Attending: Filipe Bento, Demian Katz, David Maus, Ronan McHugh, Benjamin Mosior, Sean Purcell

===== Agenda =====

==== 1. New/Updated JIRA Tickets ====

  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-443|VUFIND-443]] - Filipe has shared a patch here to display public lists in the Browse module.
  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-625|VUFIND-625]] - This ticket proposes a workflow fix related to accessing favorites with Shibboleth authentication.
  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-626|VUFIND-626]] - This ticket discusses multi-lingual sorting issues in the Solr schema configuration.
  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-627|VUFIND-627]] - This ticket points out a hard-coded field name in the advanced search code which should be made more flexible.
  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-628|VUFIND-628]] - This ticket includes a patch that fixes a display order problem caused when multiple facet-related recommendation modules display the same facet field.  The fix has not been committed yet pending more testing.
  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-629|VUFIND-629]] - This patch uses [[http://viaf.org/|VIAF]] to disambiguate Wikipedia author names.
  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-630|VUFIND-630]] - This ticket reports a problem with Wikipedia regular expression processing (it seems to be a Windows-specific PHP bug).
  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-631|VUFIND-631]] - This ticket points out the fact that list creation date is not being populated in the MySQL database even though the field exists.
  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-632|VUFIND-632]] - This ticket complains about the presence of URL encoded characters in VuFind's print view; unfortunately, since these characters are necessary to make the URLs valid, there doesn't seem to be a solution -- Demian has closed the ticket as "Won't Fix."

==== 2. VuFind 2.0 Update ====

Demian has continued porting code over to Zend Framework 2.  [[http://blog.library.villanova.edu/libtech/2012/07/19/moving-vufind-to-zend-framework-2-part-4-command-line-tools/|Command line tools]], database models, lightboxes and record tabs are all becoming more functional (though many details still need to be filled in).  In the process, he has submitted a few small bug fixes to the framework itself -- hopefully a small step in the direction of collaborating with the broader ZF community.

==== 3. VuFind Developers Summit 2012 ====

No news this week.

==== 4. Open Data / Shared Central Index ====

No news this week.

==== 5. Next Meeting Date? ====

Demian will be on vacation on August 7, the normal date for the next meeting.  The group decided to postpone until 8/21.

==== 6. Other Topics? ====

Filipe shared his solution for displaying external content in a lightbox -- he created a web/services/External/Generic.php that generates an iframe pointing to a URL passed in as a GET parameter, and then called this using a variation of the standard lightbox Javascript code.

===== Next Call =====

The next call will be Tuesday, August 21, 2012 at 10am Eastern Daylight Time (14:00 GMT).
