Agenda
1. Development Updates
JIRA Tickets

- 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
No news this week.
Bootstrap 3
The bootstrap3 and bootprint3 themes have been merged to master. The CSS for these themes is compiled from LESS. Tools are bundled in to allow either on-the-fly or command-line-triggered compilation of LESS, but by default, it is not necessary for end users to use LESS unless they want to.
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.
Chris is currently in the process of revising the main website pages and will be looking at wiki theming soon.
4. 2014 VuFind Summit
Demian is still working on getting approval for the 2014 summit. It may take a few more weeks to get all the detailed sorted out.
