Changes

On 6 November 2008, there was a meeting at the Palinet offices in Philadelphia to discuss the future of open source discovery portals. The [http://vufind.org/ [VuFind]] and [http://blacklight.rubyforge.org/ Blacklight] projects had already started cooperating by sharing indexing code in the form of [http://code.google.com/p/solrmarc/ SolrMarc], and as a community we wanted to explore whether there were other ways we could be cooperating, and what our development priorities should be. We discussed the following topics and some people identified themselves as particularly interested in following up on specific topics and doing further work in a given area. Bess took notes, which are pasted here, but please feel free to expand upon these with your own memories of the conversation.
