 === 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 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).
