 ==== 1. New/Updated JIRA Tickets ==== ==== 1. New/Updated JIRA Tickets ====
 +
 +  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-140|VUFIND-140]] - This old ticket for centralizing the export process has been closed since it is no longer architecturally compatible with current VuFind code; however, some ideas from this design have been incorporated into VuFind 2.0.
 +  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-165|VUFIND-165]] - There was some discussion on this ticket about the behavior of VuFind searches that contain colons; Demian plans to investigate possible improvements to this behavior as part of implementing e-Dismax ([[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-466|VUFIND-466]]), though this work probably won't happen until after the initial VuFind 2.0 release candidate is completed.
 +  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-276|VUFIND-276]] - Filipe has posted an update to Luke's feedback patch.
 +  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-316|VUFIND-316]] - A bug in VuFind's shard support has been fixed; a patch is posted here (and has been committed to trunk, post-1.3 release).
 +  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-325|VUFIND-325]] - Language file inheritance has been implemented in VuFind 2, so this ticket has been closed (equivalent functionality is unlikely to be implemented in 1.x).
 +  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-423|VUFIND-423]] - Work is continuing on the EBSCO module, and an updated patch has been posted.
 +  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-468|VUFIND-468]] - Eoghan has posted a link to a live demo of the flickr patch here.
 +  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-492|VUFIND-492]] - This ticket has been closed since a blank description line has been removed from the .deb package metadata; however, it's possible that other Debian-specific issues remain since the package is still only tested under Ubuntu.
 +  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-493|VUFIND-493]] / [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-499|VUFIND-499]] / [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-501|VUFIND-501]] - These three XSLT-related tickets have been closed now that Filipe has provided an example import configuration (NDLTD - in trunk) that demonstrates all of the appropriate solutions.
 +  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-502|VUFIND-502]] - This ticket provides a patch (committed as part of the 1.3 release) which allows the XSLT importer to better detect failures during import.
 +  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-503|VUFIND-503]] - This ticket reports missing translations in the blueprint theme; a fix has been committed.
 +  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-504|VUFIND-504]] - This ticket provides a patch that allows larger lists of tagged records to be displayed (beyond the Solr boolean clause limit) at the price of losing some functionality (facets, etc.)
 +  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-505|VUFIND-505]] - A patch to allow expanded checkbox facet functionality has been posted here; Demian will look at this more closely when he implements checkbox facets in VuFind 2.0 and will assess whether to commit this to the 1.x trunk at that time.
 +  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-506|VUFIND-506]] - This ticket is a reminder to look into implementing the Goodreads API as another review source option.
 +  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-507|VUFIND-507]] - Support for title-level holds has been added to the trunk (currently only supported by VoyagerRestful driver).
 +  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-508|VUFIND-508]] - Some problems with Solr retrieval of records with strange characters in their IDs have been fixed; a patch is posted here.  Some problems still need to be resolved in the way these IDs affect Javascript code on the client side.
 +  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-509|VUFIND-509]] - The OAI harvester needs to be updated to handle HTTP redirects.
 +  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-510|VUFIND-510]] - This ticket suggests adding a feature which sends email confirmation notices to users when they place holds or renew items.  Obviously, this would be optional.
 +  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-511|VUFIND-511]] - This ticket requests support for Content Cafe reviews and summaries (currently we only support book covers from that service).

 Demian has begun work on porting the cart and bulk action logic to VF2; everything is being rewritten to allow mixed record sources (i.e. not just Solr, but also Summon, WorldCat, etc.).  As part of this work, the logic for loading multiple records from multiple sources has been rewritten for greater efficiency (when possible, we load all records from each source as a batch instead of loading things one record at a time). Demian has begun work on porting the cart and bulk action logic to VF2; everything is being rewritten to allow mixed record sources (i.e. not just Solr, but also Summon, WorldCat, etc.).  As part of this work, the logic for loading multiple records from multiple sources has been rewritten for greater efficiency (when possible, we load all records from each source as a batch instead of loading things one record at a time).

 +
 +Eoghan reported on the VuFind Collections module meeting at the National Library of Ireland -- Luke came from Swansea with an archivist and there were discussions on both technical and data-oriented issues.  Luke is working on getting Swansea archival data into his iFind implementation of VuFind; he has been building on the VUFIND-421 and VUFIND-441 tickets to support Axiel Calm, an archival management system.  The meeting provided some ideas for boosting and contextual searching as well as special labeling for archival data in custom templates.  The group also looked at (and committed to the collections SVN branch) some of Ere's contributed code (as he has been participating in email conversations even though he did not attend the in-person meeting).  Demian joined the meeting via Skype for a brief period, and he has committed to indexing VuDL data into the collections-branch code to see how well that works.
 +
 +Ere is continuing work on a Record Manager application which combines some OAI and record processing logic to help with loading various record types into VuFind -- he's currently improving EAD support.
 +
 +We discussed the possibility of moving the meeting time back an hour earlier to allow easier participation from Finland; we'll keep the next meeting at the current time but put this on the agenda for future planning.
