VuFind Developers Call Minutes: October 30, 2012

Agenda

1. New/Updated JIRA Tickets

  • 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.
  • VUFIND-348 - This ticket has been resolved; homepage facets may now be configured independently of advanced search facets.
  • 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.
  • VUFIND-542 - This ticket has some new discussion of improved author indexing.
  • 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.
  • VUFIND-588 - This ticket is closed now that Greenstone Digital Library import configurations are included in trunk/master and documented in the wiki.
  • VUFIND-635 - An improved version of the Clickatell SMS patch has been posted here.
  • 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.
  • VUFIND-679 - This small recommendation module bug fix has been committed.
  • VUFIND-682 - Discussion of the VuFind HTTP Proxy service has continued on this ticket; please review and comment if interested.
  • VUFIND-683 - This ticket reports a problem with sending SMS messages with no subject line; Demian is still attempting to find a way to reproduce the error.
  • VUFIND-684 - This ticket provides a patch to make brief record display configurable; Demian does not plan to commit, as this may be better handled through theme modifications – feel free to vote/comment if you feel differently.
  • VUFIND-685 - This ticket covers the recent expansion of the OCLC numbering system; it has been closed with a patch to fix potential indexing problems.
  • VUFIND-686 - This ticket suggests a method for creating an index field for SuDoc numbers.
  • VUFIND-687 / VUFIND-688 / VUFIND-689 / VUFIND-690 / VUFIND-691 - These tickets are sub-tasks of VUFIND-135 (configurable social features); they have been opened in case we are able to implement a subset of the functionality prior to completing all possible options.
  • VUFIND-692 - This ticket is the new home for Ronan's Disqus patch, previously found on the more vague, open-ended VUFIND-534 ticket.
  • VUFIND-693 - This ticket is a reminder to upgrade to the next official SolrMarc release, which will allow us to close a number of other indexing-related tickets (see links on the ticket for details).
  • VUFIND-694 - This ticket offers a patch for rendering internal links (like help screens) in a lightbox instead of popping up a new browser window.
  • VUFIND-695 - This ticket (now resolved) tracks a new VuFind 2.0 feature: staying on the same page after logging out.
  • VUFIND-696 - This ticket mentions a problem in VuFind's Google Search API integration; since the API is no longer supported by Google, this has been closed as “Won't Fix” and the 2.0 upgrade script has been updated to notify users who configured the feature that it is no longer available.
  • VUFIND-697 - This ticket (now resolved) points to a bug in the 2.0beta install script. The issue will be fixed in 2.0RC1.
  • VUFIND-698 - This ticket proposes some expanded LDAP configuration options. Please comment if interested.
  • VUFIND-699 - This ticket (now resolved) points to a bug in 2.0beta configuration loading. This issue will be fixed in 2.0RC1.
  • 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.
  • 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.

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.

2. VuFind 2.0 Update

VuFind 2.0 has been updated to use Zend Framework 2.0.3.

All services registered in the top-level service manager have been prefixed with “VuFind\” to avoid naming conflicts with other modules.

We should discuss whether/how to split VuFind into reusable ZF2 modules.

3. VuFind Developers Summit 2012

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

5. Other Topics?

No other topics this week.
