 +  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-199|VUFIND-199]] - Graham has offered to share code for implementing a Summon RSS feed using the Summon API; because his code differs greatly from the trunk, no patch is currently attached to the ticket, but relevant code snippets are provided.
   * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-420|VUFIND-420]] - Demian has committed a variation of this patch so that the YAML search specs can now be cached for improved search performance.   * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-420|VUFIND-420]] - Demian has committed a variation of this patch so that the YAML search specs can now be cached for improved search performance.

   * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-422|VUFIND-422]] - A patch has been posted here to add CAS authentication support to VuFind; if you are interested in CAS, please test and comment.  Some of the added features in this patch have helped influence Demian's design of the improved authentication mechanism for VuFind 2.0.   * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-422|VUFIND-422]] - A patch has been posted here to add CAS authentication support to VuFind; if you are interested in CAS, please test and comment.  Some of the added features in this patch have helped influence Demian's design of the improved authentication mechanism for VuFind 2.0.
   * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-423|VUFIND-423]] - EBSCO offers an article search API for free to database subscribers; it may be worth building a VuFind module to support this API as a complement to the existing Summon and in-progress Primo Central interfaces.  This ticket is a reminder to look into that; Demian will be happy to help if anyone wants to do this but needs guidance on implementation details.   * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-423|VUFIND-423]] - EBSCO offers an article search API for free to database subscribers; it may be worth building a VuFind module to support this API as a complement to the existing Summon and in-progress Primo Central interfaces.  This ticket is a reminder to look into that; Demian will be happy to help if anyone wants to do this but needs guidance on implementation details.
 +  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-424|VUFIND-424]] - Anna Headley has contributed some expanded Syndetics functionality; Demian will look into getting this committed shortly after the VuFind 1.2 release (it can't be done sooner since it adds new strings to the language files).
 +  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-425|VUFIND-425]] - Eoghan opened this ticket to demonstrate schema.org microdata integration (for better SEO) and to begin discussion on the idea of improved semantic structure within VuFind.

   * The database connection is working; switching from PEAR's DB_DataObject to Zend_DB is not too difficult.  For now, Demian has been focusing on tag functionality -- there's a lot more logic to reimplement, but it is straightforward work.   * The database connection is working; switching from PEAR's DB_DataObject to Zend_DB is not too difficult.  For now, Demian has been focusing on tag functionality -- there's a lot more logic to reimplement, but it is straightforward work.

-No news.+Tuan was not able to attend the call, but he reported by email that he has some minor changes to the mobile themes that he plans to commit before the next release.
  
 ==== 5. Cart Functionality ==== ==== 5. Cart Functionality ====
  
-Luke is continuing to make progress on his patch, and the functionality has been installed at the [[http://vufind.org/demo_trunk/|trunk demo]] for people to play with.  We are still looking for feedback on a solution to the UI inconsistency between the current bulk list functionality in the MyResearch module and the cart functionality added everywhere else.+Luke is continuing to make progress on his patch, and the functionality has been installed at the [[http://vufind.org/demo_trunk/|trunk demo]] for people to play with.  We discussed a solution to the UI inconsistency between the current bulk list functionality in the MyResearch module and the cart functionality added everywhere else.  The solution seems to be removing the "auto-add to cart" behavior and replacing it with an explicit "add to cart" button; this allows checkboxes to serve multiple functions when necessary.
