2. Development Planning

Improved Author Indexing

André was able to provide us with some test records before going on leave, but Demian has not had time to invest further work in this since the last call.

Solr Upgrade

Demian has begun work on a Solr 5 branch, and basic indexing / alphabrowse support is now working (thanks to help from Mark Triggs). We still have to discuss several details of how best to incorporate Solr into VuFind in the future. This will likely be decided for VuFind 3, with VuFind 2 remaining on Solr 4 for the sake of legacy compatibility.

Release 2.5 Features

  • WorldCat Discovery API (#218)? Dependent on progress at OCLC.
  • Improved author indexing (#354)? Dependent on progress with SolrMarc project.
  • Text domain support (#419)? Probably.
