+- Udana from IWMI had asked about stats discrepencies from reports they had generated in previous months or years
+  - I told him that we very often purge bots and the number of stats can change drastically
+  - Also, I told him that it is not possible to compare stats from previous exports and that the stats should be taking with a grain of salt
+- Testing POSTing items to the DSpace 6 REST API
+  - We need to authenticate to get a JSESSIONID cookie first:
+
+```
+$ http -f POST https://dspacetest.cgiar.org/rest/login email=aorth@fuuu.com 'password=fuuuu'
+$ http https://dspacetest.cgiar.org/rest/status Cookie:JSESSIONID=EABAC9EFF942028AA52DFDA16DBCAFDE
+```
+
+- Then we post an item in JSON format to `/rest/collections/{uuid}/items`:
+
+```
+$ http POST https://dspacetest.cgiar.org/rest/collections/f10ad667-2746-4705-8b16-4439abe61d22/items Cookie:JSESSIONID=EABAC9EFF942028AA52DFDA16DBCAFDE < item-object.json
+```
+
+- Format of JSON is:
+
+```
+{ "metadata": [
+    {
+      "key": "dc.title",
+      "value": "Testing REST API post",
+      "language": "en_US"

+      "language": "en_US"
+    }
+  ],
+  "archived":"false",
+  "withdrawn":"false"
+}
+```
+
+- What is unclear to me is the `archived` parameter, it seems to do nothing... perhaps it is only used for the `/items` endpoint when printing information about an item
+  - If I submit to a collection that has a workflow, even as a super admin and with "archived=false" in the JSON, the item enters the workflow ("Awaiting editor's attention")
+  - If I submit to a new collection without a workflow the item gets archived immediately
+  - I created [some notes](https://gist.github.com/alanorth/40fc3092aefd78f978cca00e8abeeb7a) to share with Salem and Leroy for future reference when we start discussion POSTing items to the REST API
+- I created an account for Salem on DSpace Test and added it to the submitters group of an ICARDA collection with no other workflow steps so we can see what happens
+  - We are curious to see if he gets a UUID when posting from MEL
