| === Improved Author Indexing === | === Improved Author Indexing === | ||
| + | |||
| + | André and Demian have been working on getting the indexing and display of author relators right; a solution has nearly been reached. Some progress has also been made on indexing corporate authors separately from non-corporate authors to reduce the amount of MARC-specific logic coded into VuFind' | ||
| === Solr Upgrade === | === Solr Upgrade === | ||
| + | |||
| + | Demian has been doing some research into docValues. See comments on [[https:// | ||
| + | |||
| + | Ere mentioned that National Library of Finland is using docvalues on dynamic fields currently without obvious performance problems. However, they are experiencing some problems on their development instance which they hope will be resolved by the release of Solr 5.4. Demian suggested that it may be wise to wait on merging Solr 5 to master until 5.4 is released so that we can confirm that it helps with performance. | ||
| === Javascript Reorganization === | === Javascript Reorganization === | ||
| + | More tests have been written, and the test suite has been adjusted to allow both Selenium and Zombie.js drivers to be used (for either convenient headless testing, or for the ability to watch the tests executing in a real browser). Unfortunately, | ||
| ==== 3. VuFind 3 Roadmapping ==== | ==== 3. VuFind 3 Roadmapping ==== | ||
| - | These items were noted down at the VuFind Summit; we should determine which should move to the ongoing development discussion, which should become JIRA tickets, who should work on what, etc. | + | Two main topics from Guenter: |
| - | Refactoring of Modules | + | 1.) Refactor application |
| - | * Separate modules for search backends? | + | |
| - | * How much is too much? | + | |
| - | * ILS drivers | + | |
| - | API | + | 2.) Try to build API for some functionality. |
| - | * Where? How? | + | |
| - | * Simple extension of existing RSS feed? What else? | + | |
| - | * Consider on a per-module basis for organization | + | |
| - | * Needs to be extendable | + | |
| - | Permissions | + | These goals should be approached incrementally. First step: spend two or three months gathering information, |
| - | * Move forward with Demian' | + | |
| - | Language Namespacing | + | One example: factoring out covers to a separate module. |
| - | * Tokenize more, chunk less | + | |
| - | * API strings are a problem | + | |
| - | * Move towards [[http:// | + | |
| - | Minimum system requirements | + | Another possibility: |
| - | * Solr 5? | + | |
| - | * PHP 5.5? | + | |
| - | * Compare to requirements of Zend Framework 3 | + | |
| - | Should we continue to bundle the vendor directory? | + | For next year, Markus (Guenter' |
| - | * Leaning towards no | + | |
| - | * Install package would be fine | + | |
| - | * Git hooks | + | |
| - | More asynchronous loading of inline elements | + | Guenter has built a search API prototype using APIgility. Ere is also working on an API prototype (see [[https:// |
| - | * Holdings Tab | + | |
| - | * More Like This | + | |
| - | Investigate new Solr spelling options | + | Demian favored initially searching for "low hanging fruit" to factor out in simple ways (just reusable code, not ZF2 modules). This should make the core smaller make the more complex problems easier to analyze. |
| - | Support Solr date range fields | + | André pointed out that components may help spread out maintenance responsibility for the project |
| - | Revisit binary availability status in ILS interface. | + | We also briefly discussed the other items from the [[community: |
| - | Cover generator options | + | Demian will try to find time to move forward on the permissions discussed in an email earlier in the year. |
| - | * Cache proxied urls | + | |
| - | * Pattern-based image retrieval from local file system | + | |
| - | Better documentation about command line tools, LESS, etc. | + | We still need volunteers to work on some of the language file improvements. |
| - | ==== 4. Other Topics? ==== | + | Demian has made progress on de-bundling the vendor directory (see [[https:// |
| - | ==== 5. Next Call Date ==== | + | Ere is working on asynchronous loading of the holding tab. |
| + | |||
| + | New Solr spelling options are on André' | ||
| + | |||
| + | Demian will investigate Solr date range fields. | ||
| + | |||
| + | André mentioned that his discussions with Oliver about overcoming limitations of displaying ILS data in VuFind may help inspire improvements to the currently limited and possibly overcomplicated interface for dealing with availability status. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Demian will investigate the cover generator feature requests discussed at the Summit. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Demian will work on documenting command line tools. | ||
| + | ==== 4. Next Call Date/ | ||
| + | |||
| + | There has been some renewed discussion about the call platform; there may be a need to find a more Linux-friendly call mechanism without the 10-person limitation of Google Hangouts. We attempted a demo of [[https:// | ||
