3. Documentation
Koha wiki page development/testing is still ongoing.
Discussion point: How do we define “done” for our documentation improvement project?
Work is still pending on MeSH, DoAJ, PubMed Central and NepJol “open data sources” pages. Mohan also plans to contribute documentation related to integrating SubjectsPlus (which recently had example XSLT import configs added to the project) and Moodle (which is still being researched).
4. Translation Platform
Lokalise integration has been completed, and volunteer translators are beginning to use it.
5. Security Audit
Demian opened VUFIND-1643 to capture the brute force password discussion. Everything else has been addressed, unless we need a ticket for the prototype pollution investigation.
6. Fundraising
If we are going to put up a fundraising banner in conjunction with the 9.1 release, we should write and design it in time for the October 30 release.
7. EU Cyber Resilience Act
8. Website Improvement Project
With the year nearing an end, this is the only project we have not begun yet. We should begin discussing and scoping it.
9. Possible Future Actions
Some other possible items for the future:
- Develop a documentation maintenance plan
- “Good first issue” highlighting
- Investigate getting a VPAT
- Outreach to forks for new feature contributions
- Marketing project (better VuFind® definition, website improvements, etc.)
- Publication / presentation efforts related to PMC and sustainability
- Investigate possible uses of AI for documentation, etc.
