Demian has drafted a schedule for a two-day Summit, has set up the Zoom sessions, and has opened registration.
We should continue to follow up with WOLFcon to learn about 2023 plans, so we can make an announcement at the end of the Summit.
Demian has shared the latest quarterly web analytics with the group, in case they reveal any useful patterns. (He has not had time to analyze them himself).
Susan Turkel, a member of Demian's team at Villanova, has thoroughly reviewed the Installations List and has brought it up to date. If your instance is on the list, please review it for accuracy (since some details cannot be fully verified by examination from the outside).
Demian also spent some time researching Dokuwiki plugins to help with page management. He suggested that perhaps the struct structured data plug-in could be used to create a “page owner” field, which could be used to assign maintainers to pages, and to allow maintainers to review their list of assigned pages. He volunteered to test this out.
Demian was not able to easily find a plugin for displaying a warning on older pages, so he asked about it in a forum post and received a suggestion to use custom JS to do the job. Chris will attempt to implement this.
Demian noted that a new release candidate of Dokuwiki was just released, so it seems very likely that the full release will be available in time for the PHP 7 end of life – good news for the sustainability of the current wiki.
Demian has finished pull request #2467, which has been merged, allowing the InTech Open page to be updated.
Remaining content assignments:
The vufind.org email domain is now fully functional. Some questions discussed. We can set up custom vufind.org email addresses as needed. Do we want an address for pmc? What about for code of conduct? Anything else? Does anyone else want to receive forwarded messages from info@vufind.org?
André asked about traffic levels at info@vufind.org – currently very low is it has not been advertised yet.
Leila asked about how difficult it is to change forwarding; Demian explained that it's based in Gmail, so fairly straightforward (though we would need to coordinate credential sharing if there's a change in responsibility; Demian can do it for now).
After discussion: Demian will set up info@vufind.org to forward to entire PMC, rather than create overhead by making multiple addresses. If traffic becomes too high, we can revisit/split addresses.
Nearly all translations have come in, and the only remaining open PR (#2400) has been deferred to 9.0 (since it is non-critical and might cause problems if we do not have time to test it sufficiently). Demian will package the new release later this week, and it is expected to go out on schedule.
Next month, we should start to discuss 9.0 scheduling.
Demian has created an RSP wiki page and has linked it from the membership levels and benefits page. He decided not to set up further links until we have had time to discuss and make progress on outstanding issues.
He has also installed the bureaucracy plugin to allow forms, and Craig has begun work on the application form.
Next steps:
Should we run a new survey about the content/timing of the Community Call?
Demian volunteered to draft a possible survey. Leila volunteered to help with implementation.
Some other possible items for the future:
None this time.
