| A few more bugs have been fixed. Demian hasn't taken a look since the last call -- he will focus on this after finishing up final touches on VuFind 2 (which may still be a few more weeks of work). |

| |
| Benjamin plans to share a proposal regarding consortial functionality in time for the next call. |
| |
| Filipe brought up the growing area of open data -- for example, Harvard's recent release of catalog data, and the harvestable pubmed index. Demian will create a wiki page ([[..:Open Data Sources]]) to track this and encourage sharing of free data. There was also discussion of having a central index of this data that could either be added to search results via sharding and/or used as a replication source for local clones. This would require significant infrastructure work, but it would be a useful tool for the VuFind community -- perhaps a topic for deeper discussion at the Summit in October. |
| |
| Kate and Demian discussed some of the finer points of SVN vendor branching. |
| |
| Filipe also asked about deduplication, a task which may be aided by Ere Maijala's [[https://github.com/KDK-Alli/RecordManager|record manager]] tool, which adds an extra layer of pre-import processing to create keys that can be used to group records in search results, achieving a form of deduplication. |
