2017-06-01 After discussion with WLE and CGSpace content people, we decided to just add one metadata field for the WLE Research Themes The cg.identifier.wletheme field will be used for both Phase I and Phase II Research Themes Then we’ll create a new sub-community for Phase II and create collections for the research themes there The current “Research Themes” community will be renamed to “WLE Phase I Research Themes” Tagged all items in the current Phase I collections with their appropriate themes Create pull request to add Phase II research themes to the submission form: #328 Add cg.

2017-05-01 ICARDA apparently started working on CG Core on their MEL repository They have done a few cg.* fields, but not very consistent and even copy some of CGSpace items: https://mel.cgiar.org/xmlui/handle/20.500.11766/6911?show=full https://cgspace.cgiar.org/handle/10568/73683 2017-05-02 Atmire got back about the Workflow Statistics issue, and apparently it’s a bug in the CUA module so they will send us a pull request 2017-05-04 Sync DSpace Test with database and assetstore from CGSpace Re-deploy DSpace Test with Atmire’s CUA patch for workflow statistics, run system updates, and restart the server Now I can see the workflow statistics and am able to select users, but everything returns 0 items Megan says there are still some mapped items are not appearing since last week, so I forced a full index-discovery -b Need to remember to check if the collection has more items (currently 39 on CGSpace, but 118 on the freshly reindexed DSPace Test) tomorrow: https://cgspace.

<li>Merge one change to CCAFS flagships that I had forgotten to remove last month (“MANAGING CLIMATE RISK”): <ahref="https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/317">https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/317</a></li>
<li>Quick proof-of-concept hack to add <code>dc.rights</code> to the input form, including some inline instructions/hints:</li>

<li>Remove redundant/duplicate text in the DSpace submission license</li>
<li>Testing the CMYK patch on a collection with 650 items:</li>
<li>Run the 279 CIAT author corrections on CGSpace</li>

<li>Skype with Michael and Peter, discussing moving the CGIAR Library to CGSpace</li>
<li>CGIAR people possibly open to moving content, redirecting library.cgiar.org to CGSpace and letting CGSpace resolve their handles</li>
<li>They might come in at the top level in one “CGIAR System” community, or with several communities</li>
<li>I need to spend a bit of time looking at the multiple handle support in DSpace and see if new content can be minted in both handles, or just one?</li>
<li>Need to send Peter and Michael some notes about this in a few days</li>
<li>Also, need to consider talking to Atmire about hiring them to bring ORCiD metadata to REST / OAI</li>
<li>Filed an issue on DSpace issue tracker for the <code>filter-media</code> bug that causes it to process JPGs even when limiting to the PDF thumbnail plugin: <ahref="https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-3516">DS-3516</a></li>
<li>Discovered that the ImageMagic <code>filter-media</code> plugin creates JPG thumbnails with the CMYK colorspace when the source PDF is using CMYK</li>
<li>Interestingly, it seems DSpace 4.x’s thumbnails were sRGB, but forcing regeneration using DSpace 5.x’s ImageMagick plugin creates CMYK JPGs if the source PDF was CMYK (see <ahref="https://cgspace.cgiar.org/handle/10568/51999">10568/51999</a>):</li>
<li>I checked to see if the Solr sharding task that is supposed to run on January 1st had run and saw there was an error</li>
<li>I tested on DSpace Test as well and it doesn’t work there either</li>
<li>I asked on the dspace-tech mailing list because it seems to be broken, and actually now I’m not sure if we’ve ever had the sharding task run successfully over all these years</li>
