-We have continued making minor improvements.

Chris has also opened a PR to use Less for CSS generation; we should discuss this in more detail. 
 + 
 +Popular idea: include compiled CSS, but recommend putting write permission on target folder so customized Less files can be properly recompiled. 
 + 
 +=== 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 and the back end is now available in GitHub. No documentation yet for the new version -- talk to Demian if you need help.

 Eoghan pointed out that some of our cache settings seem excessively high. At least one Solr expert agrees. Should we change them?

-=== VuDL ===+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? ===
  
-The VuDL front end code has been committed to master.+Are we getting ready to schedule a 2.2 release soon? Worth thinking about -- we'll discuss further on next call.
