- Alliance’s TIP team emailed me to ask about issues authenticating on CGSpace
  - It seems their password expired, which is annoying

  - There are many of our subjects that would match if they added a “-” like “high yielding varieties” or used singular…
  - Also I found at least two spelling mistakes, for example “decison support systems”, which would match if it was spelled correctly
- Work on cleaning, proofing, and uploading twenty-seven records for IFPRI to CGSpace

- Apply some more ORCID identifiers to items on CGSpace using my `2022-09-22-add-orcids.csv` file

- Last night I re-synced DSpace 7 Test from CGSpace
  - I also updated all my local `7_x-dev` branches on the latest upstreams
- I spent some time updating the authorizations in Alliance collections
  - I want to make sure they use groups instead of individuals where possible!
- I reverted the Cocoon autosave change because it was more of a nuissance that Peter can’t upload CSVs from the web interface and is a very low severity security issue
