 We have continued making minor improvements to the main bootstrap theme, plus we have pushed out a "bootprint" theme that adds Blueprint-inspired styling. Chris has also opened a PR to use Less for CSS generation; we should discuss this in more detail.
-=== Solr Cache Settings ===
+Popular idea: include compiled CSS, but recommend putting write permission on target folder so customized Less files can be properly recompiled.
-Eoghan pointed out that some of our cache settings seem excessively high. At least one Solr expert agrees. Should we change them? If so, how do we determine better values?
 === eDisMax ===
 An edismax branch has been established in GitHub (see [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/42|this pull request]]); however, we need to decide how to proceed due to a Solr issue that causes edismax to handle NOT and - queries poorly.
+Conservative approach: off by default, when on, detects NOT, terms starting with - and fails over to old Lucene logic.
 === VuDL ===
-The VuDL front end code has been committed to master.
+The VuDL front end code has been committed to master and the back end is now available in GitHub. No documentation yet for the new version -- talk to Demian if you need help.
+=== Solr Cache Settings ===
+Eoghan pointed out that some of our cache settings seem excessively high. At least one Solr expert agrees. Should we change them? If so, how do we determine better values?
+=== Performance Testing ===
+Benjamin suggested setting up a shared document for devising test plans/documentation.
+Step 1: Outline scenarios
+Tod Olson could not make the call but emailed some suggestions; they will be incorporated into the testing scenario document.
+Demian suggested setting a timeline so that there is a fixed planning period and then actual testing begins.
+Benjamin & Ben are willing to take the lead on this effort.
+Benjamin will start up a collaborative document and send an email to the vufind-tech list with more details about scenario collection, testing start dates, etc.
 === 2.2 Release Target? ===
-Are we getting ready to schedule a 2.2 release soon?
+Are we getting ready to schedule a 2.2 release soon? Worth thinking about -- we'll discuss further on next call.
