-===== 2. Documentation =====

+Demian will remove Leander from the PMC list in the wiki following the meeting and send out recruitment emails to candidate(s) discussed during the meeting.
+===== 3. Documentation =====
 ==== VuFind® 9.0 release video ====

+This has not been started yet. Demian will work on a slide deck prior to the release. We can present and record this as part of the April Community Call now that a release date is set.
 ==== Wiki editing ====
-A review of the whole sitemap is on Susan's to-do list at Villanova.
+Susan Turkel at Villanova has reviewed the entire wiki sitemap and highlighted some pages that need attention. Demian will review the list and is happy to share parts of it if others are willing/able to assist. André and Craig offered to help with this.
-Demian and Mohan continue to collaborate on Koha documentation.
+Demian and Mohan continue to collaborate on Koha documentation, and several sections of Mohan's documentation have been moved into the wiki, while the process has also led to significant improvements/updates to other existing wiki pages.
 Work is still pending on MeSH, DoAJ, PubMed Central and NepJol "open data sources" pages. Mohan also plans to contribute documentation related to integrating other software packages like SubjectsPlus and Moodle, which also support OAI-PMH.

 ==== Documentation Survey ====
-Demian added documentation to the March Community Call agenda as discussed last month.
+Demian added documentation to the March Community Call agenda as discussed last month. This conversation led to a decision to standardize on PSR-12, and Demian has been working on a series of pull requests to implement this modernization. A possible next step after this could be to work toward stricter phpstan validation.
-The project now has a shared Google drive through OLF; Demian proposed that this might be a good place to put the survey results for future reference (rather than the time-consuming process of transferring into the wiki).

 ==== Training Discussion ====
-Several RSP representatives (Mohan, Anne, Hugo and Galen) met last month to talk about documentation and training. Mohan is going to distribute a list of existing documentation that is ready for proofreading. Galen expressed some interest in building a reference manual to complement the "Learning" book. Some possibilities for future training sessions were discussed.

Some possibilities for future training sessions were discussed. A follow-up call is scheduled for next week, March 22 at 8am EDT.
-===== 3. Conflict of Interest Policy =====
+There was some discussion about the reference manual idea -- Galen's inspiration comes from the Evergreen project, where [[https://docs.evergreen-ils.org/eg/docs/latest/shared/about_this_documentation.html|documentation]] is maintained as part of the same source repo as the code, using ASCII doc format. This could better support having version-specific documentation in appropriate and accessible places, and could relieve some of the burden from the wiki (e.g. the wiki can just link to the documentation where appropriate).
+===== 4. Conflict of Interest Policy =====
 These have been received from everyone and submitted to OLF -- thanks!
-===== 4. Translation Platform =====
+===== 5. Translation Platform =====
-The decision was made not to use Lokalize for the 9.0 translation cycle, as there are still some issues to work through. Demian will do the normal manual process this time.
