 Demian has renamed the version number for the initial 2.0 release (due July 2) from "2.0RC1" to "2.0alpha."  Since this initial release is not going to closely resemble the final 2.0 release (due to forthcoming Zend Framework changes), it really shouldn't be called a "release candidate."  However, it will be a feature-complete model demonstrating many of the characteristics of the new VuFind version; it just shouldn't be used in production until it's a bit closer to its final shape! Demian has renamed the version number for the initial 2.0 release (due July 2) from "2.0RC1" to "2.0alpha."  Since this initial release is not going to closely resemble the final 2.0 release (due to forthcoming Zend Framework changes), it really shouldn't be called a "release candidate."  However, it will be a feature-complete model demonstrating many of the characteristics of the new VuFind version; it just shouldn't be used in production until it's a bit closer to its final shape!

 +Filipe reminded Demian of a conversation they had last year about encouraging users to comment on/tag records.  It might be possible to prompt on log-in based on recently returned items ("please tell us what you thought about...").  If users are more actively creating metadata, this makes it more useful to share it.
 +
 +User-generated metadata is another thing that would be useful to share centrally.  Demian suggested that a linked data approach might be a good way to make this data shareable in a platform-independent way, possibly allowing collaboration with other communities like Blacklight/XC/etc.
 +
 +Demian is interested in supporting such an effort, though he is not currently able to devote the time necessary to design a whole system.

 +Demian mentioned his intention to eventually investigate integrating VuFind with the XC Metadata Services Toolkit for authority processing (another of his backburner projects -- if anyone is interested in helping with this, feel free to contact him for more information).
