Modularization, Revisited
Josef Moravek brought up the idea of separating VuFind's ILS drivers into their own repository so they could be reused/shared elsewhere (and suggested they might be helpful for his Tohu open source self-check project). We have been discussing this for some time; perhaps it is worth moving forward on a proof-of-concept.
Additionally, as a first step, Demian observed that the VuFind\Date\Converter code would be a good candidate for separation from the VuFind core, as it stands alone and serves as a dependency for many of the ILS drivers. Moving it to a VuFindDate repo would be a prerequisite for ILS driver separation.
