 ====== VuFind® Newsletter: November, 2022 ======
-:!: This document is a draft and still subject to change.
 ===== Highlights / Executive Summary =====
+November VuFind® development was once again largely focused on outstanding work required to complete the 9.0 release, with some bug fixes, accessibility improvements and minor new features mixed in. Many of the most significant changes made are "behind the scenes," such as the removal of outdated code and configuration, or the use of more modern browser capabilities to achieve tasks like real-time status display. These improvements won't be immediately obvious to end users but are important to the long-term health of the project. Some time was also invested in updating and improving GitHub Actions configurations, to make the most of code quality services available through that platform.
+The Project Management Committee met to discuss various ongoing projects. One completed task was the Community Call survey (whose results seem to affirm our current approach, and which will be discussed in more detail on the next call). Planning is now underway for a documentation survey, to be opened early next year. Other tasks still underway include planning for future fundraising, investigation of a standard translation platform, and implementation of a standard conflict of interest policy for project leadership to ensure full transparency.
