    1. SLACK discussion: https://join.slack.com/t/tripal-project/shared_invite/enQtNDExNDU1NzUxOTI3LTNlOTg1MTNjZGQ1NjRmNGQxMWRjOGVjN2IwMjQyOTc2ODZlYWM2OTQxM2Y1ZWM1MmFkNWJhOGEwN2RkZjdkNGU

  3. Introduction to GitHub Issue Discussions

    1. https://github.com/tripal/tripal/issues

    2. Choose label "discussion".  Quick link: https://github.com/tripal/tripal/labels/discussion

  4. Tripal Content Types

    1. Issue: https://github.com/tripal/tripal/issues/441

    2. Spreadsheet:  https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wJbekYwaw4qULHdjh4hapWwrj82-w9IqiHs_1flr3iM/edit#gid=0

    3. Add fieldsets to organize content types… perhaps by module.

      1. If not fieldset, some organization method so that creating content isnt overwhelming.

    4. Sites have the power to remove/not install content types you dont care about.

    5. Sites can change the label to suit their needs, and the term will be the same across sites.

    6. Having default content types encourages use of similar terms for cross-site data sharing.

    7. Sites have the power to use different terms if they choose.

      1. But we discourage this since it reduces cross-site compatibility.

    8. Once we have a list of cv term assignments for all Chado tables/columns, we would like to put it to the Chado community for comment.

    9. Chris had wanted a

      1. linking table between organism and analysis

        1. There’s already a module! **Cheers -thanks statonlab!** https://github.com/statonlab/tripal_manage_analyses

        2. This module needs a bit of work to make it more shareable.  Considering there’s a couple of groups who want to use it, i’ll make that a priority. (bradford)

      2. Apollo/JBrowse integration

        1. JBrowse module:  https://github.com/tripal/tripal_jbrowse

        2. Made quite a bit of progress with JBrowse community to make it natively embededable! It should now be possible so that’s the next plan for the above module.

        3. Bradford had mentioned that the statonlab would be interested in collaborating on this since hardwood genomics would love it. Lacey is very excited about this :-)

    10. Ideas:  Core includes all definitions.  It seperates them into general topics via fieldsets.

    11. Discussion: bloat is a major concern.  Benefits: Now when someone installs tripal, they see that hey there’s a breeding module!  
      The bundles aren’t enabled by default but listed with links to “Install this module to use these contents?”
       

  5. PHP/Drupal/Tripal Pro's/Con's

    1. Issue: https://github.com/tripal/tripal/issues/461

    2. Spreadsheet:

  6. General discussion on what fields/formatters should go in core?

    1. Specifically, https://github.com/tripal/tripal/issues/523 :-)

  7. Project-wide style update

    1. formatting style (code style).

    2. Fear of breaking everything right before our stable release (stephen, shared by Lacey)

    3. Let’s do it after the stable release then :-)

      1. 3.1 or bust

      2. https://github.com/tripal/tripal/issues/310
