Agenda
A couple of surprises came up while I was working to define articles in BHL as part of the EABL project. To summarize the problems:

• In many cases, Rod Page’s code can’t find articles when the article start page lacks a page number in the page level metadata.
• Much of the content in which we want to define articles is being digitized at the Smithsonian.
• Many articles start on pages that are implicitly numbered but lack explicit page numbers.
• The Smithsonian can’t enter implicit page numbers using the IA Scribe software

Notes:

We (who?) will ask Internet Archive to see if they will consider adding the ability to include square brackets in a page number.

The Full Text Server paperwork has been submitted for ordering. Joel hopes that it will be ordered and shipped within the next two weeks with it ready sometime in January. But he doesn't really know.

Gemini Tickets for BHL 2.0 wishlist items will remain on the wishlist but will be closed to cut down on the number of tickets that we in the tech group see on a daily basis.

Happy thanksgiving!
