VuFind Community Call Minutes: May 4, 2021

Agenda
1. Development Planning
Newsletter Highlights
The April, 2021 Newsletter was discussed.
CSV Importer
Demian has found time to make some more progress on this (see pull request #1761); a configuration file format has been designed, and processing logic is underway. Feedback on the work in progress is welcomed.
Future of Tools
Demian spoke with Lionel Walter, who still plans to work on GitLab-based CI processes when time permits. The Travis token supply is still holding out, so this is not currently urgent.
OLF is still working on figuring out the best way to transition to Atlassian-hosted JIRA for its projects; Demian is awaiting further news.
Javascript Dependencies
Work still needs to continue on #1799 when time permits. Demian plans to devote more time to this after the CSV import tool is completed.
Possible Laminas Deprecations
No news.
Static Analysis Tools
PHPStan has been incorporated into VuFind's continuous integration workflows, and the plan is to gradually increase its strictness to further improve the quality of the code. A bug in Psalm is causing a lot of false positive warnings, so Demian is going to wait for that to be resolved before investing more time in adding that secondary tool.
utf8mb4 Database Encoding
Mario has been out of the office, but there should be more news on this soon.
2. Formalizing VuFind's Community
The Project Management Committee has continued to make progress on VuFind's community documentation. They will next be discussing funding models. You can follow their activities through the PMC Meetings wiki page.
3. Video: Testing, Part 3: Writing Mink Integration Tests
A video was recorded discussing the creation of Mink integration tests. It will be shared as soon as editing is completed.
4. Other Topics?
Next Call
The next call will be Tuesday, June 1, 2021 at 9am Eastern Daylight Time (13:00 GMT).
