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 -- Galen Charlton Manager of Implementation Equinox Software, Inc. / The Open Source Experts email: gmc@esilibrary.com direct: +1 770-709-5581 cell: +1 404-984-4366 skype: gmcharlt web: http://www.esilibrary.com/ Supporting Koha and Evergreen: http://koha-community.org & http://evergreen-ils.org
