Agenda
1. Development Updates
JIRA Tickets
- VUFIND-860 - This simple recommendation module has been merged to master (it's an old contribution that was overlooked for a long time).
- VUFIND-1348 - This ticket proposes adjusting the way controllers are initialized for greater consistency with other services.
- VUFIND-1349 - This ticket reports a bug in the Search2 module; a fix will be included in release 6.0.1.
Pull Requests
- #1402 -
2. Development Planning
Zend Framework / Laminas Transition
No major news yet – still waiting for the Laminas code to drop. The getlaminas.org site still has not changed significantly since it was unveiled.
Browse Handler Optimizations
No news.
Selective Dissemination of Information (SDI)
Demian is continuing to make progress on email change logic (pull request #1401).
3. Developers Summit
Ere and Demian met with André Lahmann, Sebastian Kehr and Dorian Merz to discuss issues of modularity for further elaboration at the German Summit. Possible goals include better local Composer support (i.e. VUFIND-1343), better alignment with standard Zend Framework template loading conventions (to allow other Zend components to play more nicely with VuFind's theming system) and progress on improved configuration management (PR #1141). This will be discussed in more detail at the German Summit and the Villanova roadmapping session.
On the subject of the roadmapping session, Demian has put together a 2019 Summit wiki page and proposed a schedule. Due to lack of interest in in-person attendance, the schedule is greatly reduced from previous years; this will hopefully be revitalized with the shift to WOLFcon.
On the subject of WOLFcon, the next event will be January 22-24, 2020 at Texas A&M University, with a $350 registration fee. Demian plans to attend and will be requesting time and space for VuFind-related meetings in case others will be there too.
