Discussions

The following points of discussion came up in the meeting:

Site specific directories

@hiker has sent an email containing supporting reasons why site specific files are required. The feature is already present in baf, but it is not clear how the files should be managed. The important concerns were:

• Sites should be able to manage their own configuration files
  • Sites cannot test each others' configurations
  • It should be possible to self-review site-specific information without requiring a Met Office reviewer
• Site files should be publicly visible
  • Configurations can provide new sites with useful initial starting points
  • Files should be kept in the same repository as the application code

Branch Merging Practices

There was a discussion of the plan to create git repositories with stable and main branches. It was expected that the initial use of git would be similar to fcm, with users branching from a release tag on the stable branch.

Actions

• Finish curating the issues list (carried over)
