VuFind Newsletter: October, 2020

Highlights / Executive Summary

October was spent working through the outcomes of the VuFind Summit. A large number of JIRA tickets have been opened to capture ideas and conversations from the event (see the “Issue Report / Discussion Only” section below). Please help us prioritize and complete this work by voting/commenting on issues that are important to you, and by taking ownership of tickets that you are willing and able to help complete. Additionally, a group of volunteers have come together to begin talking about VuFind community structure and sustainability. This conversation will be a major focus of the next Community Call, so please join us there if you wish to participate in the discussion.

Outside of Summit-related activity, a large number of fixes and enhancements have been merged during the month, as summarized below, and development has begun on a few new features (including a CSV import tool and a log writer for Office365 webhooks). Work has also begun on integrating the Psalm static analysis tool into VuFind's continuous integration workflow, which should help improve the application's use of types, among other things.
