 PR [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/159|#159]] recommended eliminating the -Xms option from the Solr Java options. There seems to be evidence that this is worth considering. PR [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/159|#159]] recommended eliminating the -Xms option from the Solr Java options.

 +Demian will contact Ben/Benjamin for their input. If no objection, will try running in production without it for a while to see if there are issues. If all is well, will change defaults.
  
 === Bootstrap 3 === === Bootstrap 3 ===
 +
 +Further discussion of general plan:
 +
 +  * Keep current bootstrap theme under current name, but deprecate so it will be removed in 2.4.
 +  * Call new theme bootstrap3 (major versions will likely be incompatible, so might as well identify in theme name)
 +  * put comments in config.ini to clarify relationship between themes
 +  * use upgrade script to warn users about deprecation of bootstrap theme
 +  * Chris will document steps for migrating custom templates
 +
 +Also some discussion of difficulties of keeping custom themes in sync with master themes. Demian recommended careful review of diffs when merging (to manually update affected custom templates) and suggested that users might recommend areas where templates could be broken up to ease localization.
 ==== 3. Marketing ==== ==== 3. Marketing ====
  
 +The prototype revised [[..:installation_status_new|current users]] page that Judy has been working on was discussed. Judy is going to email Demian an updated list of columns based on discussion. Demian and Chris will work on reordering the columns of the existing table and will also investigate the feasibility of automated link checking/version detection.
 +
 +Will also suggested the idea of a "submit your installation" form to help auto-populate the wiki. This might be something that could be built into the website in the future (to format a wiki entry and email it to Demian or Chris for insertion into the page).
