Frictionless Data Community Call March 2024
On our last community call was on March 21st, we continued discussing the Frictionless Standards update with community members. As a reminder, thanks to the generous support of NLnet (opens new window), the Frictionless core team, together with a working group composed of members of the community, is now working on a v2 of the Frictionless Standards. Read the announcement blog (opens new window) to know more about it.
# Working group discussion
We are very excited we are getting closer to the first Data Package v2 draft release! We closed almost 30 issues already, and only have a few pending items to address for the draft release (opens new window), mainly to do with Table Dialect (see issue #344 (opens new window), #697 (opens new window), #681 (opens new window)). During the call we discussed with the working group how to split the last remaining items in order to release the v2 draft already by the beginning of April.
For a full overview of the items that the working group tackled on the call, you can have a look at our live tracker on GitHub (opens new window), or watch the recording linked here below.
A few issues were moved out of the draft release to be rather included in the final release (opens new window), which is planned for June. One example is versioning, which was discussed in the last call (opens new window). As versioning is a brand new element, it will require more time to be tackled. We are currently working on a solid proposal to discuss with the working group next month.
