-We should decide when to create the 2.3 branch and begin work on raising requirements for 2.4.+Demian made a call for feature requests for 2.3 so we can finalize that. There was also some discussion about raising PHP requirements for 2.4. Demian mentioned that beta packages for PHP 5.4 work well in RedHat Enterprise Linux 6, though he had to manually compile the mcrypt extension (no package available).
  
-We should discuss the upgrade to Bootstrap 3.+We discussed the possible theme upgrade to Bootstrap 3. Chris has some [[https://github.com/crhallberg/vufind/tree/bootstrap3|work in progress]] on GitHub. There was a question of when this upgrade should occur. Tod expressed preference for doing this in 2.3.
  
 +Chris mentioned that a lot of upgrade was completed with careful regular expressions -- he will share some of these for others to use.
 +
 +General plan: get work done by 2.3, include BS2-based theme as well as BS3-based theme for transition, but deprecate BS2 version and eliminate it in VuFind 2.4. We still need to discuss naming conventions for new themes.
 +
 +Demian and Chris will also discuss implications for Villanova's website and share any outcomes with others who might be making similar migrations.
 ==== 3. Marketing ==== ==== 3. Marketing ====
  
 +Chris will share web design prototypes with mailing list (didn't get to it since last call). He also pointed out a [[http://www.crhallberg.com/newvufind/about|design document]] on the updated site.
 +
 +Judy shared the idea of creating some fundamental marketing material on VuFind (targeted to management/layman) listing features, etc. Some examples:

 +  * [[http://molloycollegelibrary.com/vufind/features.pdf|Features]]
 +  * [[http://molloycollegelibrary.com/vufind/specs.pdf|Specs]]
 +
 +Judy pointed out that the [[community:installations]] page needs some work and volunteered to take a first pass at an improved/updated version.
