Moving Forward: Lawrence Sprint Report
The latest DDI development sprint was held in Lawrence, KS, following the IASSIST Conference. Eight participants focused on two primary tracks: evaluating the codebook view and reviewing and revising patterns. Additional work was done on rules for realization of patterns, a technical and environmental assessment for publishing the DDI, identifying a 'ready' state, recommendations for documentation, and other technical updates. The full report is available on the sprint's wiki page, along with all supporting documentation.
