| Demian has established the release-2.3 branch. All bug fixes and remaining improvements for 2.3 will be implemented on this branch and merged to master. All development outside the scope of the 2.3 release will be done directly against master. |

Discussion: should we maintain SCSS support? | Discussion: should we maintain SCSS support? |

| Right now, LESS support is better in the PHP ecosystem than SCSS support. The call was generally in favor of eliminating SCSS support for now -- we'll consult with Luke O'Sullivan (who might be using it) before removing it -- perhaps he will help us improve support, but if he doesn't object to its removal, we'll just get rid of it. |

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 [[http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/charset-unicode-upgrading.html|here]]. | 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 [[http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/charset-unicode-upgrading.html|here]]. |

| No strong opinions on this call. Demian will open a JIRA ticket to track this and allow deeper discussion. A reminder will also be sent to vufind-tech to solicit input. |

| Chris has begun applying new styles to wiki. Some color choices needed to be adjusted (backgrounds too bright, etc.). |
| |
| Good progress: tables are now readable, for example. |
| |
| The main web page is going to be hosted on GitHub pages -- also a work in progress. |
