 We should be able to introduce this via a new pull request; no need to wait on other "npm scripts" work in progress before we begin. Chris suggested finishing up the AJAX modernization before introducing this to avoid duplication of effort.
+There was discussion of whether we should at some point introduce a compilation step for our Javascript assets. Down sides: introducing compilation steepens learning curve; could complicate deployment process for complex sites like Finna with many views. Advantage: would make it easier to manage dependencies, and to include libraries that don't necessarily have an easy-to-include, stand-alone .js version.
+Possible middle ground on compilation: a compiled.js which lumps together third-party dependencies, without making it impossible to override VuFind-specific .js code. This could follow the precedent of compiled.css and offer some benefits without all the drawbacks.

+Ere is releasing RecordManager 2.0 today!
+Demian mentioned the need to improve the efficiency of the web crawler tool. Ere suggested that RecordManager might be able to be customized to do web crawling and cache results so that Tika could only be called when things have actually changed upstream.
