 ==== 2. Development Planning ====
 === Improved Author Indexing ===
+André has returned from leave, so activity on this should pick up soon. Demian is willing to do more work on this as needed.
 === Solr Upgrade ===
+Solr 5 facet performance problems described by [[https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-7730|SOLR-7730]] and [[https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-8096|SOLR-8096]] suggest that we should revisit the docValues configuration discussion begun on [[https://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-1100|VUFIND-1100]].
 === Javascript Reorganization ===
+Good progress is being made on the creation of test classes -- much more of VuFind's Javascript behavior is now being tested, which will hopefully reduce the number of future regressions. A little more work needs to be done before we can fully test the in-progress refactoring work.
 ==== 3. VuFind Summit 2015 ====
 The Summit was a success, though further work is needed on roadmapping.
+==== 3.1. Roadmap ====
+Refactoring of Modules
+  * Separate modules for search backends?
+  * How much is too much?
+  * ILS drivers to a module with DAIA/PAIA interface
+API
+  * Where? How?
+  * Simple extension of existing RSS feed? What else?
+  * Consider on a per-module basis for organization
+  * Needs to be extendable
+Permissions
+  * Move forward with Demian's email proposal
+Language Namespacing
+  * Tokenize more, chunk less
+  * API strings are a problem (EDS)
+  * Move towards [[http://translatewiki.net|Translate Wiki]]
+Minimum system requirements
+  * Solr 5?
+  * PHP 5.5?
+  * Compare to requirements of Zend Framework 3
+Should we continue to bundle the vendor directory?
+  * Leaning towards no
+  * Install package would be fine
+  * Git hooks
+More asynchronous loading of inline elements
+  * Holdings Tab
+  * More Like This
+Investigate new Solr spelling options
+Support Solr date range fields (Solr 5)
+Revisit binary availability status in ILS interface.
+Cover generator options
+  * Cache proxied urls
+  * Pattern-based image retrieval from local file system
+Better documentation about command line tools, LESS, etc.
