 +Chris is looking into tools and techniques for a future "progressive" theme. Goals include more modular CSS. Chris is working on a "vision board" of ideas for this; he will share if possible. He welcomes suggestions and feedback.
 +
 +Chris is also thinking about improved accessibility of developers call minutes. Suggestion: consider recording meetings for posting after the fact and possible transcription.
 +
 +Leila suggested that transcription-only might be a good place to start; she has had good experience with YouTube auto-transcription. YouTube currently makes transcription download very convenient. Other tools are also available.
 +
 +We will experiment with recording next month's call as a proof of concept.
 +
 +Leila is going to have more time for VuFind development soon and will look at getting new geographic features onto the project board (such as polygon-based searches).
 +
 +Leila has noticed some memory leaks in her VuFind 4.1 Solr instance. She will try upgrading to VuFind 5 (with Solr 7) to see if that makes a difference.
 +
 +Leila also still has containerization of VuFind using Docker on her to-do list but has been too busy to make progress yet.
