Guenter has done some speed testing (using Solr 5 without docValues) and shared results on the mailing list (speed seems acceptable, but only with the help of SSD drives); more tests still need to be done. Because of many local customizations, it is difficult for Guenter to perform tests with docValues, but he will share results if/when he finds time. In the meantime, Demian will try to run some comparative speed tests using a larger data set.

-Work continues on the simplified lightboxthe recent pull request involving smarter use of HTTP status codes also helps with JS simplification.+This past cycle focused on the HTTP status code improvements (and the subsequent "Promise-ification" of AJAX calls); several incidental bugs and issues were fixed in the process. This work will now be merged into the simplified lightbox branch so that work may continue in the coming weeks.

No progress has been made on AJAX-driven cover information; since no one has come forward to work on this issue, Demian will drop it from the agenda until somebody claims [[https://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-1140|VUFIND-1140]].

 While we wait for ZF3, should we consider upgrading to ZF 2.5.x, which raises PHP minimum requirement to 5.5? Or should we be conservative and stick with 2.4.x, yet still upgrade to the latest of that line, 2.4.9? While we wait for ZF3, should we consider upgrading to ZF 2.5.x, which raises PHP minimum requirement to 5.5?

 +Consensus: try to aim for 5.5 by end of year (and progress toward PHP 7 is good). Demian will start a branch and we can decide on when to merge after more discussion about local infrastructures. (Many people still use 5.4, but progress is necessary).

Demian will continue testing/reviewing code in PR [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/584|#584]] and encourages input from others.

 +Guenter asked where we are in terms of 3.0 release date. Initial discussion suggests that end of March or end of April may be ideal -- we will discuss this further on the next call. Much will depend on progress with Solr 5 issues (such as docValues).
