| === Additional Developments === |
| |
| Thanks to the help of Chelsea Lobdell from Tri-Colleges, VuFind now has Primo Central and LibGuides search backends. |
| |
Several additional PRs have been opened and merged recently resolving various small bugs (mostly in the Bootstrap theme). Most serious: [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/124|#124]], which fixes a problem with "cancel selected holds" in the Blueprint theme. | |

| They ran tests with the default 1024 solr options |
| Got a high hit ratio of .98 |
| This will probably be the recommended setting |
| He ran a test with their larger index and (what sounded like) a 512 solr cache |
| He wants to do another week or two of testing and wants us to test on the Villanova index. |
| If we get a hit ratio in the .8-.9 range, they'll be very happy. |

We now need to come up with a strategy/timeline for updating the website and the master code. Do we need any additional website improvements (CSS/layout) in parallel with the logo change? | Ben has run a survey for a tagline (with the winner "Search. Discover. Share.") and has made further refinements to his new logo, which has been pushed to Git master. We should now discuss whether/how to adjust the vufind.org website to match. |
