• Migration - CIO has to sign off on security exception; hoping gets to it today. Blog changes coming down the pike before October campaign.

• Full Text - ElasticSearch and SOLR, sample installations; Schemas for storing data. SOLR has faceting. Experience of others, might be able to get better support when we have questions. Not ready to give up on ElasticSearch just yet. Make a schema, load some data and see what it looks like. Pulled out some data in a form that makes sense, push to both at same time. Running on OS 10. Both java applications. Linux rather than Windows for SOLR. tomcat for stability.

• EABL - Gemini ticket from Mariah, uploaded but not moving to BHL. MARC records for about 20-25 items; easier to edit in Macaw. She's going to update the MARC records. She'll upload a replacement file or edit them in Macaw. There were 2 record elements and way Macaw looks at xml, it only looks at first one. On IA end, it sees multiple records and creates a new structure, created issues with derivative files. Could we put an error check in Macaw? Yes, Joel has a ticket in his Macaw list to add an error check there.

• Status of contributor changes in Macaw - No news.

• Any other topics? - Blog moving from Blogger to Wordpress. Will make temporary domain names like frightpages.org easier to do in the future. Also gives a little more control over how it looks. Timeline before campaign in October.
