VuFind Developers Call Minutes: May 10, 2016

Attending: Matthias Edel, Leila Gonzales, Chris Hallberg, Demian Katz, André Lahmann, Jochen Lienhard, Brad Patton

Agenda

1. Development Updates

JIRA Tickets

VUFIND-1170 - Staff view didn't display spaces in MARC records properly; the issue has been fixed. Resolved by PR #694.
VUFIND-1171 - Documents some problems with the alphabetic browse scripts in release 3.0; these issues will all be fixed in 3.0.1 (and are already fixed in the master and release-3.0 branches).

Pull Requests

#688 - merged - Updates to XCNCIP2 ILS driver.
#689 - in progress - Work on supporting MARC relator term edge cases.
#690 - in progress - Improvements to LBS4 ILS driver.
#691 - merged - Minor MARC record driver bug fix.
#692 - merged - Translation improvements.
#693 - in progress - New “channels” browse mode (see below).
#694 - merged - Fix for VUFIND-1170.
#695 - merged - Fixed typos in Solr config file comments.
#696 - merged - Removes some obsolete logic/styling that is no longer needed thanks to the improved lightbox implementation.
#697 - in progress - Removes the Villanova-specific VuDL logic from master since it is taking up space and nobody else is using it; if we replace this with something of use to the broader community, we will share it.
#698 - in progress - Addresses a bug in cache key generation for ILS drivers; prompts some discussion about caching in general.
#699 - in progress - Bug fix related to “request groups” while placing holds; Demian will review (and likely merge) very soon.

2. Development Planning

Front-end Issues

Things to do:

Discuss Grunt (see PR #659)
Discuss Channels (see #693)
Finish “bootstrap3-list” pull request.
Fix the “two search boxes for responsiveness” problem
Settle on code styling (see suggested reading)
Dealing with MARC 880 field

API

Modularization

Should we consider moving VuFind's OAI-PMH harvester to a separate project? Its only dependency is Zend\Console.

Next ZF Version

Improved Use of Permissions

Improved Geographic Features

GitHub Features (tagging, PR templates, etc.)

Ere was not able to attend the call but reported via Slack his dissatisfaction with the PR template (particularly the fact that long PR titles overflow AFTER the template rather than before it, causing a strange result).

3. Other Topics?

Next Call

The next call will be Tuesday, May 24, 2016 at 9am Eastern Daylight Time (13:00 GMT).
