Attending: Filipe Bento, Judy Brink-Drescher, Chris Delis, Chris Hallberg, Anna Headley, Demian Katz, Markus Mächler, Benjamin Mosior, Ben Wiens
Agenda
1. Development Updates
JIRA Tickets
- VUFIND-988 - This ticket mentions an issue with Shibboleth and SSL. It may not be possible to solve this from the VuFind side, but please comment if you have ideas.
- VUFIND-989 - This ticket tracks a small bug (highlighting cannot be disabled) in the new EDS code.
- VUFIND-990, VUFIND-991 - These tickets propose new functionality for the admin module (a cache clearing tool and a user manager).
- VUFIND-992 - Basic Chicago Style citations have been added to the “Cite This” pop-up.
- VUFIND-993 - This ticket tracks changes in the Google Analytics API. Feel free to comment with suggestions on the upcoming transition.
- VUFIND-994 - This ticket is designed to collect comments on the Bootstrap 3 theme, since the previous VUFIND-987 ticket is so filled with migration notes that there is little room for discussion.
Pull Requests
- #165 - Merged: this PR makes some adjustments relating to VuFind's handling of MARC 785 fields with an indicator2 of 7 – the “Merged with … to form …” case.
- #166 - In progress: this PR contains CARLI's implementation of consortial features. Please take a look and share your comments.
- #168 - Merged: a small EDS bug fix.
- #169 - In progress: a proposal to add display support for the MARC 752 (hierarchical place name) tag.
2. Development Planning
Call Number Normalization
Luke has posted a revised call number handler on VUFIND-657, but it now has more dependencies than before due to changes in Solr architecture.
Eliminating -Xms from Solr Java Options
Following further discussion, it was decided that we probably should leave defaults as-is but provide better documentation/advice on determining proper Solr memory allocations. Any volunteers to help with this?
Bootstrap 3
Chris has continued work on this new theme.
3. Marketing
More work has been done on the revised current users page.
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?
5. Other Topics?
No other items this week.
Next Call
The next call will be Tuesday, July 8, 2014 at 10am Eastern Daylight Time (14:00 GMT).
