Book versions
We want to focus on the book versions proposal in today's meeting, with the aim of answering any questions that the NCBI team has, and hopefully getting sign off on the proposal. The proposal is here and the main issue is here. Many issues relate to book versions since it reaches across the whole codebase, so we need to finalise the proposal as soon as possible to clear related priority issues for development.
Update on the next release
We will do a release tomorrow which will include priority fixes related to metadata, priority design improvements, and a handful of related bugs and design improvements which made sense to tackle at the same time and which weren't blocked by the pending book versions proposal.
PDF2XML vendor permissions
If we get confirmation of the PDF2XML vendor permissions in #721 (closed) (request here) we can schedule the related development alongside book versions, which once done will complete the PDF2XML Vendor actions Epic. We don't need to discuss this today as the focus can remain book versions, I'm just raising it in case we can get confirmation this week.
