   * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-122|VUFIND-122]] - A crude Pazpar2 proof-of-concept patch for VuFind 2.0 has been posted here.  This is still under development, and a more mature version may make it into master soon.
+  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-327|VUFIND-327]] - Demian has added availability status to favorite lists in the 2.0 code (a frequently requested feature at Villanova).  It is currently on by default; perhaps a further enhancement would be to make this configurable, though it may also be just as well to leave disabling status as a theme-specific customization.
   * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-348|VUFIND-348]] - This ticket has been resolved; homepage facets may now be configured independently of advanced search facets.
   * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-534|VUFIND-534]] - This ticket (about adding support for social web services) was too broad and vague, so it has been closed in favor of opening a larger number of more targeted tickets.
   * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-542|VUFIND-542]] - This ticket has some new discussion of improved author indexing.
   * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-571|VUFIND-571]] - Some code has been shared here to implement the "redirect failed advanced searches to the advanced search screen" feature.  Demian doesn't plan to commit this as-is, but the feature may be worth reimplementing in a simpler form in 2.0.
+  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-582|VUFIND-582]] - Loading course reserves data from CSV has been committed to trunk/master for 1.x and 2.x.
   * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-588|VUFIND-588]] - This ticket is closed now that Greenstone Digital Library import configurations are included in trunk/master and documented in the wiki.
+  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-603|VUFIND-603]] - Some improvements to the Browse module (custom alphabets and optional alphabetical sorting) have been committed.
+  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-605|VUFIND-605]] - Tabs are now controlled by their own set of classes, not through record drivers, in the 2.0 master branch.
+  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-625|VUFIND-625]] - This Shibboleth-related ticket has been closed because the issue should be addressed by the 2.0 code; Demian does not plan to fix it in 1.x (due to lack of time to clean up and test).
+  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-628|VUFIND-628]] - The fix for incorrect facet order display when using the same facet in multiple recommendation modules has been committed (1.x and 2.x).
   * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-635|VUFIND-635]] - An improved version of the Clickatell SMS patch has been posted here.
   * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-661|VUFIND-661]] - This ticket (about confusing side effects of sharding) has been closed since documentation is now updated.  There is some discussion here about naming sharding strategies -- please comment if interested.

   * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-700|VUFIND-700]] - This ticket points out that the VuFind 1.x install script assumes that MySQL is on the local server; this issue is resolved in 2.0, but there are no plans to update 1.x.
   * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-701|VUFIND-701]] - This ticket points out a bug in alphabetical browsing of Dewey call numbers and proposes a solution; Demian does not currently have time to implement, but if anyone needs it, the work should be fairly straightforward and Demian is happy to provide support.
+  * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-702|VUFIND-702]] - This ticket proposes some platform-aware smarts for the VuFind 2 install script.
 Progress has also been made on unit tests and David Maus' search system refactoring; since many granular tickets are involved in these changes, they are not listed individually here.

 All services registered in the top-level service manager have been prefixed with "VuFind\" to avoid naming conflicts with other modules.
+The test suite has been slightly reorganized and expanded.
+Demian has completed the first round of refactoring to decouple tab rendering from record driver objects.
 We should discuss whether/how to split VuFind into reusable ZF2 modules.

+==== 3. VuFind Developers Summit 2012 Wrap-Up ====
 The Summit was a success.  Video will be posted soon; Demian will announce on the lists when it is available.  Also forthcoming is an updated roadmap document for discussion.
 ==== 4. Linked Data ====
+Linked data was discussed several times during the VuFind Summit and related conferences.  Ideally, there are several ways that VuFind should work with Linked Data:
+  * There should be a standard process/toolkit for pulling in linked data, flattening it to records, and pushing it to Solr.
+  * VuFind should be able to export linked data in order to share bib records and user-provided metadata like tags and comments.
+Achieving both of these goals requires a better understanding of existing ontologies.  Solutions may become more clear as the Library of Congress continues its work on a successor to MARC.  It is probably wise to start thinking about this now rather than racing to catch up later.
+One starting point might be to open communications with the [[http://lodlam.net/|LODLAM]] community.
