• Where should we store notes?
• Discussion on the purpose of this call.

possible future/example topics? or if we have time?

• Blacklight's expansive handling of Solr errors with HTTP 200 and "Sorry, I don't understand your search" message. (jrochkind)
  • one specific part https://github.com/projectblacklight/blacklight/pull/2597, I need help with Rubocop complexity error
• RSolr retry_503 feature does not (I think) do what is documented, is not tested, and relies on retry middleware that poses Faraday 2.x upgrade problems. What to do? (jrochkind)
• I have been having trouble figuring out how to upgrade things to Blacklight 8 (or 7-non-deprecated) involving "query constraint overrides". cbeer recently gave me a hint that there may be recently added features in "SearchState" that are relevant at https://github.com/projectblacklight/blacklight/pull/237, but I still haven't been able to figure it out. Others might be in the same boat. Documentation? Example? Knowledge-share? (jrochkind)
