Purposeful Gaming
Trish Sent out RFPs on Friday. What about companies that did not respond? Yes send them RfPs anyway. Send to Zooninverse? Check with Rob Guralnick on an appropriate contact there. Czech company from Jiri – Trish sent email but hasn’t heard back. She also contacted Simon Sherrin for contacts.
Who will review RfPs when they come back? Any PG staff that are interested.
Mike, Trish and William need to be available for Q&A with companies in next month.
FromThePage – waiting for MikeW. to complete installation. Asked for priority on task with IT.

BHL
RJB Linkouts – in Citebank we would remove the externally hosted content. (e.g. links to BHL, SCIELO, etc.) But with OAI sets RJB does not have these filtered out or in separate sets. William has put in request to RJB to separate these out. Trish asked what about the other 2 providers content – do they host everything or link to? Pensoft and SCIELO. Pensoft publishes all their own content. SCIELO aggregates born digital content but hosts all of it themselves.
Author Display – author’s display issues were decided. Mike pushed to production. BHL staff still want to go through notes but this can be done anytime in future. For now the tech team work is complete on this.
