-We should set a target release date for VuFind 2.0.1.+We set a tentative target release date for VuFind 2.0.1: Monday, August 26, 2013.  
 + 
 +David observed that VuFindSearch and VuFindHttp are not true services but rather libraries. As a first step, David proposes no longer loading these as modules but instead including the code paths in the autoloader configuration.  We can revisit completely eliminating the modules at some future date. 
 + 
 +David proposed introducing a VuFindContrib module where experimental/unsupported functionality could be introduced prior to incorporation into the core. 
 + 
 +Luke brought up the subject of OR faceting; he would like to see the plumbing built first so that it can be used now, with user interface development coming later. 
 + 
 +David's proposal for ParameterProviders to manage search parameters may be helpful for implementing OR faceting -- this should be worked on for 2.1 or 2.2. 
 + 
 +Luke also brought up the topic of "guided search" (a different version of the advanced search form with less complexity). Ideally this should be possible by creating a new form that builds the existing parameters. 
 + 
 +Joe brought up the option of moving development to GitHub; there were no objections -- Demian will work on this after finishing his local development work for porting VU customizations to VF2. 
 + 
 +Joe also mentioned that his company is working on several public library oriented VuFind customizations, including a Polaris driver and a new web service for enhanced content.  He is currently experimenting with Solr's ExternalFile field type for volatile data (e.g. boosting books based on popularity data). 
 + 
 +Luke asked about new item search based purely on Solr; Tuan submitted a 1.x patch for this; it just needs to be cleaned up and ported to 2.x.
