Notes 

VIVO solr

Georgy prepared a PR for updating configuration to be compatible with Apache Solr 9. The team discusses how to handle releases for the vivo-solr configuration project, considering its compatibility with different VIVO and Apache Solr versions. They agree it's not directly tied to VIVO versions. Brian suggests creating a simple Wiki page with a table showing which VIVO-solr (and VIVO-es) versions are compatible with specific Vivo versions. The team also debates the appropriate version numbering scheme for vivo- solr releases. They agreed to change the naming convention to align with the Apache Solr version, such as "vivo solar, 8.11" instead of "1.11". 

Browse filters on custom page

Brian to give priority on reviewing this PR. The Elastic Search PR depends on this PR. Ivan can help in reviewing this PR if it is needed. 

Role management

Dragan and Brian discussed the issue of deleting standard roles, with Brian suggesting moving the n3 file defining those roles to the firsttime rdf directory. Georgy committed to making these changes. Dragan to test it and if it works it might be ready for merging. 

JQuery upgrade

The team also discussed the removal of a Javascript framework, Dojo, from the Vitro project, with Georgy explaining that it was no longer needed and had been tested to ensure functionality.
