<ul>
<li>Looking at issues with author authorities on CGSpace</li>
<li>For some reason we still have the <code>index-lucene-update</code> cron job active on CGSpace, but I&rsquo;m pretty sure we don&rsquo;t need it as of the latest few versions of Atmire&rsquo;s Listings and Reports module</li>
<li>Reinstall my local (Mac OS X) DSpace stack with Tomcat 7, PostgreSQL 9.3, and Java JDK 1.7 to match environment on CGSpace server</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>Troubleshooting the issues with the slew of commits for Atmire modules in <a href="https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/182">#182</a></li>
<li>Their changes on <code>5_x-dev</code> branch work, but it is messy as hell with merge commits and old branch base</li>
<li>When I rebase their branch on the latest <code>5_x-prod</code> I get blank white pages</li>
<li>I identified one commit that causes the issue and let them know</li>
<li>Restart DSpace Test, as it seems to have crashed after Sisay tried to import some CSV or zip or something:</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>Exception in thread &quot;Lucene Merge Thread #19&quot; org.apache.lucene.index.MergePolicy$MergeException: java.io.IOException: No space left on device

<ul>
<li>Add a few new filters to Atmire&rsquo;s Listings and Reports module (<a href="https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/issues/180">#180</a>)</li>
<li>We had also wanted to add a few to the Content and Usage module but I have to ask the editors which ones they were</li>

<ul>
<li>Disable the lucene cron job on CGSpace as it shouldn&rsquo;t be needed anymore</li>
<li>Discuss ORCiD and duplicate authors on Yammer</li>
<li>Request new documentation for Atmire CUA and L&amp;R modules, as ours are from 2013</li>
<li>Walk Sisay through some data cleaning workflows in OpenRefine</li>
<li>Start cleaning up the configuration for Atmire&rsquo;s CUA module (<a href="https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/issues/185">#184</a>)</li>
<li>It is very messed up because some labels are incorrect, fields are missing, etc</li>
</ul>
<p><img src="../images/2016/03/cua-label-mixup.png" alt="Mixed up label in Atmire CUA" /></p>
<ul>
<li>Update documentation for Atmire modules</li>

<ul>
<li>As I was looking at the CUA config I realized our Discovery config is all messed up and confusing</li>
<li>I&rsquo;ve opened an issue to track some of that work (<a href="https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/issues/186">#186</a>)</li>
<li>I did some major cleanup work on Discovery and XMLUI stuff related to the <code>dc.type</code> indexes (<a href="https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/187">#187</a>)</li>
<li>We had been confusing <code>dc.type</code> (a Dublin Core value) with <code>dc.type.output</code> (a value we invented) for a few years and it had permeated all aspects of our data, indexes, item displays, etc.</li>
<li>There is still some more work to be done to remove references to old <code>outputtype</code> and <code>output</code></li>
</ul>
<h2 id="2016-03-14:5a28ddf3ee658c043c064ccddb151717">2016-03-14</h2>
<ul>
<li>Fix some items that had invalid dates (I noticed them in the log during a re-indexing)</li>
<li>Reset <code>search.index.*</code> to the default, as it is only used by Lucene (deprecated by Discovery in DSpace 5.x): <a href="https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/188">#188</a></li>
<li>Make titles in Discovery and Browse by more consistent (singular, sentence case, etc) (<a href="https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/issues/186">#186</a>)</li>
<li>Also four or so center-specific subject strings were missing for Discovery</li>
</ul>

<li>Still having problems deploying Atmire&rsquo;s CUA updates and fixes from January!</li>
<li>More discussion on the GitHub issue here: <a href="https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/182">https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/182</a></li>
<li>Clean up Atmire CUA config (<a href="https://github.com/ilri/DSpace/pull/193">#193</a>)</li>
<li>Help Sisay with some PostgreSQL queries to clean up the incorrect <code>dc.contributor.corporateauthor</code> field</li>
<li>I noticed that we have some weird values in <code>dc.language</code>:</li>

<ul>
<li>It seems this <code>dc.language</code> field isn&rsquo;t really used, but we should delete these values</li>
<li>Also, <code>dc.language.iso</code> has some weird values, like &ldquo;En&rdquo; and &ldquo;English&rdquo;</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>It turns out <code>hi</code> is the ISO 639 language code for Hindi, but these should be in <code>dc.language.iso</code> instead of <code>dc.language</code></li>
<li>I fixed the eleven items with <code>hi</code> as well as some using the incorrect <code>vn</code> for Vietnamese</li>
<li>Start discussing CG core with Abenet and Sisay</li>
<li>Re-sync CGSpace database to DSpace Test for Atmire to do some tests about the problematic CUA patches</li>
<li>The patches work fine with a clean database, so the error was caused by some mismatch in CUA versions and the database during my testing</li>

