 +There was a discussion about whether it is a good idea to start a new VuFind implementation using the 2.0 code.  Demian does not advise using 2.0 code in production yet, but for development purposes, it should be safe -- although some significant details may change when Zend Framework 2 is released (if we decide to update the framework underlying VuFind 2), the configuration files and basic interfaces should be relatively stable and any changes will be largely syntactical (i.e. introduction of PHP namespaces).  The main area to watch out for is the interface -- depending on how dramatically Zend Framework 2 changes its templating system, this may be the most painful area to upgrade.

 +Demian is currently focusing on finishing porting existing VuFind functionality to 2.0; after that is complete, he will work on porting over the new hierarchy code and at the same time will clean up the 1.x collection branch so it is ready to merge into the trunk for the release of VuFind 1.4.
