News from Sep 28, 2008

For Akubra, I started this week by scouring the web for existing blob storage APIs. I've been keeping disorganized notes here and there, and decided it was past time to start a wiki page on the topic. As the links started piling up, I realized it would be really useful to have a "capability matrix" for the APIs as well as existing implementations. It's not finished yet, but here's where I'm keeping it: Analysis of Existing Approaches. I hope to have the matrix finished by Monday night.

This week, I also:

Reviewed Eddie's Mulgara/SPARQL update for 2.2.4.
Updated the subversion config in src/build to use correct line endings for .sh/.bat. Bill updated the svn properties on the existing files.
Got an open source/nonprofit license for the Gliffy Confluence Plugin. Dan installed it. I really like the way these plugins can be installed and enabled straight through the Confluence admin interface, while it's running.
Merged in FCREPO-253 after Bills review
Started reviewing Eddie's branch, FCREPO-254
Did some top-secret firewall configuration stuff. I suppose it's not good for me to go into details publicly.
