Hi,
I would like to have a discussion regarding making certain
options the default for new installations of Koha 3.14 and
deprecating other options. Here's the list of proposals:
Enable DOM mode by default for both bibs and authorities
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now that MARC21, NORMARC, and UNIMARC have DOM indexing
configurations available, this is now possible.
Deprecating the GRS-1 filter
-----------------------------------------
Giving that DOM has significant advantages of GRS-1 in its
flexibility, and as the DOM filter would be required for
non-MARC metadata support by Zebra, I propose that we announce
a deprecation of the GRS-1 configuration with it to be removed
by 3.16. I foresee several features coming down the pike for
3.16 that would require a reindexing during upgrade anyway, so
switching to DOM for 3.16 would not impose a burden that
wouldn't be present anyway.
Enable QueryParser by default
---------------------------------------------
Bug 10542 might be a blocker for this, and doing something
about bug 10831 would be nice in order to do this.
Deprecating non-QueryParser mode
---------------------------------------------------
Removing the non-QueryParser code would go a long way
towards easing the rewrite of C4::Search.
Enable ICU by default
-------------------------------
This was discussed during hackfest. One precondition I
see is that bug 10729 would have to pass QA
Regards,
Galen
