Evergreen Proposed Development Projects

Community members are invited to add the following development projects here:

  • Projects for which you are actively seeking funding partners.
  • Projects for which your organization is seeking quotes.

Please also consider sending a message to the Evergreen general list after adding a project.

If you want to add an enhancement request for Evergreen and are not committed to funding it, please submit the request on Launchpad.

Projects should be removed from this page in either of the following cases:

  • The specs and/or code has been added to Launchpad
  • The organization is no longer considering sponsorship of the project.

Projects in Need of Development Partners

Activity Metric For Relevance Ranking

Sponsoring organization: MassLNC

Contact: Kathy Lussier, klussier@masslnc.org or kmlussier in IRC

More information: This project will add an activity (popularity) metric to be used in the relevance ranking algorithm for Evergreen search results. The goal is for titles that have more activity to rank a little more highly in search results, similar to the way Google and Amazon use popularity in ranking search results. Initial project requirements are available at http://masslnc.cwmars.org/node/2585. MassLNC has received a proposal from Equinox Software to perform this work and will share this proposal with interested partners.

Projects Actively Seeking or Soon to Seek Quotes

When aborting a transit, copies should not automatically get "Reshelving" status

Brief description: If a transit on a copy is aborted at a library other than the owner of the copy, it is better if the copy were to retain an in-transit status with the transit source being the library at which the abort transit was performed. The destination library could be the item's home library, or the pickup library for the next hold.

Sponsoring organization: C/W MARS

Contact: Tim Spindler, tspindler@cwmars.org

Status: Seeking quotes from potential contractors

Select multiple records to add to a list (or bucket)

Brief description: Provide a method for selecting multiple records in a search result to place in a bucket without viewing each record individually. This functionality would also be made available in the public library catalog. This idea was developed out of an expectation to facilitate simpler merging of bib records.
