General development discussion (trends, ideas, ...)
- REST api: Proposal to vote for: allowing devs working on the REST api implementation to change attribute names so they are more meaningfull for api consumers. For example, rename 'borrowernumber' for 'patron_id'. Pros: we can provide a readable API spec, and people unfamiliar to Koha internals will have better time using the api. Cons: some people might be using the current (3) endpoints and would need to change some attribute names.
- sql strict mode is now the default in MariaDB - https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/sql-mode/ Do we continue closing our eyes or do we take care of the problems? Tasks: Wiki need to be updated
- Elasticsearch status: https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Elasticsearch_status#Elasticsearch_status_.28Updated_2017-12-07.29
- Javascript in footer: many patches pushed to master now, some patches touching templates may need rebase
Review of coding guidelines
- Don't use DBIX calls in updatedatabase (see Bug 19789, Bug 17292)
- Reminder - git commit messages ('Bug 12345: ', '(follow-up)', '(QA follow-up)', see git log) + what the patch does vs what the bug is.
