 We should discuss changes to default settings in 2.0.  For example, should Author module continue to use ExpandFacets by default?
+David and Demian discussed next steps for search integration.  David will prepare a branch that Demian will pull into the main VuFind repo for future development.
 ==== 4. Linked Data ====
+Apart from a recent mailing list post from David about an online class on the subject, no new development this time around.
 ==== 5. DataImportHandler Update ====
+Filipe has continued experimenting with the Solr DataImportHandler using an [[http://ocw.mit.edu/rss/all/mit-allcourses.xml|XML file (warning: large)]] containing the [[http://ocw.mit.edu/index.htm|MIT OCW]] record set.  He had to work around some limitations of the XPathEntityProcessor and a problem with the DataImportHandler failing to respect <copyField> directives in the Solr schema.  Eventually these problems were overcome -- here is an [[http://pastebin.com/rvvaXD51|example configuration]] used to push data through the DataImportHandler after first preprocessing it with some XSLT transforms.
+Filipe has also experimented with using Google Reader to pull data from RSS feeds for import.  In the OCW example, RSS data is available to supplement the initial raw XML document.  There are limitations on how many records can be retrieved in this fashion (1,000 per pack) and the resulting XML requires some preprocessing (Filipe used sed) before it can be cleanly imported through the DataImportHandler.
 ==== 6. Other Topics? ====
+Demian will be at [[http://www.code4lib.org/conference/2013|Code4Lib]] next week and will try to fit a VuFind breakout session into the schedule.
