 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. 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.

 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. 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.

 +Development of this functionality for VuFind 1.x will continue, but it should also be ported to 2.0.
 +
 +More links and updated code will be posted to the tickets; please take a look and add your thoughts and comments there.
 +
 +There was some discussion about possibly adding a "hierarchy level" field to the Solr index to allow filtering based on granularity during searching, though this requires more thought since hierarchical levels are not necessarily equivalent across hierarchies.
 +
 +There was also discussion of the difficulty of working with EAD due to different best practices; perhaps a SolrEAD tool is needed to configure indexing differently for different record sets.
 +
 +Luke and Eoghan sense a need for better display of records in the archival community, so once this is all working, it may open a whole new market for VuFind.

 Demian improved the real-time location/call number behavior in the jquerymobile theme as part of his work with [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-494|VUFIND-494]]. Demian improved the real-time location/call number behavior in the jquerymobile theme as part of his work with [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-494|VUFIND-494]].
 +
 +Luke will put cart support for the jquerymobile theme on his long-term to-do list, but it is not a high priority.
 +
 +Luke also suggested using CSS media queries in place of (or in complement to) browser sniffing for the mobile experience -- he recommends [[http://www.alistapart.com/articles/responsive-web-design/|this article]] for an introduction to the concept.
 +
 +Also on the medium-term to-do list: add mobile support to VuFind 2.0.
