Code Freeze

After slight delays, code was frozen on April 6. The frozen code can be found in the release-3.0 branch, where only bug fixes and translation updates will be applied. New features can still be developed in master, but they will not be released until 3.1 or 4.0 (whichever comes next).

2. Development Planning

Javascript Reorganization

All major work is now done, so we will drop this item from the agenda. However, we should continue to discuss front end improvements on a regular basis.

Things to do:

  1. Discuss Grunt
  2. Finish “bootstrap3-list” pull request
  3. Fix the “two search boxes for responsiveness” problem
  4. Settle on code styling (see suggested reading)

André would like to do more work with Grunt and hopes to look into it in a month or so. Work on updating the Foundation5 theme is underway; the branch will be updated to match release-3.0 in the near future.

API

No news.

Modularization

No news.

Next ZF Version

No news.

Improved Use of Permissions

No news.

Improved Geographic Features

Some discussion by email after last call. Next steps: add geographic fields to Solr schema and standardize map display to use OpenLayers instead of Google Maps.

4. Other Topics?

Next Call

The next call will be Tuesday, April 26, 2016 at 9am Eastern Daylight Time (13:00 GMT).
