<li>Alliance&rsquo;s TIP team emailed me to ask about issues authenticating on CGSpace
<ul>
<li>It seems their password expired, which is annoying</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I continued looking at the CGSpace subjects for the FAO / AGROVOC exercise that I started last week
<ul>
<li>There are many of our subjects that would match if they added a &ldquo;-&rdquo; like &ldquo;high yielding varieties&rdquo; or used singular&hellip;</li>
<li>Also I found at least two spelling mistakes, for example &ldquo;decison support systems&rdquo;, which would match if it was spelled correctly</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Work on cleaning, proofing, and uploading twenty-seven records for IFPRI to CGSpace</li>

<li>Last night I re-synced DSpace 7 Test from CGSpace
<ul>
<li>I also updated all my local <code>7_x-dev</code> branches on the latest upstreams</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I spent some time updating the authorizations in Alliance collections
<ul>
<li>I want to make sure they use groups instead of individuals where possible!</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>I reverted the Cocoon autosave change because it was more of a nuissance that Peter can&rsquo;t upload CSVs from the web interface and is a very low severity security issue</li>
