 === Release 3.1.2 ===
-The release went out yesterday, as planned.
+The release went out yesterday, as planned. As usual, a couple of small bugs have already been discovered since the release, so a 3.1.3 is likely.
 ==== 2. Development Planning ====
 === Image Metadata API Revisited ===
+Discussion continued on [[https://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-1140|VUFIND-1140]]. [[https://vufind.org/jira/browse/VUFIND-1137|VUFIND-1137]] was also mentioned.
 === Breaking Up Templates ===
+Some discussion of which templates might justify further refactoring -- Chris suggested SideFacets.phtml as a candidate. Ere is also doing some work on supporting multiple images per record which may reveal further areas for improvement.
 === Channels ===
+[[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/693|#693]] is very close to being ready for merging. Please test, and comment on whether the Channels name or general UI can be improved.
 === Modularization ===
+No news.
 === Next ZF Version ===
+Demian is in the midst of configuring the last server at VU that is holding up the PHP version bump. There may be a brief disruption of vufind.org when this cuts over. More news soon.
 === Improved Use of Permissions ===
+No news.
 === Solr 6 ===
+Please test [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/869|#869]].
 === Deprecation Progress ===
+[[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/883|#883]] removes BeanShell scripts and improves Java code organization. Demian plans to merge after documenting best practices.
 === Other Front End Updates ===
+Search placeholder pull request ([[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/885|#885]]) has backend-based configuration -- let us know if greater flexibility is needed.
+Improved mobile search result view ([[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/881|#881]]) -- please suggest improvements here if you have any further ideas beyond what has been done here.
+New template/view helper for add/remove from cart button to make cart interface more flexible ([[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/884|#884]]).
+Please review language tokenization PR and let us know if we missed anything ([[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/860|#860]]).
+Loading performance improvements ([[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/882|#882]]) - Chris has been using [[https://github.com/GoogleChrome/lighthouse|Lighthouse]], a tool for measuring page performance, to collect some suggestions. Main change to discuss here: most scripts are loaded as "deferred" and a mechanism is introduced to support this. The details of that mechanism may merit further discussion. There was some discussion on how this could interact with the asset pipeline.
 == New Theme? ==
+For 4.0, Chris is considering developing a new default theme to provide a more modern appearance than the current bootprint theme.
 ==== 3. VuFind Usage Survey ====
-[[https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.surveymonkey.com%2Fr%2FPreview%2F%3Fsm%3DLzmAIsnqv6TU8Nr8oT4geeEBIzHS6L5BViyJbGgS2rlBC7oFcC8LmpXsIoQg3u_2FNBjNvb_2B684zZpDQxf_2FZO_2B32LxnawDyS_2FXv7LjJb65PvNbUlJUJ9OOyCZhZ6tojJ_2Bq&data=01%7C01%7Cdemian.katz%40villanova.edu%7C07e36c2a018f44c3d86908d42aa5606a%7C765a8de5cf9444f09cafae5bf8cfa366%7C1&sdata=wcY1S%2FYA9MMTITYptWMFqXh9GdWSrqEVU5l2gMLH9%2F8%3D&reserved=0|Preview]].
+Chris showed a [[https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Preview/?sm=LzmAIsnqv6TU8Nr8oT4geeEBIzHS6L5BViyJbGgS2rlBC7oFcC8LmpXsIoQg3u_2FNBjNvb_2B684zZpDQxf_2FZO_2B32LxnawDyS_2FXv7LjJb65PvNbUlJUJ9OOyCZhZ6tojJ_2Bq|preview]] of a VuFind usage survey. Please share any suggestions on additional questions, etc., via Slack or the vufind-tech mailing list. Chris plans to send the survey out in February and leave it open for a while.
 ==== 4. Institutional Home ====
+No news this time -- Demian expects to have another meeting on the subject soon.
 ==== 5. Other Topics? ====
+There is a new 'devcall' label on pull requests in GitHub; Chris will use this to highlight pull requests discussed in the dev call to encourage testing/discussion.
+Demian has fixed the reverse proxy configuration for GitHub pages, so vufind.org now serves up all pages instead of forwarding to GitHub for some content.
 ===== Next Call =====
 The next call will be Tuesday, January 31, 2017 at 9am Eastern Standard Time (14:00 GMT).
