 - Add a privacy page to CGSpace
   - The work was mostly similar to the About page at `/page/about`, but in addition to adding i18n strings etc, I had to add the logic for the trail to `dspace-xmlui-mirage2/src/main/webapp/xsl/preprocess/general.xsl`

+- Linode migrated CGSpace (linode18) to a new host, but I am still getting poor performance when copying data to DSpace Test (linode19)
+  - I asked them if we can migrate DSpace Test to a new host
+  - They migrated DSpace Test to a new host and the rsync speed from Frankfurt was still capped at 20KiB/sec...
+  - I booted DSpace Test to a rescue CD and tried the rsync from CGSpace there too, but it was still capped at 20KiB/sec...
+- Finally upload the 218 IITA items from March to CGSpace
+  - Abenet and I had to do a little bit more work to correct the metadata of one item that appeared to be a duplicate, but really just had the wrong DOI
+- While I was uploading the IITA records I noticed that twenty of the records Sisay uploaded in 2018-09 had double Handles (`dc.identifier.uri`)
+  - According to my notes in 2018-09 I had noticed this when he uploaded the records and told him to remove them, but he didn't...
+  - I exported the IITA community as a CSV then used `csvcut` to extract the two URI columns and identify and fix the records:
+
+```
+$ csvcut -c id,dc.identifier.uri,'dc.identifier.uri[]' ~/Downloads/2019-04-24-IITA.csv > /tmp/iita.csv
+```

+- Carlos Tejo from the Land Portal had been emailing me this week to ask about the old REST API that Tsega was building in 2017
+  - I told him we never finished it, and that he should try to use the `/items/find-by-metadata-field` endpoint, with the caveat that you need to match the language attribute exactly (ie "en", "en_US", null, etc)
+  - I asked him how many terms they are interested in, as we could probably make it easier by normalizing the language attributes of these fields (it would help us anyways)
