Switch over to New Database Infrastructure: This is a system operations priority.
Status: Completed January 2018.
Author Notification of Reclassification: Add new features to provide authors with notification about reclassification of their paper. Notifications will provide information about follow-up action that is required (i.e., what action in what timeframe).
Status: Initial specification specification complete; policy questions resolved. Will be integrated into submission development.
Auto-endorsement: Shift the auto-endorsement rules to work of a single white-list of recognized email domains. Expand the list of email domains that qualify for auto-endorsement. Develop an admin interface to update the auto-endorsement list.
Status: White list complete. Deferred for integration into development of user management system/interface.
Infrastructure: New infrastructure setup and configuration to support deployment of arXiv-NG services in the cloud.
- Centralized Logging Infrastructure: classic and NG systems deposit access and application logs in a centralized log store.
Status: In progress.
- Cloud Deployment Infrastructure: implementation of service deployment and networking infrastructure. Status: In progress.
- Backup & Recovery finalization of backup and recovery strategy for NG. Status: In progress.
Submission System: Implements user interfaces and APIs for submissions in the NG architecture.
- Essential utility services: isolating essential processes from the classic system. Includes fulltext extraction, classifier, overlap detection, upload sanitization, TeX/compilation service, etc. This lays the foundation for isolating the submission system as a whole from the legacy codebase. Status: In progress.
- Submission shim: the submission UI is replaced with a Flask application that runs on the existing CUL web servers. Includes allowing users to view and rewrite notices of self-overlap prior to publish. Status: In progress.
- User experience and file transformation: improvements to user experience in the submission system, especially related to TeX compilation. Status: In progress.
- Submission API: a new interface to support programmatic submission of papers. This is part of the broader automated submission collaboration with partner organizations. May involve implementation of forthcoming version 3 of the SWORD protocol. Status: In progress.
Accounts & Authorization: Implements mechanisms for user registration, authentication, and authorization in the NG architecture.
