VuFind Developers Call Minutes: January 6, 2014
Attending: Karen Coombs, Chris Delis, Anna Headley, Demian Katz
Agenda
1. Development Updates
JIRA Tickets
- VUFIND-1018 - This ticket is resolved; VuFind now has a configurable option to activate bulk options (export/save/etc.) on all search results. This is off by default to keep the interface uncluttered.
- VUFIND-1064 - This ticket (now resolved) offers improved currency code configuration options in config.ini.
- VUFIND-1065 - This ticket tracks the issue that the export logic currently uses the same value as both a unique identifier for export formats AND the display label for those formats. We should probably separate the label from the ID for improved configurability/localization.
Pull Requests
- #260 - merged - improvements to the OAI server
- #261 - merged - typo fix
- #262 - in progress - This contains Demian's first pass at resolving VUFIND-1062, currently pending review/comments from Anna.
- #263 - merged - fix for VUFIND-1063 (changed the way messages are displayed after placing a hold).
- #264 - merged - translation updates
- #267 - merged - a simple alternate use for the hierarchy fields to track parent-child relationships.
- #269 - closed - apparently opened by accident
- #270 - merged - relaxed XML detection logic in MARC record driver
- #272 - merged - fixed some problems in the storage retrieval request forms
2. Development Planning
Call Number Normalization
WorldCatDiscovery / OCLC Web Services Update
Karen provided a quick update on work integrating VuFind with various OCLC web services. She talked with Chris D. about the possibility of extracting generic NCIP logic from the NCIP-based ILS drivers for better sharing and abstraction.
XCNCIP driver deprecation
During conversation, Chris expressed a desire for the removal of the old XCNCIP driver (as opposed to XCNCIP2). Demian offered to make this happen, as it had previously been discussed as acceptable to eliminate the obsolete version.
