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. Demian plans to do some work on improving recommendation module documentation to make this all easier to understand/configure. | * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-538|VUFIND-538]] - The authority recommendation module has been committed.

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. | Demian has also been watching Zend Framework 2 development since the ZF1-based VuFind 2 prototype is so close to completion.
