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 highAt least one Solr expert agrees. Should we change them? If so, how do we determine better values?+
  
 === eDisMax === === 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. 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.

 + 
 +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.
