2. Development Planning
Performance Testing
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.
Call Number Normalization
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).
Release Date for 2.3
Demian suggested setting an August release date for 2.3.
3. Marketing
