 == Grunt ==
   * see [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/659|PR #659]]
+Not a lot of progress in past two weeks, but Chris is currently working on "theme packing" feature which compiles a tree of themes into a single directory to speed up retrieval by eliminating file searches.
+Chris also reiterated emphasis on simplicity in default Grunt implementation.
 == Channels ==
   * see [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/693|PR #693]] for progress
+Demian and Chris have made progress on display of thumbnails and navigation of results. More work still to be done!
 == JS Code Styling with ESLint ==
   * see [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/700|PR #700]]
+Chris has set up some ESLint rules in PR #700 and is adjusting JS in a rule-by-rule fashion. He has a separate branch (not pushed yet) where Travis is checking ESLint and the build is passing. Please post to #700 or email Chris if you have strong feelings about this; otherwise, the style changes will go in place this week.
+Next step after JS cleanup: template styling.
 == General Status Update ==
+Bootstrap3-list pull request (full records embedded in search results) should be merged very soon. Demian thanks all involved in its development.
 === API ===
+Ere reports that National Library of Finland search API is in production, well-received so far. Some work on CORS still needed. A PR is forthcoming after some cleanup and work on configurability.
 === Modularization ===
+Demian did some cleanup of VuFindHttp and VuFindCode to bring those in line with the main VuFind project. No other major changes.
 === Next ZF Version ===
+No news this week.
 === Improved Use of Permissions ===
+Work continues on PR [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/608|#608]].
 === Improved Geographic Features ===
+Leila reports that geographic search and display code using OpenLayers 3 all complete and working well. Search allows search by bounding box. Display shows polygons and/or points with pop-up labels. Currently working on moving some functionality into config.ini file so labels can be turned on/off, etc. A couple of odd things: order of stored coordinates differs from how they are displayed (quirk of OpenLayers).
+Some discussion about the possibility of making label retrieval more configurable, supporting multiple data sources.
 === GitHub Features (tagging, PR templates, etc.) ===

 Demian has updated the DocValues pull request ([[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/588|#588]]) to work with Solr 5; however, there is still a question as to whether this is needed at all. Demian proposes closing the PR and moving the work to a feature branch.
+Ere brought up [[https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-9176|SOLR-9176]], which references an existing Solr 5/6 faceting problem.
+There was further discussion about changes related to docValues (and the murkiness of this subject). It was decided to leave the PR open for now as a point of discussion.
 === Dropping ZombieJS Support ===
@@ Line 78: / Line 106: @@
 Now that Chris and Demian have standardized the integration test workflow using Selenium, there are a number of tests that cannot pass in ZombieJS due to missing features. Demian checked to see if anyone objected to making Selenium the default integration test option and removing ZombieJS-related functionality from CI configuration.
+No objections.
 ==== 3. Institutional Home, Revisited ====
+Investigation of the subject continues. No major news as yet.
 ==== 4. VuFind Summit 2016 ====
-The VuFind Summit will take place on October 10-11, 2016.
+The VuFind Summit will take place at Villanova on October 10-11, 2016. This overlaps with the annual German VuFind meeting; Demian and Jochen will investigate whether we can take advantage of this fact.
 ==== 5. Other Topics? ====
+André and Oliver plan on opening a pull request this week with an updated DAIA driver and the first release of the new PAIA driver.
