To that, I would add:

6. Keeping OL up to date using Amazon and/or Library of Congress. No new data has been added to those sources in a couple of years (I used to remember when it stopped), so every day the database gets further from having current publications and covers for those publications.

When we had our last meeting these were the priorities that I came up
with that are still outstanding. Basic functionality issues for me
besides stopping spam are: waitlist functions, DAISY issues and a few
different search issues.

1. Top priority to me is the waitlist bug which is still affecting a
number of patrons and is the only thing that is newly "broken."
2. Small but important issue is the DAISY files not being created for
some books. This was fixed and is now not fixed again.
3. Getting Search results showing proper status of books (i.e. people
search for a book, search results show it's available but it's checked
out)
4. Getting Solr index current (so people add a book and can find it a
few days later, or add a book to an author's page and can see it
there).
5. Search working correctly. Includes Search inside working with
multiple word searches, through multiple page queries, with current
results and functional on iPad

There's a bunch of stuff that could be done to streamline the spam
flagging and processing, do more automated spam detection, etc.  The current
web form reporting and lone pioneer cleaning up doesn't scale...

It's sad to see because it wouldn't really take that much effort to make
it a thriving and vibrant site, but IA just doesn't care.

I was just in SF running a CODEX hackathon, and met some IA folk who talked
about how to make OL awesome again + better integrated & supported.

So at least some people are discussing caring. And I believe they're looking
to hire ~5 developers across the Archive.

A list of priorities — from the community of OL users and would-be
contributors — as a subset of the many many open bugs and requests — could
be helpful to any new push.
