Chris has continued work on this new theme. | Chris has continued work on this new theme. Good, fast progress due to good design of Bootstrap 3. Demian is now working on testing, trying to break. Please comment on [[http://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-994|VUFIND-994]] as previously noted. Chris is also interested in hearing what people do with the expanded capabilities of a theme that uses modern HTML/CSS. Current challenge in progress: dealing with the way LESS writes CSS files to disk. |
| |
| Idea: create command line tool to generate compiled LESS rather than doing it on the fly. |
| |
| Some discussion of LESS vs. SASS/SCSS: right now, easy to maintain both as they are very similar. |
| |
| Migration notes are being collected in JIRA. Chris will compile/reorganize and post to wiki prior to 2.3 release. |
| |
| Code can be tried on Chris' [[https://github.com/crhallberg/vufind/tree/bootstrap3|GitHub account]]. |

Waiting for Chris to get access to Subversion repository containing old website/wiki so he can begin retheming work in earnest. In the meantime, feel free to fill in missing information in the revised [[..:installation_status_new|current users]] page. Demian will make this live once some of the other details have been sorted out. |

==== 4. 2014 VuFind Summit ==== | ==== 4. 2014 VuFind Summit ==== |
| |
| There was discussion about whether there should be a 2014 VuFind Summit and what it should look like. Demian does not have specific structured activities in mind, but last year's free-form hackfest was very productive. Open question: are there structured activities people are specifically interested in, and if not, would an unstructured event be worth the expense/travel? |
| |
| Filipe mentioned that he will be attending [[http://www.hebis.de/eng/vufind-anwendertreffen-2014_en.php|this conference]]. |
| |
| It was suggested that Demian could talk about Zend Framework and VuFind's use of it -- Demian would be willing. Benjamin volunteered to talk about Solr cache optimization. |
| |
| Demian will go over more details on the Villanova end, then put together a survey/call for proposals to share on the mailing lists. |
