 +Work on Jochen's pull request to display record information inline in search results ([[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/205|#205]]) has revealed some shortcomings in our Javascript. With a bit of work, it can be made more flexible and reusable. Chris is working on some refactoring to address these limitations and to improve maintainability of the code. When this is done, we should finally be able to merge this pull request (currently our oldest open PR).
 +
 +Chris noted that his refactoring will likely include namespacing the code by moving much of it into a global "vufind" object, and that he will also be moving some functions into more appropriate locations (e.g. lightbox-specific details into lightbox.js). He also mentioned investigating dynamic solutions such as [[http://requirejs.org/|RequireJS]] but not finding them appropriate to our specific use cases.

Development is now frozen (apart from bug fixes/translation updates).
