-Good design discussions have been taking place on vufind-tech -- please join in!  Demian needs to start weighing "working code" against "well-integrated, framework-using code."  Once everything is fully functional, significant refactoring is still needed to fully leverage the features of Zend Framework.  Anyone with time to learn about the new version of the framework and comment on design issues could be of great help to the project.+Good design discussions have been taking place on vufind-tech -- please join in!  Demian needs to start weighing "working code" against "well-integrated, framework-using code."  Once everything is fully functional, significant refactoring is still needed to fully leverage the features of Zend Framework.  Anyone with time to learn about the new version of the framework and comment on design issues could be of great help to the project.  Particular areas of interest involve the move away from ZF1-style singletons/registries, and the new event handling functionality.

 +Filipe once again offered to share his archives of harvested data (to save others from having to run the potentially unstable OAI-PMH process themselves).  Demian is willing to host these (where legal) on vufind.org if anyone is interested in downloading copies.
 +
 +There was also some discussion of tag/comment sharing through a central repository (a topic that has been touched on before) -- apparently Aquabrowser offers this through a "MyDiscoveries" component.  There are a lot of issues here: central server design, protocol design, finding resources to support the infrastructure, investigating copyright concerns, quality control, curation, etc.  Demian hopes that the VuFind Summit will offer a forum for beginning to talk about centralized, shared VuFind resources.
 +
 +Due to the complexity of the tag/comment sharing system, the idea might be worth floating to other discovery communities (i.e. Blacklight, XC) to see if there is interest in a collaborative project.
