+Ere has been making good progress on the Zend Framework 3 upgrade and is finding it fairly easy so far (after an initial learning curve). He likes the trend toward breaking things into smaller pieces for easier overriding.
+There was some discussion of other areas in need of improvement -- other heavy-weight controllers like MyResearchController, and the ILS drivers. Specific ILS driver discussions:
+  - getConfig is used in many places; perhaps a better mechanism for reporting ILS capabilities can be developed for greater clarity.
+  - Some ILS drivers have not been maintained in multiple years; we may want to come up with a process for retiring them, as this legacy code makes future refactoring and improvement more challenging.
+  - Some ILS drivers are very large; perhaps we should consider breaking them into multiple classes (though this need may go away in future as newer ILS APIs reduce the need for internal logic).
+  - Ere has implemented some local customer payment and account modification functionality; he may contribute some of this as pull requests in the future.
