 === Call Number Normalization ===
+No news this week. Tod is still doing testing on his end, but he is hoping the project will be completed soon.
 === Improved Author Indexing ===
-Demian has been reviewing [[https://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-542|VUFIND-542]], the JIRA ticket addressing more flexible representation of authors in VuFind. He plans on adapting this to a PR for VuFind 2 to bring it up to date and make it easier to discuss, but would appreciate input from others in the meantime if anyone else has time to look at the existing patches.
+Demian has been reviewing [[https://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-542|VUFIND-542]], the JIRA ticket addressing more flexible representation of authors in VuFind. He has begun a PR for VuFind 2 ([[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/354|#354]]) to bring it up to date and make it easier to discuss. There is still much to do! Input from others would be appreciated.
+Some discussion of SolrMarc internals needed to make the custom indexing logic more straightforward (Demian and Tod will discuss in more detail after the call).
+Some discussion of Demian's changes to facet functionality -- suggestion: change authorStr to author_facet for clarity.
+Tangent: discussion of tables of contents (somewhat inconsistent indexing; naming not ideal).
 === Solr Upgrade? ===

 === VuFind Solutions GitHub ===
+Chris set up a proof of concept branch for keeping features in GitHub: [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/tree/feature/offcanvas-menu|offcanvas menu branch]]. Naming convention: create a branch prefixed with "feature/".
+Still to do: build a wiki to document existing feature branches.
+Tod's suggestion: add a feature-specific README.md to the repo.
 === Permissions ===
-Demian sent a proposal to the mailing list but has received no feedback yet.

 ==== 3. Other Topics? ====
 Demian upgraded the wiki to improve security; he also reset most of the user accounts due to the high number of spammer accounts present in the system. Please re-register if you find yourself unable to log in.
+We ran a test of WebEx (generously offered by Filipe through EBSCO) as a possible future venue for the call. We may attempt to run the next call on WebEx if BigBlueButton is not able to be resurrected.
 ===== Next Call =====
 The next call will be Tuesday, May 12, 2015 at 10am Eastern Daylight Time (14:00 GMT).
