| Reagan and Felix present: List of Priorities: https://folio-org.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PC/pages/931070022 Prio #1: holdings and item ordering: some issues are already in dev right now Prio #2: this is still in a very early stage and may lead to a big conceptual change and rather a long term goal; see also Wolfcon session https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hNb-a2bpDw&list=PLMocoPoiGkwcUSiOjdssz_2iXrYwf7cR4&index=36 Prio #3: Discussion about Folio being format agnostic versus supporting source formats like Marc or Bibframe. More or less consensus that both should be possible but have to be separated (search in source/storage vs. search in inventory) MM SIG uses https://folio-org.atlassian.net/jira/dashboards/10302 to make up priority list There have been lively discussions and positive feedback, also in chat. |
