 No news this week.
-=== Bootstrap 3 ===
+=== Bootstrap Theme Deprecation ===
-No news on Bootstrap 3 due to Chris' vacation. Some minor fixes, but no major problems.
+Demian posted a strategy to vufind-tech; no objections yet. Will implement once fully migrated off bootstrap at VU.
-Still in progress: LESS import behavior issues.
+=== PHP 5.4 upgrade ===
-Need to discuss: end of life of the old Bootstrap 2 theme; Demian will email vufind-tech with details in the near future.
+Still waiting for upgrades at VU to be able to proceed on this.
-=== PHP 5.4 upgrade ===
+=== Authorization ===
-CARLI is still using PHP 5.3; Demian will move forward cautiously and continue to inquire about people's situations before making the leap.
+Demian is giving some thought to role-based authorization functionality in VuFind. He will post some details to vufind-tech soon. Please share use cases.
 ==== 3. 2014 VuFind Summit ====
-CARLI will be represented at the Summit. This may be an opportunity to finalize the [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/166|consortialize pull request]] if it's not already merged by then.
+No news this week, but registration should be opening very soon.
+==== 4. Other Topics? ====
-==== 4. Other Topics? ====
+There was some brief discussion of replication misbehavior experienced by Anna. Demian suggested that perhaps a Solr upgrade is in order soon, though there are some SolrMarc-related limitations there that need to be investigated. He will see if he can find time to investigate further.
+Anna also mentioned the need for better error reporting in SolrMarc when indexing over HTTP.
-None this week.
+Chris asked about indexing speed over HTTP vs. direct writing; Demian pointed out that HTTP is slower but this can be compensated for by running simultaneous index jobs (he usually indexes two at once when doing a full reindex).
+Chris also asked about indexing of MFHD (holdings) records. Demian explained that his Voyager export has bibs + holdings, and he uses the SolrMarc record merging functionality to import the holdings into the bibs (as documented [[..:marc_export_notes#exlibris_voyager|here]]).
 ===== Next Call =====
-The next call will be Tuesday, September 2, 2014 at 10am Eastern Daylight Time (14:00 GMT).
