There was some discussion of PR #1335. Ere pointed out that it's important to allow the user to override the default pickup location when placing requests, since users sometimes have good reasons to do this (i.e. they are member of main library but live closer to branch library). He will review whether his instance is using any custom code around pickup locations, or whether the existing default VuFind logic is meeting local needs.
Demian plans to investigate refactoring pickup-related logic to a service for centralization, unless someone objects.
No news.
No news.
Demian has been focusing on improving the SierraRest ILS driver in support of a local project.
Chris inquired whether there was a desire to move to a single CSS-related language, since the current system uses LESS as a primary option but also ports to SCSS for flexibility, and this requires some extra maintenance work. It seems that there are still significant needs for both formats, and taking either one away would cause significant inconvenience for someone. Demian suggested that it may be best to stick with the status quo for now, especially since recent SCSS work has introduced a more flexible mechanism for working around limitations of the automatic conversion. If we are going to make a drastic change, rather than choosing between one of two fairly contemporary technologies, it may be better to wait until there is something substantially better (such as a future hypothetical development that leverages native browser support more effectively) before investing effort in this.
The next call will be Tuesday, March 26, 2019 at 9am Eastern Daylight Time (13:00 GMT).
