Memorial (John)
No new updates this week - Max just returned from the holiday break in China early this morning and is presumably jetlagged, but will be diving back into migration work. We’ve been finalizing user stories and developing wireframes to guide our development from here - workshopping them with internal staff that will be using the tool next week, then passing them to Miles W. for continued development.

Want properties to appear in the RDF but not display on the site.
Committing ontology changes to SVN -- do property groups persist an ANT build? Brian: yes, they should persist in the database
Procedures for patching. Does anyone run a website in read-only mode?
Tammy: Throw up a temporary down through Apache. Restarting the system if there are any major reboots. Quick reboot if it’s been up for more than a month.
Alex: Has a simple page using Apache HTTP Server config to make its display automatic if Tomcat is down (could share if you like)
- Richard: has two instances of VIVO on different VMs. Use an F5 load balancer and open source Capistrano adapted for Java.
Notable list traffic
