 +No news this week. Tod is still doing testing on his end, but he is hoping the project will be completed soon.

 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. Demian has been reviewing [[https://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-542|VUFIND-542]], the JIRA ticket addressing more flexible representation of authors in VuFind.

 +
 +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).

 +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.

 +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.
