improved caching of visualization data – a student project at Indiana University has investigated and traced the issue as a problem in allowing multiple concurrent threads trying to create the cache of data for the same type of visualization.
- This has been reported instead as a problem with scalability (e.g., for a Map of Science from the 32,000 plus publications in the University of Florida VIVO, or at UPenn)
- This may solve the problem and will at least make it easier to determine whether further work on caching is necessary – if so, a solution for caching intermediate data vs. the final resulting page or image is likely to make sense
- Jim will finish processing the pull request from Indiana that fixes a concurrency bug that might start more than one instance of a long process
HTML5 (phasing out Flash) – not likely to be addressed in 1.6

a static query for that map – only queries geographic regions; the ability to do countries, states and/or counties is anticipated but currently broken
