Concerns:

1. VIVO 1.3 features a weighting of search results based on connections between individuals.
   1. rdfs:label, first name, and last name could be preferred fields in the ranking.

There will be a code freeze for 1.3 at the end of June, and a release near July 15th

Nick Skaggs gave an update about his recent trip to the NIH.

• There is a person there trying to get an agency within NIH to begin using VIVO
• There are ontological questions forthcoming

How to hide an individual? Currently only by removing them.

Sourceforge isn't showing some familiar buttons. To be investigated.
