Demian thanked all the participants in WOLFcon last month and noted that video recordings will be made available soon. He also mentioned that there is a new #pr-reviews channel in the Slack channel where people can request reviews from the community. If you have time to help with code review and testing, please watch that channel! | Demian thanked all the participants in WOLFcon last month and noted that video recordings will be made available soon.

+ | There was a question about plans for machine learning and natural language processing in VuFind®. Demian suggested that this would probably be the job of some third-party API or system that could then be incorporated into VuFind® as a backend or recommendation module. He does not currently have the development bandwidth to work on such a thing, but it could be a very interesting experiment for somebody with the available time to investigate, | ||

+ | Luke asked about how to index DSpace and ArchivesSpace records. The XML indexing process was reviewed and some troubleshooting was performed, and it seems that Luke now has the information he needs to move forward. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Mario mentioned that Alessandro Aprile is moving to a new position and will no longer be available to help with Italian translations. We will likely need to search for a new translation volunteer for that language. | ||
+ | |||
+ | October 3 is a national holiday in Germany, so some regular attendees may miss that meeting. No one requested rescheduling the meeting, however; we can catch up via email as needed. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Maccabee raised the suggestion of moving VuFind® conversation to the OLF Slack, so that we can take advantage of the archival history supported there and can consolidate communication to fewer platforms. Demian does not object to the idea but suggested raising it on Slack so that current users can weigh in and brainstorm the best approach to a migration. Maccabee volunteered to start the thread. | ||
