Submitting an Issue or Feature Request
The Technical Subcommittee on Encoded Archival Standards (TS-EAS) addresses community-submitted requests on an ongoing basis. Archivists may submit requests for bug fixes or new features for consideration by the subcommittee using either of the tools below.
A brief tutorial about this process is available.
Requests may be submitted using the form linked from the Encoded Archival Description or Encoded Archival Context-Corporate bodies, Persons, and Families websites for any of the standards maintained by TS-EAS. Submissions should detail the issue, including information on reproducing the bug and your institutional operating environment. Suggestions for rectifying the issue may also be included. This information will then be transferred to GitHub by the subcommittee for tracking purposes.
The Web form is available at (https://www2.archivists.org/standards/TS-EAS-report-an-issue).
Requests may also be directly in GitHub under the relevant standard. For example, issues and feature requests for Encoded Archival Description should be submitted under EAD3 (https://github.com/SAA-SDT/EAD3/issues), or under EAC-CPF (https://github.com/SAA-SDT/eac-cpf-schema/issues). Submissions should include the following information:
- Name and institution of reporter
- Desired change
- Suggested solution
- Steps to reproduce issue (for bugs)
- Institutional context
- Operating environment
A template for issue reports is available at (https://github.com/SAA-SDT/EAD3/issues/new).
The appropriate team of TS-EAS will review and evaluate requests as they are received, seek additional information when necessary, and conduct discussion of requests in GitHub issue threads.
