Looking over the patches on the Equinox branch, it does seem that while this is a significant feature in terms of it's meaning and utility, it has very little impact on the existing code, and will sit benignly in the corner until it is called upon.

One of the XSLTs for DOM authorities is moved so it can be used by both biblios and authorities... we'd need to confirm that DOM authority indexing still behaves itself on both upgraded and new installations.  Other than that, we're pretty safe to include these files, even if they're still being tested and developed (and what part of Koha isn't?)  Users can make the choice to opt-in, or leave things as the default and experience no change.

If we can confirm the above mentioned tests and get signoff on it before the beginning of April (such a quick signoff could be seen as community interest), I'd say this is safe for inclusion in 3.8, even if we need to mark it as still 'in beta' until 3.10.  Of course it's your call, Paul, but that's my opinion on the matter.

I'd like to request that you reconsider this decision -- DOM filter indexing, while it does indeed represent a major enhancement, would not be a mandatory enhancement, since users would continue to be able to use the GRS-1 filter if they wish.  By design, the initial set of DOM rules for MARC21 closely match the records.abs definition.

In conjunction with the Solr work that BibLibre and others are undertaking, I'd like to toss another idea out -- of starting the process of deprecating GRS-1 use in 3.10.

Regards,

Galen