<ul>
<li>Merge Atmire fixes into <code>5_x-prod</code></li>
<li>Discuss thumbnails with Francesca from Bioversity</li>
<li>Some of their items end up with thumbnails that have a big white border around them:</li>
</ul>
<p><img src="../images/2016/03/bioversity-thumbnail-bad.jpg" alt="Excessive whitespace in thumbnail" /></p>
<ul>
<li>Turns out we can add <code>-trim</code> to the GraphicsMagick options to trim the whitespace</li>
</ul>
<p><img src="../images/2016/03/bioversity-thumbnail-good.jpg" alt="Trimmed thumbnail" /></p>
<ul>
<li>Command used:</li>
</ul>
<pre><code>$ gm convert -trim -quality 82 -thumbnail x300 -flatten Descriptor\ for\ Butia_EN-2015_2021.pdf\[0\] cover.jpg

<li>Also, it looks like adding <code>-sharpen 0x1.0</code> really improves the quality of the image for only a few KB</li>

<h2 id="2016-03-21:5a28ddf3ee658c043c064ccddb151717">2016-03-21</h2>
<ul>
<li>Fix 66 site errors in Google&rsquo;s webmaster tools</li>
<li>I looked at a bunch of them and they were old URLs, weird things linked from non-existent items, etc, so I just marked them all as fixed</li>
<li>We also have 1,300 &ldquo;soft 404&rdquo; errors for URLs like: <a href="https://cgspace.cgiar.org/handle/10568/440/browse?type=bioversity">https://cgspace.cgiar.org/handle/10568/440/browse?type=bioversity</a></li>
<li>I&rsquo;ve marked them as fixed as well since the ones I tested were working fine</li>
<li>This raises another question, as many of these pages are linked from Discovery search results and might create a duplicate content problem&hellip;</li>
<li>Results pages like this give items that Google already knows from the sitemap: <a href="https://cgspace.cgiar.org/discover?filtertype=author&amp;filter_relational_operator=equals&amp;filter=Orth%2C+A">https://cgspace.cgiar.org/discover?filtertype=author&amp;filter_relational_operator=equals&amp;filter=Orth%2C+A</a>.</li>
<li>There are some access denied errors on JSPUI links (of course! we forbid them!), but I&rsquo;m not sure why Google is trying to index them&hellip;</li>
<li>For example:
<ul>
<li>This: <a href="https://cgspace.cgiar.org/jspui/bitstream/10568/809/1/main-page.pdf">https://cgspace.cgiar.org/jspui/bitstream/10568/809/1/main-page.pdf</a></li>
<li>Linked from: <a href="https://cgspace.cgiar.org/jspui/handle/10568/809">https://cgspace.cgiar.org/jspui/handle/10568/809</a></li>
</ul></li>
<li>I will mark these errors as resolved because they are returning HTTP 403 on purpose, for a long time!</li>
<li>Google says the first time it saw this particular error was September 29, 2015&hellip; so maybe it accidentally saw it somehow&hellip;</li>
<li>On a related note, we have 51,000 items indexed from the sitemap, but 500,000 items in the Google index, so we DEFINITELY have a problem with duplicate content</li>
</ul>
<p><img src="../images/2016/03/google-index.png" alt="CGSpace pages in Google index" /></p>
<ul>
<li>Turns out this is a problem with DSpace&rsquo;s <code>robots.txt</code>, and there&rsquo;s a Jira ticket since December, 2015: <a href="https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-2962">https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-2962</a></li>
<li>I am not sure if I want to apply it yet</li>
<li>For now I&rsquo;ve just set a bunch of these dynamic pages to not appear in search results by using the URL Parameters tool in Webmaster Tools</li>
</ul>
<p><img src="../images/2016/03/url-parameters.png" alt="URL parameters cause millions of dynamic pages" />

<li>Move AVCD collection to new community and update <code>move_collection.sh</code> script: <a href="https://gist.github.com/alanorth/392c4660e8b022d99dfa">https://gist.github.com/alanorth/392c4660e8b022d99dfa</a></li>
<li>It seems Feedburner can do HTTPS now, so we might be able to update our feeds and simplify the nginx configs</li>
<li>De-deploy CGSpace with latest <code>5_x-prod</code> branch</li>
<li>Run updates on CGSpace and reboot server (new kernel, <code>4.5.0</code>)</li>
<li>Deploy Let&rsquo;s Encrypt certificate for cgspace.cgiar.org, but still need to work it into the ansible playbooks</li>
