4. Improve VuFind Installation List

Brainstorming from last time:

  • KOHA has opt-in for sharing information about the installation (https://hea.koha-community.org/)
  • Adding to installation seems like a good idea
  • An optional registration step on install/upgrade
  • Scrape-able tag
  • General information: version, ILS, institution type, repository size, user count, configuration
  • An online form perhaps?

We should discuss and determine next steps.

4. Possible Future Actions

Some other possible items for the future:

  • Develop a fundraising communication plan - after November resource planning
  • Discuss a strategy for approaching VuFind services vendors (both for funding support and trademark compliance)
  • Develop a documentation maintenance plan
  • Investigate Dokuwiki enhancements (“old page” alerts, “page ownership” mechanism)
  • Community Call restructuring / marketing
  • “Good first issue” highlighting
  • Outreach to forks for new feature contributions
  • Marketing project (better VuFind definition, website improvements, etc.)
  • Publication / presentation efforts related to PMC and sustainability
  • Evaluate vufind.org web analytics.

Significant progress is being made, though the process is still underway. Hopefully we will have a resolution soon.
