VuFind Developers Call Minutes: June 26, 2012
Attending:
Agenda
1. New/Updated JIRA Tickets
- VUFIND-600 - Aperture, the full-text extraction tool used by VuFind, is no longer in active development; this ticket is a reminder to investigate alternatives (such as Apache Tika) to ensure that full text support can continue in the future even if Aperture disappears completely.
2. VuFind 2.0 Update
VuFind 2.0alpha is complete and will be released on schedule (July 2nd).
Demian has begun implementing 2.0beta, which will use Zend Framework 2. Some useful resources for the ZF1 to ZF2 conversion are linked here. This includes a link to a series of blog posts Demian has begun discussing particular aspects of the conversion.
As mentioned previously, Demian has activated git on Sourceforge in order to move forward with 2.0beta development outside of Subversion. Subversion will remain online for maintaining the 1.x codebase. For details on checking out the new (though currently far from functional) code, look at the Git instructions on this page.
3. VuFind Developers Summit 2012
We have received some registrations and talk proposals, but there is still room for more. See the VuFind Summit 2012 page for more details.
4. VuFind Hierarchical Collections Update
5. Open Data / Shared Central Index
Christian Dabrowski suggested LOBID as another possible data source; however, supporting it would require some new tools for dealing with linked data.
6. Other Topics?
