : Just made nice Jeeves service unit testing using JUnit and XMLUnit
   * Validation report / Schematron & XSD
   * Multilingual support
   * UI use ExtJS or not ? !OpenLayers, !GeoExt, !MapFish ?
   * Keyword selector (if !ExtJs)
   * organisation/group logo
   * hidden elements
   * Feature catalog support
   * !ExtJs editor interface?
   * split out language packages (define the format for such structure)
   * split out the metadata profiles in packages (define the format for such structure)
   * move away from Druid database format files to SQL for installer & default content
  * 3.x :
   * Modularized structure
   * Domain-driven approach
   * Great unit test coverage
   * Use of Maven, Spring, Hibernate, Hibernate Search, Axis2
   * No more Jeeves, and no more (or less) XSLT for the GUI. But how to achieve it?

=== Improvements / Performance ===
 * replace lucene.xsl by Java : Heikki
 * view metadata = update popularity = index again : Jose made it asynch
 * indexing : allow partial update index for a document ? eg. only one field like popularity ?
 * CSW : !GetRecords / XSL run record by record
 * One key objective should be a significant improvement of the search speed
