 ==== 2. Development Planning ====
 === 2.3 Release ===
+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.
 === Call Number Normalization ===
@@ Line 41: / Line 45: @@
 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.
 === 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 [[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.
 ==== 3. Marketing ====
+Chris has begun applying new styles (from his [[http://www.crhallberg.com/newvufind/about|design document]]) to wiki. Some color choices needed to be adjusted (backgrounds too bright, etc.).
+Good progress: tables are now readable, for example. Table sorting still in progress.
+The main web page is going to be hosted on GitHub pages -- also a work in progress.
 ==== 4. 2014 VuFind Summit ====
+No news yet -- Demian hopes to meet soon to make sure the library can host the event this year. More information once that is done.
 ==== 5. Other Topics? ====
+None this week.
