Attending:

We will probably have to raise the base requirement to PHP 5.3 in order to take advantage of 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.

The next call will be Tuesday, January 24, 2012 at 11am Eastern Standard Time (GMT - 5:00).
