 ===== Highlights / Executive Summary ===== ===== 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 [[https://psalm.dev/|Psalm]] static analysis tool into VuFind's continuous integration workflow, which should help improve the application's use of types, among other things.
