- Move ILRI collection
10568/12503 from 10568/27869 to 10568/27629 using the move_collections.sh script I wrote last year.
- I realized it is only necessary to clear the Cocoon cache after moving collections—rather than reindexing—as no metadata has changed, and therefore no search or browse indexes need to be updated.
- Update GitHub wiki for documentation of maintenance tasks.

- Change “Extension material” to “Extension Material” in input-forms.xml (a mistake that fell through the cracks when we fixed the others in DSpace 4 era)

- Work on tweaks and updates for the social sharing icons on item pages: add Delicious and Mendeley (from Academicons), make links open in new windows, and set the icon color to the theme’s primary color (#157)
- Tweak date-based facets to show more values in drill-down ranges (#162)
- Need to remember to clear the Cocoon cache after deployment or else you don’t see the new ranges immediately
- Set up recipe on IFTTT to tweet new items from the CGSpace Atom feed to my twitter account
- Altmetrics’ support for Handles is kinda weak, so they can’t associate our items with DOIs until they are tweeted or blogged, etc first.

- Still waiting for my IFTTT recipe to fire, two days later
- It looks like the Atom feed on CGSpace hasn’t changed in two days, but there have definitely been new items
- The RSS feed is nearly as old, but has different old items there
- On a hunch I cleared the Cocoon cache and now the feeds are fresh
- Looks like there is configuration option related to this,
webui.feed.cache.age, which defaults to 48 hours, though I’m not sure what relation it has to the Cocoon cache
- In any case, we should change this cache to be something more like 6 hours, as we publish new items several times per day.
- Work around a CSS issue with long URLs in the item view (#172)
