 Solr 6.4.2 has been released, which supposedly fixes the [[https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-10130|SOLR-10130]] performance issues. Demian has updated [[https://github.com/vufind-org/vufind/pull/869|#869]] so we can resume testing. Please share feedback if you have time to try this out. Solr 6.4.2 has been released, which supposedly fixes the [[https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-10130|SOLR-10130]] performance issues.

 +Ere has done a little bit of experimentation with Solr 6.4.2 -- so far, so good, but more extensive performance testing is needed. (Still running patched 6.4.1 in production at the moment).

 +Chris is looking at some new technologies for inspiration (though he doesn't plan to make dramatic changes to the core themes at this stage). Better customization options are a goal. If you have strong opinions on how any particular elements (buttons, inputs, etc.) should be styled, please send suggestions to Chris -- he will be working on visually differentiating VuFind from Bootstrap defaults.

 +The survey is officially closed. Chris still needs to go through the detailed text answers. Chris thanks everyone from participating -- we got more responses than anticipated.
 +
 +Some interesting initial findings:
 +
 +1. The largest chunk of users are on 2.x, followed by 3.1
 +
 +2. Nearly half of users are running multiple instances
 +
 +3. 95% of users are running MySQL; the rest are on PostgreSQL
 +
 +4. The largest chunk of ILS usage goes to NoILS (20% use no ILS!)
 +
 +5. Piwik is much more popular than Google Analytics (though "no analytics" is least popular)
 +
 +6. Most people install via GitHub; some users have scripted automated deployment tools
 +
 +A more detailed summary will be provided on the next call.
