Browse Handler Optimizations
No news.
Selective Dissemination of Information (SDI)
See VUFIND-1309. This would be an expansion of the current RSS functionality, providing more direct user outreach.
5.1 / 6.0 Roadmapping
Demian has made a few adjustments to the GitHub project board but still needs to find time to more comprehensively capture the Summit discussions.
Also still on the to-do list, but not done yet: removing all the 1.x documentation from the wiki to prevent confusion.
3. LiveDVD Demo
4. Institutional Home
No news, though conversations continue to slowly proceed. Demian will remove this from future agendas until there is something more substantial to discuss.
5. Next Call Date
Because of the American Thanksgiving holiday, Demian will be unavailable for the next scheduled call date. The next call will be postponed until December 4.
6. Other Topics?
Next Call
The next call will be Tuesday, December 4, 2018 at 9am Eastern Standard Time (14:00 GMT).
