Attending:

• VUFIND-1033 - A workaround has been found to address the Bootstrap autocomplete limitation discussed here, so the ticket is now resolved.
• VUFIND-1111 - A significant bug in the translation system was reported here (related to the changes introduced in the latest Zend Framework release); this results in the footer of every page being incorrectly translated in release 2.4. A fix will be included in release 2.4.1.
• VUFIND-1112 - This discussion of bad OpenURL links turned out to be related to a local customization, but it raised some questions about better generic behavior that might be worth discussing further.

• #355, #359 - merged - Trivial changes to eliminate notices/strict messages.
• #356 - merged - An adjustment to the Travis configuration to resolve a problem caused by a Travis update.
• #357 - in progress - Link resolver driver for Redi.
• #358 - merged - An update to ReCaptcha support to account for API changes.
• #360 - merged - Minor fix to the “library cards” functionality.
• #361 - merged - Performance improvement: do no activate highlighting support when unnecessary.

• #366 - in progress - Facet-specific sort configuration to allow some facet fields to be sorted alphabetically.
• #367 - in progress - Proof of concept refactoring to make recommendation module processing event-driven.
• #368 - in progress - Improvements to translation of hierarchical facets.

Demian has made progress on #354, making all of the necessary PHP and XSLT updates to deal with multi-valued primary authors. At this point, the only outstanding issues have to do with porting the indexing routines into the SolrMarc core and dealing with the “author initials” portion of the original proposal (which is essentially a separate issue). Testing/feedback would be appreciated at this point.

The “offcanvas” feature used as an example last time has been made configurable and merged to master, so we need a new sample feature to move this forward!

Some discussion recently arose on the list about giving VuFind a more robust API for accessing information programmatically. Ideas and suggestions for such a project would be welcomed.

The next call will be Tuesday, May 26, 2015 at 10am Eastern Daylight Time (14:00 GMT).
