| * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-630|VUFIND-630]] - Demian has posted some notes here about a Windows-only bug related to Wikipedia parsing; a workaround has been found, though the ticket is still open since there are several possible long-term resolutions. Eoghan has proposed linking to the ticket from Windows install documentation, [[..:use_of_external_content|external content page]], config.ini and/or the 2.x auto-installer. | * [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-630|VUFIND-630]] - Demian has posted some notes here about a Windows-only bug related to Wikipedia parsing; a workaround has been found, though the ticket is still open since there are several possible long-term resolutions.

| Al is working on a problem with his AlphaBrowse customizations: user input needs to be normalized to match the indexed data so that when a user types a search to jump to a particular position in the browse list, they actually go to the correct position. Al will try to solve this through custom PHP normalization routines (though it would be nice to have a way to use the same Java routines for indexing and searching, similar to Solr analysis chains... but this may be less practical at present). | Al is working on a problem with his AlphaBrowse customizations: user input needs to be normalized to match the indexed data so that when a user types a search to jump to a particular position in the browse list, they actually go to the correct position.

| Sean asked about entry points to learning the 2.0 code -- Demian will try to write some blog posts about unit testing to make that option more viable. He also suggested looking at the new PHPMD results in Jenkins -- investigating possible problem areas in the code might be a good way to dive in and begin learning about it. | Sean asked about entry points to learning the 2.0 code -- Demian will try to write some blog posts about unit testing to make that option more viable.

| There was also some discussion about VuFind's compliance with Zend Framework 2 conventions/standards; Demian has tried to follow existing practices (with the exception of the theme system, which is intentionally different). However, it is very possible that some details have been missed -- feel free to share any concerns when reviewing the code. | There was also some discussion about VuFind's compliance with Zend Framework 2 conventions/standards; Demian has tried to follow existing practices (with the exception of the theme system, which is intentionally different).

| | Filipe also talked about the Solr [[http://wiki.apache.org/solr/DataImportHandler|DataImportHandler]], which offers capabilities for populating the Solr index using external data sources (including RSS feeds). There was some discussion of the fact that indexing an RSS feed directly could make rebuilding the index difficult -- some archival process (or possibly use of Google Reader's existing archive/API) may be necessary in parallel with indexing to capture the data necessary to rebuild. |
