Maintenance Plan

Demian has established the popular pages list – please review pages and initial when complete.

Chris is still working on developing the outdated pages report.

Page Updates

Demian and Mohan should update the DOAJ page and create a NepJol page based on recent experiments.

Work is still pending on the PubMed Central “open data sources” page. 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).

Artificial Intelligence

No news.

PMC Article

André and Craig haven't had time to move this forward yet, but they did recently touch base about it.

Website Accessibility and Updates

Some style improvements have been made to the vufind.org website (including the wiki). Chris has opened pull request #3692 to make some of the footer and related changes discussed at last month's meeting. If some PMC members can review/approve it, we should be able to merge it soon.

4. Fundraising

Mohan shared a report about his PMC-funded training trip, which all PMC members should have received by email prior to this meeting. He hopes to propose another one for late this year or early next year.

5. WOLFcon / Summit 2024

The WOLFcon schedule is being finalized, and speakers are now being sent acceptance messages.

The Summit call for papers has been extended one more time. Preparations are ongoing.
