 ===== Highlights / Executive Summary ===== ===== Highlights / Executive Summary =====
 +
 +January's VuFind® development was focused on progress toward the 9.0 release (including completion of another scheduled new feature, a configurable sort tie-breaker field for Solr) as well as accessibility improvements and bug fixes. A minor release to take advantage of recent bug fixes, 8.1.2, is now scheduled for February 6th. The full 9.0 release will follow once pending work in progress is completed. Coordinating and prioritizing this work continues to be a primary focus of the monthly [[:community_call|Community Calls]], so please consider joining if you're interested in status updates or have development resources to contribute.
 +
 +As of this writing, the [[https://surveys.americangeosciences.org/index.php/288985|Documentation Survey]] is still running; if you have not already done so, please provide your feedback before the survey closes on February 3rd.
 +
 +The Project Management Committee has continued to make progress on standardizing project localization and planning for future fundraising and training. With details about the next WOLFcon beginning to take shape, they will likely turn some attention to planning for the 2023 Summit in the coming month.
