Samvera Community Update - August 2017

[mbakeryo]

• [x] Write up Samvera community update (remember to include a high-level mention of something we had to do to make Hyrax work for us)- CLARIFICATION: PER DEVS AT 8/15 SPRINT DEMO PREP, THIS WAS ONLY MEANT FOR SOMETHING WE HAD DONE DURING THAT MONTH - THUS, NO MENTION THIS MONTH
• [x] Allow for devs to review/modify
• [x] Send to Nabeela - due August 18

Looks like we're skipping July; Nabeela sent June update in early July.

This was June's update:

Fulcrum: In addition to continuing to develop the epub reader application, Cozy Sun Bear, the Fulcrum team has completed a migration to Hyrax from Curation Concerns; this will be reflected in the 2.0 release of Heliotrope, scheduled for July 10. As we have been ramping up our work on building a Platform Administrator dashboard, we're particularly interested in seeing how much of this development comes standard in Hyrax and what level of customization will be necessary to accommodate our publishing workflow.

Here's my update for August. All taken from Sprint Demo Prep docs, so hopefully it's accurate:

• Embedding Fulcrum-hosted media into Epubs, allowing video and hi-res images to be experienced in context of a responsive, valid Epub-formatted ebook with the same viewing capability as on our Samvera platform.

• Work has begun on adding a second index for full text search within specific Samvera object bitstreams (in our case, Epubs).

• Implemented a Draft mode for certain Works.

• Prevent the display of empty search facets. (If there is no metadata in a facetable category, that category will not display in the facets.)
