      • Things that 1.6.2.x includes that 2.0 does not include:
        • Batch MARC update via staff client UI
        • Enhanced MARC merge interface (enables use of MARC editor, for example)
    3. 2.0
      • Bugs targeted to RC2
      • Most recently reported bugs
        • Maybe a review of recently reported bugs should fall under a general QA/bug wrangler section?
      • 2.0 is mostly in cleanup mode now, approaching readiness for a 2.0.0 release
      • ACTION: Mike Rylander to create a bug (and possibly fix!) for moving custom index definitions around during upgrade to make room for the pinned-ID indexes added in stock 2.0

  5. (10 min) Post-2.0 planning (carried over from last meeting):
    • Update Dojo from 1.3 (released March 2009) to 1.5 (out since July 2010)
      • No objections, we just need a volunteer; Galen Charlton noted that we're currently working around one bug in 1.3 that is fixed in 1.5
    • Move to git or some other DVCS for the official repository?
      • Mike Rylander expressed some reservations about DVCS in general, but wanted to keep the choice of DVCS open
      • ACTION: Mike Rylander to continue the discussion on the mailing list, started in this thread
    • Move to require a minimum of PostgreSQL 9.0
      • Mike Rylander has some functionality in the works that would be much simpler to provide if PostgreSQL 9.0 was the minimum
      • No strenuous objections were voiced
    • ACTION: Dan Scott to post a notice to the -dev mailing list to call for ideas and discussion about any other major infrastructure changes that we should consider for post-2.0
  6. Conference planning:
    • Dan Scott wondered whether he should tack on a day or two at the end of the Evergreen conference in the hopes of an in-person dev team meeting / real development session
      • Mike Rylander expressed support for that idea
      • ACTION: Dan Scott to post a notice to the -dev mailing list to find out if there's support / plan
