All Chairs meeting/Analyst Meeting updates

41 minutes

Tom/Jackie

• CJK issue discussed at AC (Tom)

  • options provided by ExL are not satisfactory

  • moving forward with reindexing (May-ish) despite issues/concerns and hoping for the best

    • reindexing timeline information continues to be vague - would like to see this information be made clearer

  • reverting back is an option, but would be from a past that will not include changes made since (could be significant)

    • would be helpful to have a clear point in time available for this reversion, but ExL processes are purposefully unclear

• Analyst Meeting (Jackie)

  • 2 issues:

    • no “starts with” search (880 and 245 fields issue)

    • for some languages (Hebrew and Arabic specifically) a definite article is needed/included, but ExL is not able to include that in a search

      • some Israeli environments have a plug-in that takes care of this issue, but ExL says this is only available in those environments and not for UCs and not “in the roadmap” for us

      • Jackie expressed a need for clarity on this decision and more consistency from ExL in their responses

  • Meeting was considered fruitless

  • Jackie working with Gem and Hermina on a new consortial ticket on this issue - affecting everyone, not just UCB

    • will be on LG agenda in the future

  • Suggestion to bring up this issue at ExL meetings and push for solutions on this high impact issue for Primo

  • revisit “Signature Support” program with @Caitlin Nelson - how is it going?

• LG is moving forward with new committee (will be directed by Jackie)

  • timeline discussed to assist Jackie in navigating her time away while also moving forward with this committee and their charge

    • need an LG member in order to fully move forward with the new committee (on the agenda for Friday 4/28 - Jackie will check in with Tom on that date)

    • end May/early June - prep membership lists

• brief discussion about transitions in OT

  • add to OT agenda to see if anyone is transitioning off

• action item from last OT meeting for Jackie and Caitlin may not be necessary (Reminder of action item: @Caitlin Nelson and @Jackie Gosselar to create a write up on the New Analytics UI for distribution to SILS OT)

  • Jackie will touch base w/Caitlin upon return in 2 weeks

• Document shared by Tom: Alma / Primo VE software review 2023

  • Maybe bring this up at OT at some point?
