We already have one comment from Zeno Tajoli pointing out that in some scenarios, a single record may need to connect to multiple ILSes (i.e. export from a union catalog with multiple item records attached to a single bib record). |
| * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-522|VUFIND-522]] - This ticket proposes an authentication module that allows the user to choose from several authentication options. | * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-522|VUFIND-522]] - This ticket proposes an authentication module that allows the user to choose from several authentication options. |
| * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-523|VUFIND-523]] - This ticket proposes a change to the way SOLR_HOME is used in the MARC import scripts; this change will make it easier to change behavior by editing import.properties, but it will also force users to ensure that import.properties is always properly configured. Please take a look and comment whether or not you think this should go into the trunk. | * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-523|VUFIND-523]] - This ticket proposes a change to the way SOLR_HOME is used in the MARC import scripts; this change will make it easier to change behavior by editing import.properties, but it will also force users to ensure that import.properties is always properly configured.

| * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-529|VUFIND-529]] - This ticket records the fact that the "retain current filters" checkbox doesn't work when Javascript is disabled; a solution is proposed, but there is some question of whether it is worth the effort. Please comment if you have an opinion. | * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-529|VUFIND-529]] - This ticket records the fact that the "retain current filters" checkbox doesn't work when Javascript is disabled; a solution is proposed, but there is some question of whether it is worth the effort.

| | * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-533|VUFIND-533]] - This ticket requests a 404 status code for invalid record URLs (right now, errors return a 200 OK status). Demian has committed a fix based on the submitted patch. |
| | * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-534|VUFIND-534]] - This ticket proposes better social media integration (Facebook/Twitter) for VuFind. |

| | Demian took a survey of the group to see if anyone is using the Admin module, since he is thinking of removing/changing it in 2.0 due to limitations of the current implementation. So far, nobody seems very attached to the existing functionality. |

| | ==== 6. Other Topics? ==== |

| |
| ==== 5. Other Topics? ==== | The VuFind 1.4 release date was mentioned; Demian is not sure yet whether or not this should come before or after the 2.0RC1 release. It will depend on progress in the collection branch and general workload. |
