Agenda

1. Development Updates

JIRA Tickets

  • VUFIND-989 - The EDS “cannot disable highlighting” bug has been fixed.
  • VUFIND-995 - This ticket discusses revision of Bootstrap theme lightbox code to use an event-driven approach (currently targeted for 2.4).
  • VUFIND-996 - This ticket addresses a bug in the database-driven statistics code – resolved.
  • VUFIND-997 - This ticket proposes improved error handling in the feedback module.
  • VUFIND-998 - This ticket tracks a small improvement that needs to be made in the language files (to update a revised string across all languages).

Pull Requests

  • #170 - In progress: this PR contain's Demian's refactoring of third-party content logic (reviews, excerpts, etc.) to decouple logic from the view and make everything more modular.
  • #171 - Merged: a small fix to indexing of latitude/longitude (note that fix currently affects .bsh only – we need to wait for the next SolrMarc release for global support).
  • #172 - Merged: a fix for a duplicate [Social] section in config.ini.

2. Development Planning

Call Number Normalization

Bootstrap 3

MySQL and UTF-8

Tod pointed out that MySQL only supports up to 3-byte UTF-8 characters by default. 4-byte support can be enabled but has some trade-offs as described here.

3. Marketing

Eoghan completed an experiment to convert Dokuwiki into GitHub pages and determined that the results are inferior to the original. Recommendation: stick with Dokuwiki for now.
