 Master has been updated with new default cache settings based on our tests. These settings have been in use at Villanova for a couple of weeks now, and Solr appears much more stable than before. Master has been updated with new default cache settings based on our tests. These settings have been in use at Villanova for a couple of weeks now, and Solr appears much more stable than before.
 +
 +At this point, cache settings are finalized. We may want to investigate some other issues in the future, but we can take a break for now (KLN's available time for further testing is limited right now).
 +
 +Potential future areas of investigation are listed in a [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PpGj4N4OKDyOT4M_qiMg6wZYQwjsK3yDt8sY3eH5kq0/edit?usp=sharing|Google doc]].
 +
 +Action item (Demian): update wiki page to reflect current state of settings.
 +
 +There was some discussion about MySQL tuning (due to Luke having a potential MySQL-related outage). Anna suggested a tool called mysqltuner. This may be an area worthy of future investigation.

 Luke has reviewed his old call number normalization jar and discovered that it throws a null pointer exception with the latest version of Solr; it will have to be reworked if we need to use it (and the fact that Solr's API keeps changing and breaking custom modules is an argument against trying to maintain custom components if avoidable). Luke has reviewed his old call number normalization jar and discovered that it throws a null pointer exception with the latest version of Solr; it will have to be reworked if we need to use it (and the fact that Solr's API keeps changing and breaking custom modules is an argument against trying to maintain custom components if avoidable).
 +
 +Tod's refactoring might help make Luke's code easier to maintain.
 +
 +Tod has been busy with OLE but hopes to get back to this after July. Next step: post comments to solrmarc-tech (Tod will do this when he has time to participate in the conversation).

 +Chris has updated his [[http://www.crhallberg.com/newvufind/|mockup]] and will share with the list for more feedback before updating the actual site. Goal: finish redesign in time for 2.3 release in August.
 +
 +Suggestion: GitHub RSS feed integrated into website (in addition to Sourceforge news feed).
 ==== 4. Other Topics? ==== ==== 4. Other Topics? ====
  
 +Luke suggested that we should start adding more features to VuFind that benefit users who are using the software as a repository -- "Top 10 items," "Author of the week," "New item spinner," etc. He will open some tickets with ideas.
 +
 +Luke is also experimenting with [[http://orcid.org/|orcid]] integration.
 +
 +Some work in progress at [[https://cronfa.swan.ac.uk/|Cronfa]] and [[https://ifind.swan.ac.uk/discover/|iFind Discover]].
