Attending:

• VUFIND-317 - A patch for handling large numbers of previews (Google Books, HathiTrust, etc.) has been posted here; Demian will test and commit when time allows.
• VUFIND-522 - A patch has been posted to this ticket showing how to implement user-selected authentication options.
• VUFIND-523 - As discussed on the last call, SOLR_HOME handling has been changed in the import scripts; this may require some people to add missing settings to their import/import.properties file. VuFind 2.0 will auto-configure this file as part of installation.
• VUFIND-528 - Luke has posted an update to his “no/disabled ILS” driver.
• VUFIND-537 - This ticket identifies a Solr error generated by invalid fuzzy searches; we should handle it more gracefully.
• VUFIND-538 - This ticket provides a new recommendation module for using authority records.

Demian has implemented “new items” search and the OAI-PMH harvest tool, as well as finishing the Summon module and porting all remaining recommendation modules. Some minor details, like improved naming of environment variables and local-instance-based cache storage, have also been achieved.

VuFind 2.0's install script and SolrMarc configuration have been adjusted so that SolrMarc configurations, translation maps and BeanShell scripts can now reside in a specific local settings directory for easier upgrades. The XSLT importer has also been ported over and now respects local settings directories.

Chris has made significant progress on the Browse module – code is now in the branch, though a few refinements are still in progress. He has also begun work on building the Record Driver Method Master List in the documentation.

The next call will be Tuesday, April 17, 2012 at 10am Eastern Daylight Time (GMT - 4:00).
