==== 1. New/Updated JIRA Tickets ==== | ==== 1. New/Updated JIRA Tickets ==== |
| |
| * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-150|VUFIND-150]] - Demian has closed this ticket (requesting better web-based configuration) since VuFind 2.0 offers automatic web-based configuration of key VuFind settings, and a comprehensive config editor seems unlikely in the foreseeable future. |
| * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-151|VUFIND-151]] - Since the scope of the Admin module is being reduced for VuFind 2.0, Demian has closed this ticket (requesting a Solr elevated terms editor in the web interface). Implementing this would likely be scope-creep in the wrong direction. |
* [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-154|VUFIND-154]] - This outage-handling ticket has been closed as [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-528|VUFIND-528]] covers much of its functionality and other changes in VuFind 2.0 render it otherwise obsolete. | * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-154|VUFIND-154]] - This outage-handling ticket has been closed as [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-528|VUFIND-528]] covers much of its functionality and other changes in VuFind 2.0 render it otherwise obsolete. |
* [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-180|VUFIND-180]] - An updated/expanded "limit by library" patch has been posted here; see also comment on [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-458|VUFIND-458]]. | * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-180|VUFIND-180]] - An updated/expanded "limit by library" patch has been posted here; see also comment on [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-458|VUFIND-458]]. |
* [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-565|VUFIND-565]] - This ticket makes the SMS phone number input more forgiving; it has been committed. | * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-565|VUFIND-565]] - This ticket makes the SMS phone number input more forgiving; it has been committed. |
* [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-566|VUFIND-566]] - This patch adds optional support for using Twilio to send text messages instead of the built-in mailer. | * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-566|VUFIND-566]] - This patch adds optional support for using Twilio to send text messages instead of the built-in mailer. |
* | * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-567|VUFIND-567]] - This patch makes favicons easier to configure on a theme-by-theme basis in VuFind 2. Demian has committed it. |
| * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-568|VUFIND-568]] - This is a support question about relevance ranking; Demian has posted an answer and closed the ticket. |
| * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-569|VUFIND-569]] - This is a support question about sorting; Demian has posted an answer and closed the ticket. |

| No news from Demian, apart from minimal adjustments for compatibility with the new NoILS driver. Al has done some work to expand this for his installation and will share patches. |

| 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). |
| |
==== 6. Other Topics? ==== | ==== 6. Other Topics? ==== |
| |
| 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 ([[indexing:open_data_sources|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. |
