 Demian has finished implementing the cart in 2.0.  All bulk actions are functional, and the code is a lot simpler than in 1.x -- also more flexible, since you can mix and match records from all of the modules. Demian has finished implementing the cart in 2.0.  All bulk actions are functional, and the code is a lot simpler than in 1.x -- also more flexible, since you can mix and match records from all of the modules.

 Chris is now working on porting the Browse module.  He's planning on implementing a non-Javascript version of the code in order to resolve [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-298|VUFIND-298]] and simplify some of the current confusing logic. Chris is now working on porting the Browse module.  He's planning on implementing a non-Javascript version of the code in order to resolve [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-298|VUFIND-298]] and simplify some of the current confusing logic.

 +
 +Villanova is going to begin developing its own mobile theme shortly (based on jquerymobile); perhaps this will lead to some new fixes and additions.  For now, though, no news.
 +
 +Filipe reported some problems with refine search functionality in jquerymobile when running VuFind under CentOS; he did not see the same problems under Ubuntu.

 +
 +We agreed to move the call time from 11am to 10am for future calls.  Because of the impending arrival of Daylight Time on the East coast, the next call time may be confusing for some people in different time zones.  Please check times carefully against your local time!

 +Progress has continued on the [[https://vufind.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/vufind/branches/collection/|collection branch]] dealing with hierarchical collection data within VuFind.  Demian has begun working on tools to load [[http://vudl.org|VuDL]] collection data into VuFind.  There are still many details to sort through, but the basic Solr schema seems to be settling into place, and progress is constantly being made.  If anyone with hierarchical collections would like to test the new branch, please do so -- the more systems we try it with, the more flexible the code will become.
