 ==== 2. Development Planning ====
+=== ChoiceAuth ===
+Anna's pull request creates a new level of auth-module-specific template abstraction to allow the side-by-side "choose your authentication type" form to be displayed. There were no objections to introducing this modification to master. Demian will merge after a couple of remaining outstanding issues are resolved.
+One thought for the future: a mapping mechanism to reconcile differing usernames between different authentication methods. For now, Anna will add a comment to the config file noting that all auth methods must return compatible username values.
 === Admin Refactoring ===
+Chris has been looking into refactoring the admin controller to better separate out different parts of the functionality and to incorporate Luke's tag management code.
+The consensus was that moving admin functionality to a VuFindAdmin module was the best approach -- added security and modularity, with only minimal inconvenience (adding one line to httpd-vufind.conf).
 === Bootstrap Theme ===
+Work is ongoing -- some bugs still need fixing.
 === eDisMax ===
+It is now possible to turn on Extended Dismax in config.ini (global default) or searchspecs.yaml (handler-by-handler override). This will remain off by default until some Solr-side bugs are fixed. Demian is interested in feedback on how well relevance ranking performs with the new handler.
 === Performance Testing ===
-==== 3. Other Topics? ====
+A filter cache scenario has been added to the [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PpGj4N4OKDyOT4M_qiMg6wZYQwjsK3yDt8sY3eH5kq0/edit?usp=sharing|Google doc]]. More scenarios will be welcomed; Benjamin and Ben also plan to revisit the mailing list to see if they can find any additional ideas from past discussions.
-No other topics this week.
+Anna suggested the possibility of doing further investigation of garbage collection scenarios (as begun at the Summit Hackfest).
+==== 3. Other Topics? ====
+No other topics this week. Hajo plans to suggest some new agenda items in January.
