 +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.
