   * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-50|VUFIND-50]] - Now that VuFind 2 has theme switching, this ticket has been closed.
-  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-318|VUFIND-318]] - Progress has been made on the patch to allow more configurable book preview options.
+  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-180|VUFIND-180]] - Some possible approaches to consortial support in VuFind 2 have been posted in a [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1R6zhj1JgTCzwP_1zwYk5BNnlkPCexqWhoxf944jeGjA/edit#bookmark=id.2utbhhmuouii|Google doc]] linked here.
+  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-318|VUFIND-318]] - Progress has been made on the patch to allow more configurable book preview options.  Demian plans to commit it soon.
   * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-386|VUFIND-386]] - The Aleph driver on this ticket has been updated once again.
   * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-419|VUFIND-419]] - Support for the XHPRof Profiler has now been built into VuFind 2.0.
-  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-538|VUFIND-538]] - The authority recommendation module has been committed.  In combination with the [[..:open_data_sources#oclc_fast|free FAST data released by OCLC]], this is very powerful; it makes "subject" search much more useful than before.

   * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-561|VUFIND-561]] - Al has posted his inter-library borrowing patch for the VuFind ILS driver here; this patch includes his version of the Aleph driver.  Demian will try to commit this as soon as the "multiple Aleph drivers" problem can be satisfactorily resolved.
   * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-570|VUFIND-570]] - This is a task-oriented ticket for the discussion of creating a shared index of open access content that could be used to augment VuFind instances.

   * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-576|VUFIND-576]] - This ticket reports a problem with harvesting arxiv.org records using OAI; the problem had to do with 503 "retry later" responses.  Demian has posted and committed a patch which adds support to the harvester.
   * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-577|VUFIND-577]] - This ticket provides a mechanism for returning to mobile mode from standard mode when a mobile device is detected; Demian will test and commit soon.
+  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-578|VUFIND-578]] - This ticket proposes a new recommendation module to provide subject summaries similar to the current Wikipedia author module.  Benjamin might be interested in helping implement this -- he will bring it up with librarians for feedback.
 ==== 2. VuFind 2.0 Update ====
@@ Line 38: / Line 40: @@
 Demian has also been watching Zend Framework 2 development since the ZF1-based VuFind 2 prototype is so close to completion.  Still no firm release date, but the [[http://framework.zend.com/about/zf2-faq|FAQ]] suggests it will be done this summer, and it also mentions a compatibility layer which should help ease the transition from the existing codebase.  There will still be a lot of changes to the VuFind code base while we move to the newer code, but hopefully the development branch will remain functional through the migration.
+Chris has continued working on statistics.
+Remaining items on the VuFind 2 to-do list: Finish mobile theme, finish statistics, port remaining ILS drivers, implement PostgreSQL support.  If anyone is able to help with any of this (particularly ILS driver testing), please let Demian know.
 ==== 3. New Mobile Theme ====
+No news (apart from the above).
 ==== 4. VuFind Developers Summit 2012 ====
+We have received our first request for travel funding.  If you need travel assistance, please contact Demian as soon as possible while funds are still available.
+A conference planning meeting will take place this Thursday at Villanova; hopefully there will be more announcements shortly after that.
 ==== 5. VuFind Hierarchical Collections Update ====
+No news from Demian.
 ==== 6. Open Data / Shared Central Index ====
+This subject will be deferred to the next call in hope of larger attendance.
 ==== 7. Other Topics? ====
+Demian showed a demo of [[https://library.villanova.edu/Find/Search/Results?lookfor=death+penalty&type=Subject&search=catalog+Subject&submit=Find|FAST data loaded at Villanova]].
