What jurisdiction? - PKP Hosting needs this plugin for clients; if PKP doesn't maintain it, Hosting probably will. - Second option seems best to the TC. - Plugin gallery xml. Visible before installation; can be updated quickly. PR would go to: https://github.com/pkp/plugin-gallery - Plugin description. Would need to ship with plugin. - Business Intelligence FOSS products for report generation from SQL without SQL knowledge (OLAT tools / Report generating) - https://widestage.com/ - https://www.lincebi.com - https://www.knowage-suite.com - https://superset.apache.org - Analytics workgroup? - No advances. - Polling/feature request additions to PKP support forum - Related with the GitHub Projects work Alec-Bozana-Nate are doing - Could be a good way of capturing/articulating perspectives and priorities from different stakeholders. - Perhaps also feature requests from the community? - Perhaps an area for items that aren't suitable for PKP to write, but might be grantable? - Transparency is important even if resources aren't available yet - Alec to present next month with possibilities for representing perspectives in Github projects. - Technical Committee supports the addition of a voting tool in the support forum for feature requests.
