Both of those sound good to me. Just to clarify the status of dev_week,
* The API is identical to rel_2_2 except that the Search API has changed.
* There are some new functions to search and save records in zebra
* This means that on the whole, dev-week is quite stable, having rel_2_2
as the basis, the new search and record management functions could use
additional testing and work.
* There is also a minimal wrapper for the old search API that could use some
improvements (ie, it is a bare minimum that only does a keyword search
for everything).
* I plan to continue working on dev_week until it's ready for production,
at which point I will release 2.4.
* due to time and budget constraints I'm only able to work with what
my customer's need: MARC21 + NPL tempaltes, but I would be happy to
see other flavours and templates supported.
In the meantime, it would be very interesting to sync dev_week with HEAD,
though when we do that we need to look carefully at the changes to the API
that already exist in HEAD -- a task beyond my resources right now.

I think it's definitely possible to do this.

Sounds good, I'll post a separate email about the meeting.
