h1. Deploy by end of Y2Q4
h1. Member Node Deployment Tracking
This project is used to track and document the process of evaluating, implementing, and deploying new Member Nodes. It is also used to identify actions needed for operational Member Nodes.
h2. MNs in Process of Deployment
h2. Operational MNs
h2. Deployment Workflow
The workflow for MNDeployment issues roughly follows the workflow from the diagram above, and is:
+-------------------+
| |
V |
New <--> Review --> In Progress <--> Testing <--> Operational --> Deprecated
| | | |
+----------+------------+-------------------+
|
V
Rejected
h2. New
The member node is proposed and perhaps there has been some initial discussion.
h2. Review
The member node application is in the process of review which may include iteration of information gathering sufficient to determine whether to continue with the implementation path or to reject the application.
Each member node should have an accompanying member node description document, the template for which can be found at: http://www.dataone.org/become-member-node
h2. In Progress
An agreement has been reached and the member node software, data connections and other aspects are in active development and testing iteration.
h2. Testing
The member node software and installation are undergoing acceptance testing prior to becoming operational.
h2. Operational
The node is operational and participating in the production environment.
h2. Deprecated
The node is in the process of, or has been deprecated and thus is no longer participating in the production environment.
h2. Rejected.
The potential node has been found to be unable to participate in DataONE for some reason technical or otherwise.
