 ==== 1. New/Updated JIRA Tickets ====
+  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-224|VUFIND-224]] / [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-228|VUFIND-228]] / [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-250|VUFIND-250]] - Several WorldCat issues have been resolved during VuFind 2.0 development; since these problems are unlikely to be resolved in 1.x, the tickets have been closed and marked as fixed in 2.0RC1.
   * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-279|VUFIND-279]] - The addition of a user phone number field to the database was proposed here.
   * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-421|VUFIND-421]] / [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-441|VUFIND-441]] - Some updated files have been attached to these tickets, which deal with hierarchical navigation of VuFind records.

 ==== 2. VuFind 2.0 Update ====
-We will probably have to raise the base requirement to PHP 5.3 in order to take advantage of [[http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.late-static-bindings.php|late static bindings]]; this requirement will also probably exist if we decide to upgrade to the soon-to-be-released Zend Framework 2.0.

-Demian has once again refactored the search code in an effort to make the organization more logical.  To test the latest arrangement, he has begun implementing non-standard search modules (Authority, Reserves, WorldCat).  So far the new system works well -- it is much easier to implement a whole new search interface than it used to be.  However, more work needs to be done to make the record views that correspond with these searches a little more straightforward and less redundant.

 The MyResearch area is also coming along nicely, with most of the list-related functionality now complete (apart from the need to add some fields to the database to allow sorting across multiple record sources).
 More unit tests have been built, and code coverage should be improving; however, there are currently problems on the continuous integration server that are preventing PHPUnit from generating coverage reports correctly; Demian is investigating.
+Demian has figured out how to use namespaces in the Wiki, so he will begin documenting VuFind 2.0 in its own namespace ([[VuFind2:start|here]]) as time permits.
 ==== 3. Hierarchical / Archival Data in VuFind ====
+Eoghan and Luke are planning to meet up to work on [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-421|VUFIND-421]] and [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-441|VUFIND-441]] in February.  These patches are designed to add support to VuFind for hierarchical relationships between records.
+Hierarchical data needs to be pulled from different sources in different situations -- i.e. National Library of Ireland uses their ILS for the data via the driver, while other situations will need to pull from external files or other software packages.
