1.4

In-database localization for 1.4… we're almost there for seed values; Dan (or some minion) just needs to munge the seed data to include explicit primary key values
Conify (pretty administration interface) is done, but still needs i18n support
Circulation rules configuration interface still needs to be written
Credit card payments is about 85% done on the backend
Multi-source Z39.50 interface is done
- Need to move configuration into database (and expand it to include transmission format / record format) - but may push that to 2.0 because it needs a Conify interface
Pre-overdue is done (needs a bit more testing); Indiana may field-test this pre-1.4
SRU server is there, for some basic definition of there
- Push index definition interface past 1.4.0
- Push SRU access point definition interface past 1.4.0 (they're related)
- Simple2Zoom-based Z39.50 server for 1.4.0 - official statement will be that it theoretically works, but is largely untested (Dan has yaz 3.0.34 installed on Conifer servers and will eventually get around to trying this if no-one else does)
Publication date filtering: Bill is opening a ticket to add a UI
Default preferred-language setting for searches:
- need to add locale to the cache key to avoid getting cache hits that match other locales
- also need to add locale to the explicit parameter list
Vandelay importer/exporter:
- front-end will be fairly enormous
- will start basic and build up
- Graham Fawcett should be starting real soon now, we'll get Bill to mentor him as he implements the first bits of Vandelay
User locale preference:
- berick will create as an aus, fall back to aous if not set, fall back to global default
- miker will reuse this for default preferred-language setting

User-initiated "forgot my password" - demo code from code4lib preconference still needs to be cleaned up (i18n template, prevent bulk resets) before we can integrate this into core

Staff client localization:
- Setting locale preference (Jason and Dan):
  - Need to reload chrome (check to see what happens with state)
  - Set locale for mod_xmlent based on some header
- Dojo-ization of dates/numbers/currencies/times
- dojo.config.locale in RemoteRequest.js - Dan - be more defensive (may eventually bundle Dojo with staff client, but let's just get this fixed)
Staff client on recent versions of XULRunner
- 1.9 has been deemed stable now, so Jason wants to start making Evergreen staff client work with it - although it doesn't like self-signed certificates at all
- Broken entities in trunk (!) - Dan to look into, please funnel reports this-a-way

Will integrate a Dojo build for performance into the 1.4.0 tarball, look into layers thereafter for further optimization

1.4 RC release for September is on target
- institute a string freeze for translation purposes as part of the RC

2.0

Academic reserves
- This is high priority for Conifer, even higher priority than serials and acquisitions from some perspectives
- Dan has a (new) October 15th deadline for finishing a code4lib journal article about writing the academic reserves functionality for Evergreen, so there's some good pressure from that front
EDI
- Conifer will direct some funds to a consulting company to get mo/better JSON-EDI roundtripping
