Re: [VuFind-General] How do you want code contributions

[Wayne G. <ws...@wm...>]

You can post a patch to the list. You can also post them to the 
sourceforge tracker at 
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=199442&atid=969508.

We are working on updating the indexing mechanism on several fronts; 
providing a mapping of marc fields to schema fields, and I believe 
Andrew has been working with a lot of catalogers to tweak and rename 
many of the fields.

Andrew will be in and out for a while, but go ahead and post anything 
you have (thoughts, code, or whatever) to the list.

Cheers,
Wayne
