 +Claas received results from an accessibility check on website and catalog. Some issues were found; some are bug-related (for example, modal not unhiding correctly in some contexts). Some issues are specific to local theme but others may affect core VuFind. Pull requests will be opened as necessary. (Demian and Ere mentioned that their sites had also gone through some accessibility review but are working fairly well overall; did not encounter modal issue).
 +
 +=== ILS Support Updates ===
 +
 +FOLIO integration work is going well -- Chris has a skeletal FOLIO driver working and is also creating an abstract test case to make implementation of API-based drivers easier in future.
 +
 +Progress has also been made on the Alma pull request. Ere asked about holdings retrieval speeds; Demian believes these are now improved but more testing is required.

 +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.
