Attending: Markus Beh, Matthias Edel, Leila Gonzales, Chris Hallberg, Demian Katz
No new tickets since last time.
Demian and Chris have begun some conversations with the FOLIO community about data loading strategies; University of Chicago may be able to help test the work so far.
Discussion and progress continues on vufind-browse-handler PR #23. It appears that some improvements can be made in time for 5.1, with a larger refactoring (including interface changes) being handled for 6.0.
Demian has posted some more detailed thoughts on VUFIND-1309.
Demian has finished reviewing the improved feedback forms, so this will be included in 5.1.
The next scheduled call would be New Year's Day. We will skip that and resume conversations on January 15, 2019.
Chris is looking into tools and techniques for a future “progressive” theme. Goals include more modular CSS. Chris is working on a “vision board” of ideas for this; he will share if possible. He welcomes suggestions and feedback.
Chris is also thinking about improved accessibility of developers call minutes. Suggestion: consider recording meetings for posting after the fact and possible transcription.
Leila suggested that transcription-only might be a good place to start; she has had good experience with YouTube auto-transcription. YouTube currently makes transcription download very convenient. Other tools are also available.
We will experiment with recording next month's call as a proof of concept.
Leila is going to have more time for VuFind development soon and will look at getting new geographic features onto the project board (such as polygon-based searches).
Leila has noticed some memory leaks in her VuFind 4.1 Solr instance. She will try upgrading to VuFind 5 (with Solr 7) to see if that makes a difference.
Leila also still has containerization of VuFind using Docker on her to-do list but has been too busy to make progress yet.
The next call will be Tuesday, January 15, 2019 at 9am Eastern Standard Time (14:00 GMT).
