VuFind Developers Call Minutes: March 8, 2011
Attending:
Agenda
1. Continuous Integration Update
All high-priority style updates completed.
2. jQuery/XHTML Theme
3. VuFind 1.1 Release
By the next call, VuFind 1.1 will be released. Work is nearly complete at this point, and testing of the current trunk code is strongly encouraged!
4. Icon Set for Library Software
No new developments – due to lack of time and contacts, Graham hasn't had any further luck rounding up interested parties. If anyone would like to take over the recruiting effort, Graham is interested in passing the baton.
5. New JIRA Tickets
- VUFIND-385 - proof of concept Mendeley/Summon integration (limited functionality due to apparent bugs on the Mendeley side – Demian is working with their support team to resolve this).
- VUFIND-386 - Aleph enhancements; Demian and Luke are currently working on similar functionality for Voyager and hope to reconcile the two patches eventually.
6. Plug-in Architecture
Zend Framework is looking extremely promising. With the right design, it appears to allow local overriding of all VuFind components without editing the core code (a major improvement for reconciling local enhancements with trunk changes), it has more modern libraries for many core VuFind features (i.e. HTTP calls, which currently use a deprecated PEAR library), it has sophisticated URL routing (better than writing complicated Apache mod_rewrite rules), and its model-view-controller architecture is a bit more robust than Smarty, not to mention being more firmly PHP-based.
7. Other Topics?
