===== 3. Documentation =====

==== Maintenance Plan ====

The [[community:documentation_maintenance:popular_pages|popular pages]] list review is complete.

Chris has built a script to automatically generate the [[community:documentation_maintenance:outdated_pages|outdated pages]] list, and Demian has begun updating pages. Help from others would be appreciated! At present, the generation script is only being run manually; however, it could easily be automated if we want to use a particular schedule (daily? hourly?).

==== Page Updates ====

Demian and Mohan should update the DOAJ page and create a NepJol page based on their experiments.

Work is still pending on the PubMed Central "open data sources" page. Mohan also plans to contribute documentation related to integrating SubjectsPlus (which has example XSLT import configs in the project) and Moodle (which is still being researched).

==== Artificial Intelligence ====

No news.

==== PMC Article ====

No news.

===== 4. Accessibility =====

Demian has launched the [[:accessibility|Accessibility wiki page]]. André added some helpful links.

Chris will begin work on VPAT development today.

===== 5. Fundraising =====

==== Book Publishing ====

Chris has begun prototyping a "supports VuFind®" logo for Mohan's book project.

Ere suggested the green variation might need dark or outlined text for better contrast.

Reaction was positive; Chris will adjust the text and export file formats for sharing.

Demian will build the "books" page and share for discussion.
===== 6. Training =====

Mohan's next training (post-WOLFcon) will be held in Sri Lanka. He will submit travel expenses for reimbursement soon.

===== 7. WOLFcon / Summit 2024 =====

Demian flies out to London on Friday, September 20th!

Discussion: How should we address the sponsor meeting? Demian will reach out; we can accommodate something at the Summit if necessary.
===== 8. Possible Future Actions =====

Some other possible items for the future:

  * "Good first issue" highlighting
  * Outreach to forks for new feature contributions
