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)

Re-deploy CGSpace and DSpace Test with latest 5_x-prod branch
This included the social icon fixes/updates, date-based facet tweaks, reducing the feed cache age, and fixing a layout issue in XMLUI item view when an item had long URLs

Run nginx updates on CGSpace and DSpace Test (1.8.1 and 1.9.10, respectively)
Run updates on DSpace Test and reboot for new Linode kernel Linux 4.4.0-x86_64-linode63 (first update in months)

Start looking at importing some Bioversity data that had been prepared earlier this week
While checking the data I noticed something strange, there are 79 items but only 8 unique PDFs:

$ ls SimpleArchiveForBio/ | wc -l 79 $ find SimpleArchiveForBio/ -iname “*.pdf” -exec basename {} ; | sort -u | wc -l 8
