VuFind Community Call Minutes: April 7, 2020
Attending: Chris Hallberg, Demian Katz, Claas Kazzer, Pixel, Mario Trojan
Agenda
1. Development Planning
VuFind 6.1.1 Release
The 6.1.1 release went out on time; a couple of bugs (one involving IDs containing slashes, another involving searches containing slashes with PostgreSQL) still remain in 6.1.1, so a 6.1.2 release will be forthcoming when they are fully resolved.
Zend Framework / Laminas Transition
The Laminas migration was merged as planned. No problems have been reported yet.
Newsletter Highlights
The March, 2020 Newsletter was discussed.
Accessibility Improvements
Slowly chipping away at open issues; some more things still need to be backported and merged. More progress planned this week and next.
Browse Handler Optimizations
There was a bit more discussion on VUFIND-1363; it seems that Michael Gibney is investigating getting his browse capabilities merged into Solr master, which would be very helpful for us… but would likely take a significant amount of time. We are currently waiting for more details on the patch.
2. Video Session: Theme Accessibility
A video discussing accessibility issues relevant to VuFind's upcoming theme development was recorded.
3. Video Session: OAI-PMH
This recording was postponed due to the length of the accessibility conversation; Demian may record it solo later in the month and share it so that we keep on track with monthly tutorials.
4. Other Topics?
None this month.
Next Call
The next call will be Tuesday, May 5, 2020 at 9am Eastern Daylight Time (13:00 GMT).
