+Demian described the new Channels feature (an improved browse mode to aid serendipitous discovery) and encouraged others to try out the pull request and comment on it.

+  * Fix the "two search boxes for responsiveness" problem
+  * Settle on code styling (see [[https://github.com/airbnb/javascript/tree/master/es5|suggested reading]])
+Deferred for next call.
+  * Dealing with MARC 880 field
 André has implemented some methods to locate and display MARC 880 content (supporting indexing and display). He will open a pull request when time permits.
+  * Status update:
 Chris is working to untangle a set of interconnected pull requests. Biggest one: using Bootstrap media objects to simplify HTML/styling of search and list results. Merging this will simplify the bootstrap3-list pull request and hopefully allow that to be merged very soon. Also significant: removing VuDL, to simplify FontAwesome accessibility pull request and allow that to be merged as well. Another small project: improving escaping of ampersands inside HTML attributes.

 Should we consider moving VuFind's OAI-PMH harvester to a separate project? Its only dependency is Zend\Console. Demian will put this on his to-do list.
+Jay asked if we had considered giving the ILS drivers their own project; Demian mentioned that André had also suggested this (possibly in combination with something like a DAIA wrapper to optionally utilize the drivers as a stand-alone API). It is mainly a question of finding time to do the refactoring. Jay also mentioned the issue of compatibility -- the driver API might need better versioning if maintained independently of VuFind itself.
 === Next ZF Version ===
-No news.
+No news, except to say that Villanova is getting closer to upgrading PHP and thus being ready for this change. At this point, it looks most likely that a ZF upgrade will happen with VuFind 4.0 in about a year's time, with a 3.1 added-feature release happening somewhere in between.
 === Improved Use of Permissions ===
